hi everybody,
i am trying to install VS6 just to review the old code on my machine (XP Prof SP2). but it is giving following error.
setup has encountered a problem in launching the followning command line:
"wpie15.exe" /q:a/r:n.
if you have a system directory that contains a % sign, or the directory names *starts* with a space (i.e. 'C:\win95\system'), then setup will fial. please restart setup and ensure your system directory names does not contain the aforementioned problems, setup will now abort...
i am having Visual Studio 2003 also installed on my machine. is this is the reason why i am getting this error. but i dont want to convert that code to VS2003 i have also uninstalled VS2003 and tried to install VS6. but still it is giving same error. i dont want to format my machine as it will take a couple of days to restore all the things.

Hi All,
I have a shared folder on an SBS2003 Server. The folder contains an MSI, and the permissions on the folder give Everyone & Guest full access.
Whenever a user attempts to double click the MSI via the share (\\Server\Share1\folder\App.msi) Windows Installer pops up the following message "The Installation package could not be opened. Verify the package exists..." and the Event ID is: 11708 Install Operation Failed.
However, if a user maps a drive - such as Z:\ - and runs the msi, installation works fine.
I'm not sure what the problem here is... anyone got any ideas?
Thanks,
Martin.

Hey,
there are two possibilities as far as I can tell ...
1. the windows installer package, when run from the shared folder, does not know how to parse its own 'home address' and thus tells you that it doesn't exist... In this case I think that your only solution is to have your users map the network drive in order to access the software.
2. it's also possible that, since users enter a username and password (I'm supposing they are) when mapping the network drive, they are getting different permissions to the file than when they access the share. You should make sure that users are not accessing the shared folder as a 'guest' or 'anonymous' user. Also, you might want to check your permissions to make sure that "Eeveryone" and "Guest" have the "Execute" box checked off, as sometimes "Full Access" still leaves "execute" disabled.
I'm sorry that I can't be of any more help, good luck!

Hi Akseli,
Thanks for the suggestions -

I think you may be on to something here - I think the developer is using an old version of the package tool (VB 6 or earlier), I shall have a go at using a more recent version of the tool.
Thanks,
Martin.

Hi,

Define "not browsing".
It opens up but you get a 404? It doesn't even open up?
If you get an error then either IIS is configured wrong or the page is broken

It doesn't even open up.

Hey,
you might want to check to make sure that you have IE set as the default browser both for the whole OS and in IIS. I don't have a server right here to check, but I seem to recall that there is an option in IIS's preferences which asks you to tell it which broswer it should default to. In case that nothing is filled out you can simply type in 'iexplore.exe' and it should start working.
If you're going to be browsing dynamic pages you should also note that Windows Server 2003's IE security settings are extremely restricted and you should make it a point to review your LOCAL settings to make sure that you can correct display your pages.
Good luck!

Why is it when I log out of a machine the FTP Server disables itself? How do I keep this from happening?

Hi Tad,
It sounds like it is tied to the logged on user. Can you verify where the server is starting? It should start as a System Service, or perhaps the Run key from the registry...

I just installed IE7 on a Toshiba Tecra laptop running XP Pro because of a minor irritation with IE6. I assumed that IE7 would remove the problem - it didn't but now my laptop won't shutdown! I can hibernate it using the power button only, also when typing text into a text box it doesn't always accept the text 1st time like it doesn't receive the focus always.
Are these common problems with IE7? Are they related to IE7 at all? Anyone seen anything like this? Do I have to go back to IE6?
Thanks

When you updated to IE7 did you do it via windows/microsoft update? If so did any other patches/drivers get installed?

I installed it directly from the Microsoft download page. On further investigation the power off problem has 'gone away' by starting up without the port replicator fitted and then shutting down without it fitted. Now I can shut down normally even when its fitted - some sort of installation issue with the port replicator perhaps?
Maybe someone can help with the original problem - occasionally I get corruption of some sort when a web page is displayed, the top of the page will be displayed normally then there will be a half displayed HTML tag such as

sounds like your http connection is breaking in mid transfer. Most likely its either a problem on the server or a network issue between your PC and the webserver. Unless it's part of your internal network there's probably not anything you can do about it.

Noone will do your homework for you. Additionally, this is the wrong forum, so you will not get your answer here.

How does one go about making their own extensions to Windows? I wanna be able to select a bunch of songs in an explorer window, right click on them and select a "Save to Mediaplayer playlist", and have it write a Wmp file right in the directory. That way, next time I come back, I can just hit that playlist and get my songs running, just quick and dirty and on-the-fly.
Can this be done or is it something Windows Media Player has to set up themselves?
Maybe it's been done already. If so, please let me know.

You'll have to create a shell extension for that.

Basically multiple users logging into a remote desktop, and I'm looking for some suggestions of antivirus. I've been a fan of Grisoft AVG on desktops... they should have a server solution, which I'm about to look into. But any other ideas are welcome.
