Thanks for your analysis as always. I investigated a bit more what you
said about the pdk's ("there should be one "pdk-*" directory - if there
is no pdk directory then I would look for some sort of permission issue
preventing file writing of the directory"). I have them on my main
server but no trace on the fatal machine. The OS is XP Home and it
doesn't really support folder permissions from what I can tell (at least
not like XPPro). I did though for goofs share the main user folder on
the network (share folder / and / allow network users to change files)
and I got a couple of pdk's. That seemed promising so I went through
various iterations of uninstall and install but am still getting the
fatal message. I also shared the allusers/applicationdata folder and
post-install the pf/squeeze folder but same result. So while permissions
still seem a potential I don't know what else I can give (I had tried
the other day to create and run under a new admin account and different
default location but to no avail). Possibility (ii) is still a
possibility but I'm afraid that that's like looking for a needle in a
haystack. Am back to considering blowing away the drive and reinstalling
windows tomorrow (XPPro if I can find a legit copy but XPHome again if
not - I have disks for that). I've saved off all personal folders
already. Obviously I don't want to do this for the heck of it - what do
you think about that? If SlimServer won't run after that then I don't
think it ever will.Thanks - Tom bpa;504006 Wrote: > I agree, this is not the most satisfactory way to run SBS mainly because > it would be hard to keep up to date. > > The fact the script version runs but the executable fails makes it > likely to be a problem with how the exe was built or possibly even the > ActiveState apps rather than SBS code. > > I found no similar reports in ActiveState forums so I think the problem > is either > (i) how the SqueezeSvr.exe is decompressed and run > (ii) some support library clash or mismatch. > > For (i) - If SqueezeSvr.exe runs OK then there should be one "pdk-*" > directory - if there is no pdk directory then I would look for some sort > of permission issue preventing file writing of the directory. > > For (ii) - since SqueezeSvr.exe doesn't run - it is necessary to look > at what DLLs are used by SqueezeSvr.exe on a similar XP system and then > check versions on the "faulty" system.
