Novell iFolder 3.6 Win client does not support Win 2k3 server. It only supports Win 2k Professional and Win XP.
Kalis >>> sANTo <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> 11/21/2007 2:17 PM >>> I successfully installed and use the iFolder client on multiple windows XP machines and an openSUSE 10.3 machine, but for some reason I can't get it working on windows server 2003 machines. The installation finishes successfully, but when I launch the client the splash screen appears for several minutes and then the application crashes with the following error: Title: Unable to Start iFolder Services Description: A software error is preventing iFolder from initializing. Please contact your system administrator. Details: Object reference not set to an instance of an object. I tried uninstalling the client, removing all references to ifolder and simias (both on the filesystem and in the registry) and then reinstalling the client, but that didn't help. I also installed on several other windows server 2003 systems (without previous ifolder installs), some already had .Net framework v2, some had no .Net framework at all (and thus use the .net runtime that comes with the client). I even tried setting the compatibility mode of ifolderapp.exe and simias.exeto "windows xp". It must be something specific to windows server 2003, but I have no idea what it can be. On MSDN I found a list of fixes in windows server 2003 SP1, which indicates several issues related to "Object Reference not set to an instance of an object" were fixed. But my windows server 2003 systems have SP1 (and one has SP2) Oh, and I'm using the 3.6 client that comes with novel OES2 (My server runs the latest build from http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/dl9pf/openSUSE_10.2/ but that doesn't matter, because the client doesn't even come to the point where it should connect with the server) _______________________________________________ ifolder-dev mailing list ifolder-dev@forge.novell.com http://forge.novell.com/mailman/listinfo/ifolder-dev
