RE: [Rcom-l] New RAndFriends
Yes Erich problem only occurs on Vista, RandFriends works fine on XP. This error message would not matter if it was only to be used for my own purposes. However, here at Shell we use RandFriends to deploy applications to different people across the business. Most users have lockdown PCs which can only install software that has been scripted by Shell IT. Hence I intend to send a vista compliant version of RandFriends to Shell IT for scripting ready for Shell's move to Vista.
