I will try doing the loopback deal. The instructions say you might but if you have some id number in ipconfig then you dont need to. Well I have a number but will try the lookback anyways I guess.

Re: [MBZ] anybody have the new DVD version of the EPC?
When it goes to install is stops the install and goes to install the program manager deal. Right off the bat it says something about tp/ip corrupt or something like that. You can click ignore and continue on. Then at the end is says something about cant setup the program manager deal and it quits. Dave M. wrote: Yep - works fine on my box (XP SP2).

Re: [MBZ] anybody have the new DVD version of the EPC?
Kaleb, Just got off the phone with Indy. Here's what you have to do. 1. Install Microsoft Loopback Adapter. 2. Disable all other Network Adapters. 3. Start the KeyGen program and Minimize. 4. Start EPC install program. 5. When the install program gets to the screen that has the MAC Address of the Loopback adapter. Write it down and go back to the KeyGen put the MAC Addy into the KenGen. You will get a code back. Copy Past that number into the EPC. Chose the Install Options you want. 6. Follow the Instructions from that point on. _*NOTE*_ If you have a firewall that allows blocking programs from accessing the Internet select DENY. The EPC wants to be like ET and Phone Home. If that happens MB will shut it down. 7. Reboot the computer. Wait at least 5 min before Launching the EPC, There are 2 services in XP that the EPC needs running before it will start. Those services take a few min. to start up. BTW if you Start EPC and it won't let you access any data or comes up in German just shut it down wait a min. or two and restart. Also if you have the WIS program Install it first. The WIS install procedure is the same as the EPC. If this doesn't work let me know. Russ W. Russ Williams wrote: Kaleb, Yep there is a trick to it.

Re: [MBZ] anybody have the new DVD version of the EPC?
You know what the funning thing is, I have NEVER been about to get my old EPO to work when doing the drive mapping and coping the CD's to the hard drive. Well after I got tires of messing with the DVD for now, I reinstalled the old EPC and it mapped everything just fine and works with the files copied to the disk.

Re: [MBZ] anybody have the new DVD version of the EPC?
Dave, Don't know about your version, But the one my Indy installed would not work without the loopback adapter installed. He fought with it for 3 hours.

He launched the EPC to look up a part. A Screen came up to WARNING YOU HAVE A PIRATED COPY OF THE EPC Contact MBNA for a Legal copy. Same thing for his copy of the WIS.

Re: [MBZ] anybody have the new DVD version of the EPC?
Russ, That's bizarre. I suspect the 'pirated' copies are ones that are 'cracked' and don't use a keygen. The keygen creates a real license key, same as you would get from MB. I have my EPC and WIS installed at home, on a PC connected to the internet via broadband. I have no 3rd party firewall (no ZoneAlarm, etc) just the XP built-in thingy. It's never asked to connect and I have no idea if it does or not. Works fine though. It also works on a standalone box that's not connected to the internet. I think it depends on where you obtained the EPC and WIS... there may be 'cracked' versions out there that require the loopback, or that can't be connected to the internet. The old USA-only WIS and EPC have NO problems with this at all. They're probably still floating around FTP servers, or on eBay... :-) +dm -- Date: Mon, 07 Nov 2005 22:51:00 -0600 From: Russ Williams [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [MBZ] anybody have the new DVD version of the EPC?
