Re: [wpkg-users] Cannot install wpkg on W2k3 Terminal Server
Are you installing the WPKG Client in install mode on the TS (change user /install) http://technet2.microsoft.com/windowsserver/en/library/8ef377c7-3815-4b1c-9cd5-b7950120c0c21033.mspx?mfr=true -Jochum Alan Au wrote the following on 28/03/2008 10:33: HI, Rainer, I have tried 1.2-rc6 , but got the same error.

Re: [wpkg-users] Cannot install wpkg on W2k3 Terminal Server
At least on my machine there have been no more information within the event log than displayed already within the dialog window. This application has requested the Runtime to terminate it in an unusual way. Addition. Google gives lots of hits when using the error message as a search term: http://www.google.ch/search?q=This+application+has+requested+the+Runtime+to+terminate+in+an+unusual+wayie=utf-8oe=utf-8aq=trls=org.mozilla:en-US:official For Windows XP there seems to be a hotfix, but no available to the public: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/884538 Seems to be a problem with msvcirt.dll Some people on the boards claim that they fixed the problem by uninstalling the Google Toolbar and any other IE toolbars. If I remember correctly the Google Toolbar has been installed as well on that Vista 32-bit machine I got the same error. Here they claim that it is related to the Advanced text services framework which is an optional feature of XP (AFAIK): http://www.winway.com/Main3/support/Resume/RuntimeErr/TermUnusualWay.aspx In Vista it is always included. I don't know about Windows 2003. Unfortunately after googling I did not find a solution yet how to fix or work-around that problem. br, Rainer - Do you use WPKG?

Re: [wpkg-users] Cannot install wpkg on W2k3 Terminal Server
Hi Alan Alan Au wrote: I have tried 1.2-rc6 , but got the same error. :-( so this was a waste of time. Do you have any IE Toolbar like the Google Toolbar installed? According to some Google search results uninstalling the Google Toolbar helped sometimes - however it's not clear to me yet how this could influence WPKG installation. So I am running out of ideas currently. Sorry. This is an issue we have to solve since WPKG client is an essential component. br, Rainer - Do you use WPKG?

Alan Au schrieb: HI, Rainer, I have tried 1.2-rc6 , but got the same error. And one more thing. Could you: 1. Install WPKG Client on another machine (i.e. XP) 2. On Windows 2003, download Dependency Walker from http://www.dependencywalker.com/ 3. Start Dependency Walker, load each WPKG file to see if there are any missing libraries? -- Tomasz Chmielewski http://wpkg.org - Do you use WPKG?
