Re: ISC installation problems
While I'm in violent agreement with Mark, the "cold robies" sent me to google. Turns out that most people spell it "cold robbies", another phrase I'd never heard or, rather, presumed that I misheard the speaker. Thanks, Mark.

Re: ISC installation problems
I just installed this yesterday. Make sure you reboot once ISC is installed or verify the service is actually running. For some reason the service was being a little wonky with us and it was stopping when I logged out. I think perhaps the service isn't running and perhaps the installation is failing as a result. Just an idea. On 9/8/06, John Monahan <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: A couple of other suggestions. Make sure the machine where you are installing ISC has internet access and DNS working.

Re: ISC installation problems
The c: drive for both servers was over 10GB in size and had 80% of that free before the installation, so I think I'm good. I did cleanup vpd.properties and all the files in TEMP and in Program Files after each install. I am goning to try again on another system. The fact that it stopped with the same symptoms on both servers points to a packaging problem I think. I'll redownload the files...

Re: ISC installation problems
As the readme says, ISC must be installed before AC, but I read somewhere that you can install AC without ISC. Is this the case? >>No. FWIW, we have successfully installed ISC 6.01 on Win2K3 before. 1 GB of ram should be enough; check also to see there is enough of free disk space, the ISC is huge. You may need to call support to find out what that errors mean.
