RE: Windows 2000 Professional and CF Server 4.0.1
Well, I'm not much of an win person... but doesn't the installer keep a log of all system changes made? I mean, an installer can't do anything you can't do by hand. Try exporting the applicable registry tree from the NT4 system, copying any dlls required into the system directory on the 2k system, then do a straight file copy (if you need to make any reg changes for differing drives do so). I'm not sure exactly what's changed between the NT versions that would effect CF, but the system libraries may be newer and slightly (or completely) incompatible versions that effect the functionality of certain tags. If your time and lack of newer features is worth the money you might save, might as well give it a try. -Original Message- From: Jim McAtee [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: January 31, 2001 14:12 To: CF-Talk Subject: Re: Windows 2000 Professional and CF Server 4.0.1 Zac, Thanks.

The problem with CF 4.0.1 on Win2K is that it breaks some MDAC components. You won't notice using ODBC from CF, but will if you try to write ASP code. You can easily fix this by downloading and installing MDAC 2.6. Enjoy!

-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 4.0.1 works great provided it was there before Win2k. If you do NT4, CF, then upgrade to Win2k, you should be okay. Basically 4.0.1 works fine under 2k, but the installer is brain dead. Rather than patch the installer, Allaire would rather you run out & spend on their new version. Big surprise... I've got a machine running 4.0.1 w/ Win2k Server w/ no problems what so ever.

I'd still be interested in whether anyone's got a stable workaround. In general, Allaire support isn't something I use. I'm warming up to Windows 2000 - Windows 2000 Pro on workstations is great - now we're getting ready to take the plunge with our servers. CF 4.5, however, is something I don't need.
