All: I'm having an odd issue with XmlFile on a machine running Windows2003 Enterprise... The machine has an Intel Woodcrest/Greencreek chipset and is running a RAID as C:\ (although the machine also has a D:\ which this also happens on). I mention these because I have no rational explanation for what it's doing...
My install proceeds as normal until the ExecXmlFile custom action gets fired off. At that point, a dialog box pops up with the following error: Failed to open XML file C:\Program Files\Verari Systems\VCC\OSMon\config\vcc.conf, system error: -214704786 I've seen the system error before, and I believe it means that the file doesn't exist. However, I used Explorer to browse to the file location and the file is indeed there and has the proper contents. Also, Orca shows that ExecXmlFile is sequenced at the tail end of the InstallExecuteSequence, so I don't believe that it's trying to open a file that hasn't been written to disk yet. The most bizarre bit is that it's only one specific type of machine that I'm having a problem with (a server that we manufacture)... I have had no issues with regular PC-type machines, or with a different type of server machine running the exact same OS... It's quite puzzling to me. Is there anything interesting or unique about the way that ExecXmlFile opens the XML file that might fail on exotic hardware? -- -- Eric Fesh Customer Support Engineer/Software Test Engineer Verari Systems Software, Inc. 110 12th Street North, Suite D103 Birmingham, AL 35203 Phone +1-205-397-3141 ext. 3149 Fax +1-205-397-3142 [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.verarisoft.com/ The information contained in this communication may be confidential and is intended only for the use of the recipient(s) named above.
