Hi Friedrich (or anyone else)

I've got an install program which keeps looping over the same bit.

Basically, its trying to download a patch from MS, it fails with errorcode
259 and Returncode 1 or -1 which isnt too important at this stage as I
suspect those errorcodes are something to do with ISA Server being rather
tightly locked down, but is there anyway I can stop it from looping over the
same code and stop the installer from running so they can gain access to
their server desktop?

I've tried all sorts but the companies owner wanted to go home by 7pm
tonight so I've just got back dialled remotely into their server to try
again to fix it but so far no joy and no ideas came to mind on the way
home.<g>

Before I left them I looked in the registry under all the run and runonce
instances I could find looking for a call to relaunch the installer but cant
find anything thats telling windows to restart the installer after logging
back in to the server. So I must be looking in the wrong place.<g>

I've compiled the installer this morning using SB7.1 2842 if that matters as
well.

Fortunately I've been able to blag it a bit by shifting focus and probable
cause on to their H/W support company so they have allowed me to carry on
and rectify the problem and they gave me permission to dial in remotely to
their server as well which is helpful, but ideally I'd like to be able to
say in the morning its all fixed.

The OS is Server 2003 and as I discovered their H/W company hadnt been
carrying out updates on their machines either so I'm wondering if this might
have been a factor in the installer getting stuck in a loop.

So any ideas greatly appreciated, I'm going to carryon poking around here to
see if I can break the loop in the mean time and get it all fixed.<g>

Cheers

Richard
