You are a genius. Thanks a lot.
The only difference on my machine the code under Classes\Installer\Products was different. So i went through all entries and watched out for the Visual Studio entry and renamed that registry-folder entry.
Finally i can repair the installation.
It's incredible how Microsoft-software is full of errors and problems.

I have similar problem. I'm trying to connect to remote Sonicwall VPN router from our corporate network which is behind NETGEAR Firewall/router. I have this error in the SonicWall VPN Client
"The peer is not responding to phase 1 ISAKMP requests."
I've tested the client form another computer that is connected directly to the internet and has real static IP and no firewalls behind. It works perfect. So I concluded that the problem is with NETGEAR's NAT or ... I don't know.

Hi Ken, thanks so much for fixing the link. I really appreciate it. kindest regards, Peter

Pete: yes, since the DLL is written in C++, it has to be rebuilt for Windows 64-bit. I fixed the link in case you want to download it.

Hi Ken,

If you are still trying to use the client through your Sysgate firewall try disabling NAT Traversal in the client!

I deleted the agp440.sys driver as suggested by MS
I ran chkdsk /r as suggested by several bloggers.
My computer will now boot up but I have nothing on my desktop (Icons, toolbars, etc) I have to access my programs and files with MS Task Manager.
I can't access Internet Explorer to download other video drivers.
Any Suggestions.

In this case it seems that 'poor performance' means Perforce being 2-5 times faster almost in everything it does than Subversion.

The solution suggested here didn't work for me, but it made the problem clear to me, so thanks for that.

I have simulated the problem using the debugger, and copied the _tmp.htm file generated bij Visual Studio. Used ieHTTPHeaders to view http header info. Renamed a copy of the _tmp.htm file to .html and looked at the contents. It seemed that these files returned different content. The .html file looked the same as the original file, while the .htm file looked different in the browser than the original file. It seemed that the encoding was different, .Net and IIS handle this differently.

Trying some different approaches I found that adding some code to the custom handler for .htm could eliminate the problem. Here is the part of the code that fixed the problem for me:

context.Response.ContentEncoding = Encoding.GetEncoding(0); //use regional setting ANSI (prevents the problem)
context.Response.WriteFile(url);

So, if you check for _tmp.htm files, and handle them using the above code, your Visual Studio 2003 will be happy again.
(Don't forget to remove the 'vs*_tmp.htm' handler if you tried it.)

Hopefully this will help others, stumbling on the same problem. This solution made me much happier than removing the .htm extension in IIS and adding it back every time.

(I have used Visual Studio 2003 with SP1.)

Steve: no other clues. Other folks had a similar problem on SonicWall's forums, but no one had an answer. I'll chalk it up to crappy programming
I worked around my issue by punching a hole through the SonicWall firewall and setting up a Linux OpenVPN server on the other end of the hole. At least that's a standard IPSEC server

I have a powerware 9120 3000VA and have changed the batteries twice in about a year and half and about to change the third. I am wondering if i could replace the cells with car batteries for a longer backup time. Any ideas ( It has 8 x 12 7AH battery in it) Thank you

Stephen, IIRC, the Tripplite uses relatively small 60mm fans (I opened it up to see what was involved w/ replacing the fans). You can probably replace them w/ thermally controlled quiet fans, but I'm not sure how much quieter you can get w/ relatively small 60mm fans. In the end, I thought the Tripplite was too heavy as well, so I returned it (shipping was $80 and I got it w/ a 10% return charge!).

Comment From Stephen

Stephen — Sat, 12 May 2007 11:03:26 AM -0400

I made the mistake of getting a tripplite SmartOnline Expandable 2U Rack/Tower UPS System SU1500RTXL2Ua and as soon as I heard that fan noise knew it was a mistake.

I needed an online system because the power at my apartment is horrendous. I already have a line interactive, but small power dips make it through the line interactive backup and slowly eat my computers power supply and damaging components.

I've been through one computer and my second one is beginning to behave badly.

I had emailed Tripplite before purchasing about fan noise, of course they never responded and of course I responded without getting an answer and bought one online.

Can I unplug the fan? Can I replace the fan with an Arctic Cooling fan? Or should I just bite the bullet and send it back?

Thank you.

I'm sorry Evan but I do not know how to solve your problem other than either switching the Checkpoint firewall or Sonicwall firewall, to get the VPN to work.

spank:
Go to that AID download link in my blog, download the ISO, and burn it to a DVD. For the MAME ROMs, you can download them and ftp them to your XBox. The person who helped you hack your XBox should be able to help you w/ this as well...

Comment From Evan

Evan — Thu, 8 Mar 2007 09:20:03 AM -0400

We're trying to set up a VPN between our client and us; we have a Sonicwall firewall, they have a Checkpoint one. We've had trouble making this systems get along because of the idiosyncrasies of setting up via these two firewalls. Anyone have any experience making this work?

I had no permission denied errors until I tried running my GreyBeard java server-addin which binds to port 25.
I don't think those variables are read from the notes.ini by the Domino server...

Comment From Martijn de Jong

Martijn de Jong — Fri, 9 Feb 2007 09:14:13 AM -0400

2 things:
- Did you also have the problem with permission denied on a couple of files Domino wanted to change when you start Domino in a terminal window. It was caused by insufficient rights for tunekrnl in the /opt/ibm/lotus/bin dir and it stopped complaing when I chowned that one to root, but I wonder if that's the right approach.
- Why not put DateOrder etc variables in your notes.ini. That's the place they ought to be, isn't it?

Hi... After upgrading from XP Pro SP1 -> SP2 my system started
to crash at apg440.sys. After looking around the web and after
booting in Safe mode found out that if the Networking is selected
it does not reboot. Now like an idiot, I went ahead and edit the Safe boot and selected with minimal networking. And not it stopped booting all together.

Can anyone help me and tell me where I can go and re-set to default values via DOS. As now the system is also not booting from CD does straight to DOS prompt and my C: drive is write protected.
I am stumped.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Manoj

Looking at installing the duo-X 2 mod chip installing a 60gb hd (for mp3s and tv eps/movies ) it will also be linked to network with more space (so thats not an issue there)
The issue is i have younger rellys that use my Xbox and PS2 when im not home my disks always end up scractched , lost broken etc (hence the need for a chip and being able to run dvd back ups )
I keep all my originals locked up safe away from little fingers

So XBMC fits the need for the media player (i know i can install with out the chip but need the chip for the hdrive upgrade)
Wasnt sure if this dash could run dvd backups or normal xbox games or not

so as u have said it will run dvd back ups so i shall start hunting for it cheers
