More install Problems

[Anonymous]

Everything was working fine not that long ago but now: I have created an admin image and applied the patch at this time. No no matter where I place the admin imkage I get a message saying I need to shorten the path. this installs to H:\Misc I can't get much shorter than that. So instead of the shortcut I have just been double clicking the MSI file. Everyhting installs fine but I can't get it to authorize. I have LDD 2004 and CD 2004 both authorized. Thanks for any help, Conan Witzel

Are you moving the Admin image by hand to the new location? I believe this doesn't work and was a problem discovered by QA, which I am not sure it was documented in the readme. There is a previous thread in the newsgroup with the title "Service Pack 1 Network Install problems" where Matt, one of our QA engineers, describes step by step the process of applying SP1 to an Admin image. You may want to take a look at that thread. Also, you may want to try to create a new admin image from scratch and applying the patch to it.
