The saga continues.
1. Down loaded the August CPT release from MSDN.
2. Ran the hash checks on it using EF Commander. (A nifty tool, but its bug
the user to buy now technique is unspeakably rude.)
3. Tried upgrading running setup within Vista. No matter what I did i got
can't continue file is corrupted or missing etc. The error number was
80070247. Same as with the July MSDN issued cd-rom. (I used ISOBuster to
break things out.)
4. Stuck my nick out and did an over write install using the DVD I had burnt
from a cold start boot. It worked wonderfully. The most amaing part is that
it took no time at all to load the files. Apparently it found what it needed
on my hard drive somewhere and somehow. MOST IMPRESSIVE Microsoft.

And I'm a happy camper because WebMail appears to be working. The only thing
it ever did right on the July release was download newsgroup headers. (See
vista.mail for my gripes on that subject.)

I'm a very happy camper this evening.

Now if I could only understand how Share Point Services mungs up access to
existing stuff in the Default Web Site ... if I could only get VSTSFS
running ... if I could make up my mind what to do with the two PC's that are
in pieces one of which is my backup enterprise server ... if I could find
the time to take care of ...

Yes I'm shouting:-)

There are lots of postings on what to do about the subject error, except
all
the do is say to be more careful about creating media, or words to that
effect.

I'm using the July 2006 MDSN DVD.

It got substantially into the build so I assume that things are
fundamentally correct i.e. it can read from the harddrive and write to the
disk drive and then I got the subject error.

More than that I can't say because this is a native install. I wiped out
the
existing system and reformatted so without a whole bunch of effort I can't
even tell you about the box, except that it was running SBS 2003
satisfactorily when i reformatted.

Suggestions please. Like who do I call to ship me new media and a wizzrd
with the correct words - xyzzy won't hack it - to make it work.
