Betap4 Posted May 23, 2003 Share Posted May 23, 2003 (edited) i got the intelli mouse software to install using Install shield Developer Trial version. All i did was edit the .MSI file and removed the OS check and the Custom Scripts which Auto detect the mouse and keyboard. And it seems to work fine. i appear to have all the options in the control excpet the battery option were it checks your batter state. Other than that it works fine. I downloaded the version from microsoft and with power arc 8 i extracted the contents to the desktop the i edited the .MSI file and installed it. You have to run the .MSI in the Directory it is in because the other setup routines check the os also. I used Virtual pc to check it and it works.

Slacker Posted May 24, 2003 Share Posted May 24, 2003 Will the scanner and camera wizard run on Win2003? I've tried finging it, but it's either been omitted, or I'm overlooking it. If it has been omitted, can it be brought from Win XP? I'm not sure about what files are required. I prefer the camera Wizard to the software that comes with my camera Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PorscheGT Posted May 25, 2003 Share Posted May 25, 2003 I am using Windows Server 2003 now. To be a Server OS, Windows Server 2003 doesn't need more function but to be simple and fast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slacker Posted May 26, 2003 Share Posted May 26, 2003 ya, WMI does work... I wasn't specific enough. I'm meaning the camera and scanner wizard. I cant' get ti to fire up if it's even there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slacker Posted May 26, 2003 Share Posted May 26, 2003 Sorry, I was speaking too general. I mean, really, that I can't get the camera and scanner wizard to fire up if it even exists in 2003. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slacker Posted May 26, 2003 Share Posted May 26, 2003 Alright, I keep trying to run wiaacmgr.exe to coax the computer into running thr Camera/Scanner wizard. When I win the program it says that no device can be found. Yes, the camera is connected to the computer and is on. This works fine on Win XP, on the same computer, but won't run on this Win 2003 computer. Any ideas, or might this be a limitation of the OS being designed for servers and not for general use?

Slacker Posted May 26, 2003 Share Posted May 26, 2003 that's what I was guessing, but I was hoping that if the wizard was there, it might actually be used for something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MORE INFORMATION To install Plus! for Windows XP, type the following command at a command prompt, where path is the path to the root of the Plus! for Windows XP installation source: msiexec.exe /qn+ /i "\path\Microsoft Plus! for Windows XP.msi" For example, if you are installing Plus! for Windows XP from CD-ROM drive D, type: msiexec.exe /qn+ /i "D:\Microsoft Plus! for Windows XP.msi" You receive a message that states whether or not the installation was successful shortly after you issue the command.

Slacker Posted May 28, 2003 Share Posted May 28, 2003 I think that the document at the beginning of the thread shows that Windows Messenger needs to be installed, ant that TweakUI is also no available, though alternatives are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
