WinHlp32.exe, which is used to run .hlp files, is no longer installed as part of Vista. You will get a message "Failed to launch help". (See http://support.microsoft.com/kb/917607#appliesto) Users can download an update to install it to run old .hlp files, but Microsoft does not allow it to be redistributed by 3rd party software. The update is available at: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?displaylang=en &familyid=6ebcfad9-d3f5-4365-8070-334cd175d4bb 4.2 MSDE named instances may not be visible in WinCC, with only the default instance shown. If you set the “DISABLENETWORKPROTOCOLS=0” parameter during the MSDE installation, then WinCC should be able to browse named instances. 4.3 If a retention name is created with 11 characters or less, it is ok. But if it created with 12 or more, you will get an error "Retention X no longer exists." Note: WebCC allows up to 32 characters correctly. 4.4 SQL2005 database names cannot contain characters such as \ (backslash) and : (colon). They are not visible or selectable via CC in the SQL plug-in backup selection list. The database names can manually be added to the task configuration (.vvc) file. 4.5 Some vpr files are still created as Jobname#.vpr. The naming convention used when doing cross catalog (range of safeset) restores is Jobname_safeset#.vpr. 4.6 Setting restore to "Restore Data Streams Only" will result in restoring all data streams. "Ignore alternate data streams" is always set to "No". Alternate data streams are restored. 4.7 WinCC error messages during restore from another computer using same safeset: "Connection to the Vault is not using encryption" and "Failed to create ynchronize log file" in VVAgent-*.Xlog, and: “SSET-I-4748 Connection to the Vault is using AES encryption" in BUAgent-*.Xlog. ___________________________________________________________ =========================================================== 5 INSTALLATION NOTES 5.1 Installation Requirements The installation requirements for the CentralControl program are as follows: Hardware -------- * CPU and RAM - Should meet the basic requirement of your Operating System, as prescribed by Microsoft. * Video properties of 16-bit (or greater) for optimum GUI display. * At least 10MB of available disk space.
