This is what I received:
So, onto the log file as indicated in the error:
There is a lot there. A few key words about admin rights in there caught my eye.
I am a local admin on this machine, but it may be asking for more rights than I currently have.
So, I logged off, logged back in as the domain administrator, and voila, the setup completes!
It is now installed. While I was at it, I installed the UNC add-in for networked drive search, and the Outlook Saved Mail add-in.
So far, it seems to have a similar functionality as the search feature built into Vista.
Downloads are available here:
Windows Desktop Search 3.0 for XP
Windows Desktop Search 3.0 for Server 2003
Windows Desktop Search: Add-in for Files on Microsoft Networks
Windows Desktop Search: Add-in for Outlook saved mail (.msg file) indexing
And finally, you can browse the search results for Windows Desktop Search on Microsoft's download site here.

hi, if you want to have a fast search tool for Outlook, you also could try Lookeen. this tool is faster and better than WDS.
ReplyDeleteAnd it does not produce errors on install :)

A,
ReplyDeleteFor production environments we try to limit any third party involvement as much as possible.
In the long run this leads to a similar setup across all networks supported making troubleshooting stability issues that much easier to do.
Thanks for the comment,

"For production environments we try to limit any third party involvement as much as possible"...I really can't understand this point. I work in the IT business and in my opinion, you should collect these progs, which work out fine together. it isn't proved, that these progs should be from the same publisher.
ReplyDeletewe also work with lookeen (which is according to popular apprehension a really nice search tool) and we search as comfortable as never before. it dosent't interfere with no other application...so there is obviously no problem :)
