Sharing some tribal knowlege

Hey guys,

Two totally unrelated things, but both bits of tribal knowledge that you may find useful.

If you get a 1722 error when installing something on Windows XP/Vista

I got one of these when trying to setup a Logitech QuickCam Pro webcam. I believe 1722 is a generic Installshield error, so you can get one of these in other cases as well. It seems like you get this error when certain DLLs are not properly registered. If you run regsvr32 on the DLLs listed below:

Start-->Run-->regsvr32 urlmon.dll
Start-->Run-->regsvr32 Shdocvw.dll
Start-->Run-->regsvr32 Msjava.dll
Start-->Run-->regsvr32 Actxprxy.dll
Start-->Run-->regsvr32 Oleaut32.dll
Start-->Run-->regsvr32 Mshtml.dll
Start-->Run-->regsvr32 Browseui.dll
Start-->Run-->regsvr32 Shell32.dll

These were taken from this post (http://forum.java.sun.com/thread.jspa?threadID=553785). If you don't have some of these DLLs that is probably OK. If this still doesn't work, do the same thing for vbscript.dll.

If you start up a VM in Hyper-V and that VM cannot connect to the network

In the Hyper-V manager, select your VM, right-click and choose settings. In the resulting dialog box, go to the Add Hardware section (this is probably selected for you by default) and choose to add the Legacy Network Adapter (you will have to shutdown your VM first). Doing this should enable networking in your VM.

Thanks!

Eric.
