Re: What does %WinDir% mean?
Thanks! It was CMD vs COMMAND in the DOS window. CMD translates %windir%. COMMAND does not. "VanguardLH" <V@nguard.LH> wrote in message news:hbrnkl$100$1@news.albasani.net... > Laurel wrote: > >> see below >> >> "VanguardLH" <V@nguard.LH> wrote in message >> news:hboh1q$8bs$1@news.albasani.net ...

Re: rundll32 problem
Duh. Earlier in the process I'd had to resort to safe mode, as the article suggests. I just didn't think of it again when I hit this snag. Safe mode solved it.

Re: What is the tilde for?
Ah. Thanks. The absence of the tilde file suggests that my re-creation of the COM+ catalogue worked. And, in general, now I understand a bit about the tilde.

What is the tilde for?
In various MS articles the user is advised to rename clbcatq.dll to ~clbcatq.dll. The importance of the tilde is stressed. What is the purpose of the tilde? If I search Goolge for "~clbcatq.dll" the only hits I get are without the tilde. (What's with Google and quotes???). After I performed the ...

rundll32 problem
I've executed the steps in MS article 315296, "How to clean up a damaged COM+ catalog." The last step seems to just hang. I enter this at a command prompt: Rundll32 c:\windows\system32\inetsrv\wamreg.dll, CreateIISPackage. It does nothing for 30 minutes or more. How long should I wait? Is there a ...

Re: What does %WinDir% mean?
Interesting. I think the other folks probably gave me what I needed for my original question, but I'd like to know more about set|more. I tried it, but found no environment variable associated with WINDIR. The last entries in the alphabetized list were for SYSTEMROOT,TEMP,TMP,USERDNSDOMAIN ...

What does %WinDir% mean?
I got the following instructions from an MS web page for cleaning up the COM+ registry. I don't understand the %Windir% convention. Can I do this rename via Windows explorer? Which directory are they talking about? 1.. Rename the %WinDir%\System32\clbcatq.dll file to %WinDir%\System32\~clbcatq.dll ...
