Hello Andy and others,
unfortunately this is only a "me too" post. Some of my observations trying
to install 822925 on XP Pro SP1 installed in a FAT partition:
It causes the built in (renamed) Admin account to be unusable. It seems to
put all drives in restricted zone, thus each try to run anything from a
shortcut or a program folder causes the MSG "Windows cannot access the
specified device, path or file. You may not have the appropriate permission
to access the item."
I can run explorer from the run command and see in the status bar, that My
Computer shows up as being in the My Computer zone, but all drive letters
(including floppy) show up as being in Restricted sites zone.
Running MMC and opening services gives an error MSG for expanded view aka
"will not be displayed properly, because ActiveX controls are not allowed to
run."
Services run, but no programs (e.g. True Vector loads, but ZA GUI does not
run, as it would need to be started from All Users Autostart.) Very much
looks as if all and everything is in Restricted zone.
Another existing admin account can be used just fine, as well as a normal
user account.
If the weird behavior was occurring in another admin account, I would just
create a new one (a new one created with the patch already installed with
the profile folder in the default location on C: works just fine). But as
it's causing the built in admin account to work no more ..?
tried install with a re-downloaded patch --> makes no difference
tried online install from Windows Update --> makes no difference
So at the moment it looks, as if I can choose between a functional built in
admin account or applying the patch.
I'd appreciate any pointers!
-- Best Regards HiMan
