MS Filter Pack and the Registry Entries

If you download the MS Filter Pack and install it on your indexer (the only place you need it) you’ve still got some registry entries to make/verify. I got tired of doing them by hand so I created a .REG file. You can download my file. Rename it as .REG (I had to change the extension to .TXT to upload it.) Then just double click it. It will make sure the entries are in place. I’d reboot after that just for good measure.

VSeWSS – Please wait while the installer finishes determining your disk space requirements

While trying to install the Visual Studio Extensions for Windows SharePoint Services 1.3 March CTP I got the message “Please wait while the installer finishes determining your disk space requirements” I found a blog post on it where Corey Roth describes how to manually extract the MSI file and install it. This got me to thinking. I moved the CTP from my desktop to the root of the drive and ran it from there — it ran fine. Seems like it might be a path length issue.
