Hi Volks, Hi nuhi!

The Story:

I installed my copy of Vista about six months ago using an image slipstreamed with SP1 and a few other modifications - including the removal of the Windows Indexing Service. Now I changed my mind (don't ask ) and urging for the indexer.

The Question:

Is there any way for (re)installing the Windows Indexing Service on a Vista Machine when it was setup with an vlited image without it?

God damnit!!

I thought it was just necessary to copy %SYSTEMROOT%\System32\Search*.* (that's 3 files I'm apparently missing) and register the service. What problems do you think I'll encounter? Reinstalling the whole software is not really an option since it is a productive machine usually running 24/7.

Any ideas? I'd appreciate any suggestion.

cheers, Swordfish
