Error: Cannot find windows version tag file

[craig.miller]

I'm trying to use XPCReate with Windows Small Business Server 2003 and I recieve the error, "Cannot find windows version tag file".

This wasn't listed as a known issue, an FAQ, or mentioned in the docs. Is there a way around this? I don't need hotfixes, or anything else except the Escalade 7000 RAID drivers, so if I disable any of the other automatic features it won't affect my install requirements.

Thanks for the help.

Welcome to MSFN craig.miller

Are you using a evaluation version of some sort?

If so, this may be the case - someone else has had the same error message in a previous post but havent got the link handy i'm afraid.

Good luck,

It's not a beta AFAIK.

SBS has always been a bit of a mish-mash of products though, so it's not really a suprise that it wasn't recognised. If you are ONLY using XPCREATE to integrate drivers, then you might also want to check out nLite. I have a feeling it won't support it, but it doesn't hurt to try.

Welcome to MSFN, craig.miller!

I'll have to get a copy of SBS, and take a look. XPCREATE searches for PRODSPEC.INI to determine the Windows flavor. This file is included on all the other Windows versions. Strange that it was left out here.

As soon as I get a copy, I'll update this thread. In the meantime, you could search the CD for PRODSPEC.INI, and post back your findings.

Thanks

Whoopsy....

I did indeed misread the Small Business Edition bit

Sorry,

I still find it strange that PRODSPEC.INI can't be found ... I'll look into it as soon as I dig out my SBS copy.
