Noncritical Error Opening RPLSVC.MDB for Remoteboot Service

• Microsoft Windows NT Server version 3.5

SYMPTOMS

When you install the Remoteboot Service from the Windows NT Server version 3.5 CD, the following error message appears:

   Noncritical Error
   An error has occurred.
   Unable to open the file x:\i386\rplsvc.mdb

   A non-critical error has occurred. You may try the operation,
   ignore it, or exit the entire Setup operation.

CAUSE

There are three prompts during the installation procedure for the administrator to enter paths for Remoteboot files. The third prompt requests the path for the Remoteboot Client files; the default path is incorrect. Accepting the default path results in the error referenced above.

To avoid the error message noted above, change the path to <drive>:\CLIENTS\RPL (where <drive> is the drive with the Remoteboot installation files).

WORKAROUND

To work around this problem:

1. Exit Setup

2. Reinstall the Remoteboot program.

3. When you are prompted to enter the path for the Remoteboot Client files, type the following

         <drive>:\Clients\Rpl
   

   where <drive> is CD-ROM drive.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Windows NT version 3.5. We are researching this problem and will post new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.
