Error in Wowvdm When Installing FrontPage Server Extensions

ID: Q223336


The information in this article applies to:
  • Microsoft FrontPage 98 for Windows


SYMPTOMS

When you install the FrontPage Server Extensions to a computer running Windows NT Server 4.0, the following error occurs:

Hidden console of wowvdm
C:\Temp\. A temporary file needed for initialization could not be created or could not be written to. Make sure that the directory path exists and disk space is available. Choose Close to terminate the application


CAUSE

The Temp directory does not exist or does not have sufficient permissions, or there is not enough hard disk space available.


RESOLUTION

Verify that the C:\Temp directory exists, and the Everybody group has full control of the folder. Free between 10-15 megabytes of hard drive space on the drive that contains the Program Files folder. (You will need more if your html content is stored on the same drive.)
