That error above is odd !

I just tested the tool again from a regular R2 and do not get such error. Also R2Conv3 does not need .Net to run ! Why would we issue a tool that has feature to install .Net on R2 as halladayrules explains if it requires .Net to work !?!?!?

In anyway, there is a new update for R2Conv3 available with SPP pack for SysWOW64, Sys Restore fixes and WMP plugin for FF (TY for the fixes halladayrules )

1st post updated.

Awesome!!!

Wow, the new Microsoft Server Converter is really a great tool!

Nice to have a light-weight tool now which downloads only the necessary files, and also always the latest versions of these files.

Keep up the good work, Neige & Horsemen team!

I'm currently stuck (or stupid -- haven't decided which yet).

• Installed MSC_OnlineInstaller.exe.
• Ran "Update Microsoft Server Converter"

Then got to this screen/state:


But after I click "Ok", it just sits there. Also after I click "Exit Update Utility" it just quits. When I run "R2ConvGUI.exe" it says "Microsoft Server Converter initialization has failed."

I never get to:


(Also, R2ConvGUI.exe gave a different error (e.g. missing R2Conv_2012xxxxx.log) before I created the Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Server Converter\r2conv\logs folder.)

So, what am I missing?

Good question.

On whatever R2 platform (FOUND, STD, ENT, DATA or WEB) I test, I am not able to get that error.... ?!?

It seems install is not complete if you had to create folder for logs.

Uninstall it please fully, remove even folder if still there, get this version and install it and don't run it please :



Then copy files to appropriate folder from this pack do not update it yet :



Then get UpdateUtilPatch.zip from 1st post and copy files to C:\Program Files (x86)\R2 Workstation Converter.

Run update, run R2Conv3 and see what happens.

As I said I am not able to reproduce your error and no one has reported such bug yet.

Also should the error appear again, do not use my screenshots but yours with errors please. It's like sending to the doctor your dog when you are ill......

Keep us informed please.

True, except your screenshots are exactly the same as mine. (Minus the one that didn't show up.)

I'll give it a shot, let you know in a few hours (when I get it done).

OK.

Also, no need to remind you that you need to be admin to install and run app.

It will not work if you are Standard User.....

N

You mean login as "admin" or just "run as admin"is enough?
Thank you

Well it's better to install under Administrator user and run it all from there.

If other user it must be admin and not standard user.
