Troubles with Windows Home Server Connector on XP
So I've got Windows Home Server running and I've got my Vista installation connected to it. My computer dual boots Vista/XP. I wanted to join with both of my installations so that I can take advantage of the Home Server features no matter which way I've got it running.
When I look at the files for the Windows Home Server Connector software, I see:
When I try to run the Autorun from the CD, it runs Setup.exe as expected. However, what is not expected is this:
I'm not sure what that's supposed to tell me, but I have both .NET Framework 2.0 and Windows Installer 3.1 (or better) installed, so I don't have to worry about the prerequisites and should be able to skip the Setup.exe in favor of the MSI file.
I guess not ...
I read something on the Windows Home Server support pages about how the connector will detect, I don't know, fraud or something. Does the Windows Home Server Connector app realize that I've connected from this machine (different computer name, different OS, different hard drive, same IP Address) and thinks that this attempt is an attempt to hack the network or something?
