As a follow-up to my message, I installed the beta using "user" privileges without a problem. When run, the system ran in demonstration mode, but was fine otherwise. After uninstalling, I reinstalled using system privileges (local system account, not administrator). This installed without problem, and found the network license without a problem. +-------------------------------------------+ | Michael Surato | | Resource Center for Persons | | with Disabilities | | Michigan State University | | 120 Bessey Hall | | East Lansing, MI 48824 | | Voice: (517) 353-9643 Fax: (517) 432-3191 | +-------------------------------------------+ > -----Original Message----- > From: duxhelp-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx > [mailto:duxhelp-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Michael Surato > Sent: Thursday, April 13, 2006 9:28 AM > To: duxhelp@xxxxxxxxxxxxx > Subject: [duxhelp] Windows Installer Warnings > > Hi, > > As part of stress testing the latest beta I ran the MSI > through a validator.
