Solution (at least for some)
__________________________All, we were able to successfully troubleshoot this issue for one of the clients. The problem was that "Start Menu"
Junction Point in the C:\ProgramData folder was
not working. To check whether this is your problem, open Windows Explorer window, paste
C:\ProgramData\Start Menu\Programs in the address bar and hit Enter. If you got an error message, then you are experiencing the same issue and the fix is below. If not, please post here, and we'll continue working on the problem.
To fix the issue, please
download this archive, unzip and save the BAT file on your Vista system, right-click the BAT file and click Run As Administrator. After that navigate to the
C:\ProgramData\Start Menu\Programs again and see if it's OK now. If it is, try
installing UltiDev Cassini again.
If not, you may need to do a couple more manual steps:
- Go to C:\ProgramData, and use Tools | Folder Options -> View tab, to uncheck "Hide protected operating system files". This should result in quite a few junction points (links) to be shown.
- Right-click the "Start Menu" link/JP and then do Properties -> Security tab -> Edit button.
- Select Administrators in the top list and check "Full Control" box in Allow column of the Permissions section. Click OK as many time as it will be necessary, then run the BAT (as administrator) again and check whether you can get to the C:\ProgramData\Start Menu\Programs. If you can, then try installing UltiDev Cassini Web Server again.
