E.R.D.--w2k

[tlarson1]

When I installed w2k I made an E.R.D.
Then down the road after adding SP1, I had to use the E.R.D. and I saw that it had to repair a lot of files.
I thought this was great...until it restarted. I found a lot of SP1 files had been replaced with the original files, causing the prompt "MSOE.DLL could not be loaded".
You know what that means!!

You need to create another ERD after you have applied SP1. What the ERD contains is a list of which files and versions were installed at the time of ERD creation. The repair process will then prompt you for the Win2K CD and replace all those found on the system with the versions matching the contents of the ERD files.

Thanks andy, I wasn't clear on that....t

Technically, yer prolly s'posed to redo the ERD whenever you make a major OS update/change or hardware change.

Thanks for the help guys. Updating the edr is what I forgot to do, so when that horrible prompt "MSOE.DLL could not be loaded" came up, I knew I was screwed....t

I had to use the ERD on my system a few weeks back. Didn't work. Had to reinstall. I even update the think whenever I install a new program.
