Re: Asking for RIS 2.0 patch under Windows XP

I ran into this problem 2 weeks ago when trying to deploy a new software
image to 2 of my labs at work.  The installs in the two build images
both worked the first time and then started giving the error mentioned
below.  So far as I have been able to tell it is not a file permissions
or registry related problem.  Once in this state even uninstalling and
reinstalling does not seem to help.  These images were built from
scratch and have all available MS updates installed.

Since I needed the Mindstorms software up and running asap I abandoned
the image and manually installed the software on 14 machines in one of
the labs.  Every machine worked flawlessly every time they were used
throughout a 3 day camp.  Most of the machines only had SP2 installed
but two had SP3 and all critical updates installed.

When installing the Mindstorms software I installed both the tower patch
and the hyperthreading patch.

I plan to investigate this more as I need to still go back and fix my
two build images.  So far I have not found anything on the net about it.
  If anyone finds something please post it in this thread (where I will
also post anything I find).

I have probably the same problem? Get the error message:

I think a Windows update patch has done the thing, since it used to run on one
of my XP pc's but suddenly stopped working and I now get the same error when
installed it on another pc.

I hope LEGO realizes that it is not fair nor acceptable to their customers if
they abandon RCX support in the future - taking the huge installed base into
consideration

Dear All,

I have probelm to excute RIS 2.0 that enclosed with original package under
Windows XP system. On the other hand, I found one patch on Lego officical
site, but it doesn't work when I installed it. And, seems that patch is not
for that purpose.

Can anyone help me to this issue? Either tell where I can download the
proper patch or full installer?

You reply would be much appreciated & great thanks!
