Problem with Project iso image from MSDN subscription and Vist
in [Project]
|
From: hje on 1 Sep 2009 12:04 I am now thoroughly stumped. I did the same search you did and saw the same results with all the Torrent sites and that cab file. I went back into my MSDN subscription and grabbed the SHA1 checksum and compared it to the checksum of the iso that I downloaded from MSDN which was used to burn my DVD. They match. Since I still have access to our department's master MSDN DVD of Project 2007 (Disc 2434.19 from Jan 2008), I took a peak at the Project directories, and could not find the PrfPro.WW\ PrjProww.cab file. However, I did find a slightly different cab file, PrjPror.WW\PrjPrrWW.cab. Doing an Internet search on this cab file resulted in again, hits on torrent sites. Why would this cab file from a master MSDN DVD be affiliated with torrent sites? After my last posting, I tested my iso and not only will my MSDN downloaded iso install on XP, but it will install also on Vista 32 bit. It just won't install on my Vista 64. If there were a problem with my registry, then the install from the master DVD should have also failed. I still keep thinking that something is wrong with the iso image on my MSDN. I have no need for torrent sites since I have a full MSDN subscription. I am worried about my subscription resources. Is there anything else that you can think of that I may have missed?

From: JulieS on 1 Sep 2009 18:13 Hello Heather, Have you tried communicating with the folks at MSDN? As you have a MSDN subscription I'd start with the MSDN Subscription Customer Server Center. http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/subscriptions/downloads/aa948875.aspx I hope this helps.

From: hje on 14 Sep 2009 13:16 Update: Just wanted to pass along, that it has been 7 business days since I sent the folks at MSDN an e-mail. There has been no response. Since I do not have time to pursue it further, I will just keep my fingers crossed that I do not need a re-install of Project before the next version comes out. Hopefully that will remedy my problem! Thanks for the "ear" on this issue!
