From: vcarroll on 11 Oct 2006 18:25 I just installed the B2TR using the slipstream method on a Windows 2003 box. It installed successfully and the configuration wizard went off without a hitch. When I logged into the Central admin, I started to complete the tasks listed in the configuration steps. When I got to setting up the 'Services on the Server', I was able to start all of them except Office Sharepoint Server Search. After I configure it and hit 'Start', I receive the following error: An unhandled exception occurred in the user interface.Exception Information: Value cannot be null. Parameter name: path Everything else seems to have started fine, except this. Any ideas on what I can do to fix or get around this. We cannot begin to use 2007 until I get this figured out. Tx, Virgil
From: Engelbert on 12 Oct 2006 01:25 Did you stop the Search Service as part of your B2TR installation (which I presume as you posted here was MOSS 2007?) and did you do this as described ? Did you remove the registry key if creating on a DC ?

From: John on 14 Oct 2006 11:58 I am having the exact same issue. I am not installed on a DC and there is no Officer Search Service to shutdown.

Yes, apologies. Turning the Search Service off is for non-slipstream installs from Beta2 to Beta2TR. I wrote my reply rather too automatically. On slipstream installs I usually ask if the Steve Smith install documentation was followed (assuming MOSS 2007 - Joris Poelmans' documentation for WSSv3) or the Microsoft documentation. The MS documentation has errors - whether they cause this particular problem is unknown to me though.
