From: Travis on 19 Nov 2009 07:48 This worked like a charm for me, too! Anders, you're a Scandinavian genius! Now why hasn't Microsoft put something like this in their Knowledge Base? I've been looking high & low for 3 days trying to track this down; thank God I just happened to notice that I couldn't install TCP/IP 6 as well, but my main concern was the Peer-to-Peer component in Windows Networking. Many, many thanks! "anders.tornkvist(a)gmail.com" wrote: Hi, I had the same problem. I'm running Win XP (Pro) SP2. I fixed it by enter the following command in the command prompt: esentutl /p %windir%\security\Database\secedit.sdb After that, installation of TCP/IP Version 6 worked fine. Hope it will help someone, Anders

Hi XP was released in 2001, At the time IPv6 was not a part of any mainstream system. E.g. Can you easily install new electronics gadgetry on a Car circa 2001. Yes, if you are an avid self doer. No if you just go to the Dealer. Jack (MS, MVP-Networking).
