Guys:
I spoke with Jim about this. It really was acting like it could not access
the .cfg file. We got it to work by using UNC names for the target and
start-in path names. I can't explain why using a mapped drive letter would
not work. Here are the details:
- Target and Start-in are the same. They reside on an XP Pro machine acting
as a server.
- Node is W98 SE
- K: on the node is mapped to C:\Comet on the server.
The mapping must be set up correctly or else it wouldn't be able to find the
executables.
One other thing... His shortcut was referencing Cosw.exe. I had him change
it to Comet.exe and he got an error msg indicating that something was
"unsupported". He didn't write the msg down. Does Comet.exe run on W98 SE?
