Note This is not an exhaustive list, but includes the known applications that
cannot be installed to a SunFSD at this time.
Note If you are running Windows XP Professional, the installation of these
software applications must be on the SunPCi III emulated drive.
Upgrading to Microsoft FrontPage 2002 Fails if FrontPage
2000 Installed on SunFSD
On Windows XP Professional and Windows 2000, if you are upgrading FrontPage
2000 to FrontPage 2002 while using a SunFSD drive, the upgrade fails.
To avoid this problem in Windows 2000, uninstall and remove the older version of
FrontPage and then do a fresh full installation of FrontPage 2002 to a file system
drive.
To avoid this problem in Windows XP, uninstall and remove the older version of
FrontPage and then do a fresh full installation of FrontPage 2002 to the emulated
drive. A fresh installation of FrontPage 2002 fails when installing to a file system
drive using Windows XP and must be installed to the emulated drive.
Microsoft Office XP Installation and SunFSD on Windows
2000 Professional
In Windows 2000 Professional, Microsoft Office XP fails if it is installed to a SunFSD
or a Samba drive, in which any of the directories in the path are longer than the DOS
8.3 format. For example, Office XP fails if you install it to the directory
\longpathname\name1\name2, but it works if you install it to \shortnme\
name1\name2.
There are two workarounds for this problem:
Install Office XP to an emulated drive.
Make sure that the path name on a SunFSD or Samba drive contains only short
names (eight characters or fewer).
