folders w/ word docs in them just fine. But the folder
w/ the app data I cant see. It's shared w/ everyone and
full control.

How long is the share name, and can the XP clients see it? Win9x can't see
share names longer than 13 characters, I believe.

cant see it.

Logging in as admin on a Win98 machine doesn't really mean anything.....

On a possibly related note.
I get the message when installing the app for that data
on a workstation. Even as logged in as admin.
"The installshield wizard(ikernel) could not be installed.
Ikernel.exe could not be copied to C:\program
files\commonfiles\installshield\engine\6\intel32
Make sure you have appropriate priveleges to copy to this
folder. (0x5)" |
