NT 4.0 Upgrade Blues

I recently istalled NT 4.0 Build 1234 over an existing NT 3.51 installation.
The existing installation was running with SP2 the NewShell, and the Exchange
Client beta, with the Internet Mail transport from the '95 Internet Explorer.
Before installing NT 4.0, I removed the NewShell as specified in the release
notes.
The main part of the installation worked fine, but I have encountered problems
trying to install the new exchange client. All the files appear to have been
copied across fine, but when the intsall process starts updating the registry
(at least, I think thats where it falls over), I get the following error
message:
An exception occured while trying to run "GCC 4 C:\WIN-NT\gcc.inf"
I've gone through the gcc.inf and msmail.inf files, and I have set up all of the
registry entries and the mapisvc.inf file that I believe need to be set up. I
noticed that a number of the mapisvc.inf referred to files such as msfs.dll
instead of msfs32.dll... I changed these as appeared to be appropriate.
As a result, Exchange now works, but whenever I try and access an email which
has arrived via the Internet Mail transport, the following message occurs:
The item could not be displayed. The object could not be found.
Launching the default form instead.
Does anybody know a solution to my woes?
Regards.
Lee

I have had several problems. One that I just got stung with is that I cannot use any of the printing wizards in MS Access 7.0.

Heh, your doing better than myself. I've been trying to review the
damn thing and found it "less than easy" to install thus far.
Problems ranging from, blue screen, and a single message stating
"Fault - see your hardware manufacturer" and getting the whole thing
installed, then blue screening on the final "saving configuration"
stage! I tend to think this is a problem with the hardware.... A
Digital Celebris of sorts, Who ordered this damn machine!!! Don't buy
propriety, they are _always_ a hassle.
Nick.

Check out the release notes that came with NT40b1. MS Access has some known issues running under NT40b1. Lance John Kitsmiller wrote: > > I have had several problems.

Hmmm. I found that the beta installed OK with a VGA card in but now I've installed a Matrox Impression, NTVDM keeps crashing... I'll try and get some comms to work later. J/. -- John Beardmore

Matrox tech support told me that I'd have to wait until 4.0 came out of beta. I'm running MSVC 4.1 with vga drivers and it's horrible ! Maybe there is support for the Millenium but not the Impression ? Cheers, J/. -- John Beardmore
