I have seen this happen a couple of times, and it's because the detection code in the installer is not working as it's supposed to. It's based on an environment variable :-) Log in using /console, start a cmd.exe prompt, run "set SESSIONNAME=Console", and then start the installer. That should help. I've added a tracker for this to the foundry page - this needs a fix. //Magnus ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 8: explain analyze is your friend
