Arrighty...
I started this last night, but then got an invite to a great little downtown mexican restaurant... You understand.
I tried to reload again, and this time I pulled the HPC out of the cradle and did a soft reset, only to have the cab file disappear. Nice.
I did a complete unistall again then tried again.
This time I went ahead and put the file in the windows directory, thinking that perhaps putting it on the CF had something to do with it. It did the same thing.
I uninstalled then reinstalled again, back to the CF, this time simply undocking, waiting for the icons to clear, and then starting the cab. Same thing.
After uninstalling and reloading again, I took a long slow look at the events. Before undocking, I pressed OK, then waited for the error, then undocked. The error message is:
File in use.
The file "\Windows\MFCCE20.DLL" is in use or is in ROM. IF the file is not in ROM, please close the application using the file.
Try again?
Yes No Cancel
Trying yes, docked or undocked, just brings the error message again, even after the 'connected' tray icon goes away.
Trying No gives a different error message, which is;
File Cannot Be Skipped
The file "\Windows\MFCCE20.DLL" must be copied for the application to work correctly. Try copying again?
The only options here are OK or the close dialog button. Pressing OK goes back to the previous 'File In Use' error. Pressing Cancel in the File In USe dialog or the close dialog button on the File Cannot Be Skipped message ends the install with a Setup Failed message;
Linksys Instant Wireless Network Card was not installed successfully. Please run Setup again.
I then tried to manually copy the MFCC file to the desktop myself, just as a test. I get the message;
Error Copying File
Cannot copy 'mfcce20'.
Executable and resource files in ROM cannot be copied.
