some good happenstance yesterday and today

kbAlertz: When attempting to enlist in a distributed transaction by using either the Microsoft ODBC for Oracle or the Microsoft OLE DB Provider for Oracle, the following error message occurs:


neo t210c IIS installation problem from oem's winxp cd.

muntikan ko ireinstall from unlicensed winxp yung laptop ko. ayaw gumana nung iis from original winxp cd. pag ni-a-add ko na yung IIS s windows, it errors:
"Distibuted Transaction Coordinator Setup Error"
"failed to register mtxoci.dll."

it's almost a week na i am googling to find solution for this IIS problem.

iniinstall ko na yung unlicensed winxp(which gumagana yung IIS) yesterday, but then i thought to give one last shot to search again in google, so i stopped the installation, then search uli ako.

sayang naman yung original winxp kung di original yung gagamitin ko sa laptop, P5,000 din oem's winxp.

google ulit. buti I stumble upon this article, which states that it is registry permission problem. so what i did is change the permission of user SYSTEM in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\MSDTC to full control, then yun gumana na

and buti na lang din i happen to disable the Virtual Memory(Paging) . Start > Control Panel > System > Advanced > Settings > Advanced > Virtual Memory > Change. hindi nagtutuloy mag-install yung vmware pag walang virtual memory, nag-ha-hang. kung nagkataon na on the first go is nainstall ko vmware, baka ni-vmware ko n lng yung winxp n unlicensed n gumagana yung IIS.

then nung napagana ko na yung IIS dun sa original winxp, ni-try ko iinstall uli vmware this morning. an idea struck to my mind na baka kulang sa memory(though 768mb na memory nito). so ni-enable ko uli yung paging, then voila! gumana na yung installation ng vmware :)

i wonder nga lang bakit yung original cd is readonly yung permission ng MSDTC registry.
