RE: Documentation CD

Hello,

One thing I found useful was to install the CiscoCD as directed, then
copy the doc cd to a folder on a hard drive and repoint the search.ini
file to the new folder location. Useful for laptops sans cd. you can
find search.ini in the root folder that cd installs. The Browser=msie
line seems to fix a lot of install problems with IE btw.

One caveat.. There are almost as many subfolders and files on the cd as
a 7750 Callmanager install CD. :-) Virus scanning gets a little slow if
you choose to scan whatever folder you copied the cd too.

Nick

Example below.

<snip>
[IS\SearchApp\Common]
InitialURL=/home/home.htm
#Browser=msie >>>>>>This line add Browser=msie if not there, if it is
change it to msie
BrowserTitle=
Version=
CurrentEnv=ClientCD
_default=\forms
ApplicationGroup=Cisco CD-ROM Products
ApplicationName=LaunchCD
#SourceDrive=c:\CiscoCdrom >>>>>> path of the cd....
port=
DeltaDate=
RemoteAccess=
ErrorPage=nocderr.htm
installPath=
forceInstall=
downloadURL=
IsapiFilters=decomprs,decrypt
encryptMode=3
MacVolName=ciscocd
MasterTable=/collects/cc/table.tbl

I strongly prefer to use the Web, so it did not even clicked in my mind
why one would want actual CD, but Adel's point on offline reading i.e.
airplain is very valid.

I had this issue before and opened Cisco case, was fixed in no time.
Here is a fragment of the case:

Problem Description: When launching Cisco Product Documentation from CD
dated May 2002, I get the following error message "This software has
expired. Click Exit to exit the appilcation." Reinstalation of software
does not help.

Proposed resolution: This is a problem that occurred with several CD
releases around the same time. There are a couple temporary work arounds
but the permanent fix is we need to replace a file. The file vdk20.lic
needs to be replaced. The file is located in the CISCO/common folder,
first make a backup of the current vdk20.lic file and then copy the new
vdk20.lic file I will email you into the CISCO/common/ folder. This will
overwrite the old vdk20.lic file with the new file and will resolve the
issue.

Best regards,
Alexei

Happens on XP. Works smoothly with Win2000 (same CD).
Use web based one, it's the same. However, to take an offline tour thru
it while on the airplane, etc... I have installed a dual-boot into XP
and 2000. 2000 is just for DocCD.
