Raj,
Sorry for the delay in getting back to you on this ...
had a very busy week and didn't get back to this issue.
You seem to have identified the source of the problem. I
went to my firewall software and manually added
the "CeAppMgr.exe" application to the list of apps that
would be granted access to the internet. From that time
forward the installation of software has appeared to work
without problem! Thanks for the advice.
Two additional comments:
First, my firewall typically advises me that software is
attempting to access the internet and presents me with an
option to allow or block access. I don't recall this
application ever requesting such access. Furthermore it
DID NOT appear on either the blocked or access-permitted
list of applications. Evidently the attempt to access
wasn't detected by my firewall. At any rate, it would be
helpful if Microsoft provided a "heads up" about this
fact. This prerequisite was certainly not self-evident.
Second, does this imply that an internet connection is
required in order to install software? What if
ActiveSync was installed on a standalone PC with no
network connection?
Thanks again for your help!
Marc
