Hi John,

Thanks for the help. I worked through these instructions, however there's
definitely something odd going on with this server:

Even after having stopped the Microsoft Search, SQL Server and SQL Agent
services, set them to Manual and rebooted, I still can't delete the MSSearch
folder - I get the error "the directory is not empty", even when it is;
however the reinstall of the Full Text components from the CD replaced the
files in these folders;

After reinstalling Full Text the error "The server threw an exception."
remains trying to enable Full Text.

Having checked just to see, I then went to install SP3a. I double clicked
the icon to launch the extractor and allows it to re-extract to the default
directory, forgetting that this previously existed - it overwrote the files
fine until it got to MSSearch.exe then prompted "Cannot find the file or
directory", then continued to write all the other files and completed.

I ran the extract again specifying a new folder, which it created. The same
error appeared when it got to mssearch.exe.

I then tried deleting the folder just created above, since it was not
needed. The delete then failed on the folder "search" - "the directory is
not empty", even when it is. It still fails after a reboot.

There seems to be some strange permission issue on this server that only
affects folders related to Full Text Searching, wherever they are as any
folder containing these files can't be deleted, and so I can't install SP3a.

Is there any clue in this that someone could shed light on, I am mystified
:-)

Thanks,
Mark
