maybe you mistype something.

What is the result if you type only

stsadm.exe -o addwppack
?

on the -filename parameter use the full path to the cab file, and put "
marks before and after like this:

stsadm -o addwppack -filename
"c:\......\somepart.cab" -globalinstall -force

Hi Peter.

Yes I have placed the details in the path vars and tried it using the
full directory name but still have the same problem. SPS and SQL are
on the same server and we can access the portal site with no problems.
I have tried with the local admin account and the domain admin
accounts still with no joy!!!

P,

the path for stsadm.exe is normally not in the path environment
variable.

So: you open a command prompt, then navigat to the folder that
contains stsadm.exe (in a normal installation its located in the
"C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\web server
extensions\60\BIN" directory, so you type
cd "C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\web server
extensions\60\BIN"
on the command prompt, and run the stsadm -o addwppack .... command.

Also make sure, that the user, with that you are working has the
necessary permissions on the SQL Server SPS Content database,
otherwise the command will also fail!
If the database and front end servers are on separate machines, the
sql client tools must also be installed on the front end server
machine to work with stsadm!

Ok. Can't find any information on this. Trying to register the
remote desktop component on our sharepoint portal server and each
time it comes back with "command line error". Even tried with
different components and different local/domain admin accounts.

I'm running the command line, and I have tried this using the
correct case information (as found in other posts)

stsadm.exe -o addwppack -filename
RemoteDesktopWebPart.Cab -globalinstall


Any asisstance would be gr8
