Re: Open Remote executable?

It sounds like a permissions issue, I don't have that issue on mine. Check the security of the document and settings folder see if your account has the proper permissions.

Without really understanding what I'm doing, I've gotten this working. I disabled Simple File Sharing on my XP Pro PC and looked at Security for the folder that works (C:/temp) and for the "Install Files" folder (in Documents and Settings) - both Shared. Seeing that C:/temp had an entry for "Everyone" (with Read&Execute, List Folder Contents, and Read permission enabled), I clicked on Add in the Install Files folder (in Documents and Settings) and added "Everyone," which appeared along with the same permissions settings (Read&Execute, List Folder Contents, and Read permission).

Now I can copy and even execute the shared install files (.exe) from the remote machine (XP Home) - even if I re-enable Simple File Sharing.

Problem solved.

..... It seems to me that when I shared the folder in Documents and Settings, the "Everyone" entry should have been added by Simple File Sharing, but for some reason, it was not. At least I have it working now.

Thanks for the help .... and for hanging in there with me.
