Update: Vantage went in easily. Through some sneaky folder renaming, I
had it running in a fairly short amount of time. I've spent probably 12
hours or so, so far, recreating user desktops on the PCs and fighting with
folder and share permissions on the server. We're running, for the most
part...

Yes, Dan, we're still across from Marden's!

I started over this morning, and everything is going much smoother. While
I will still have to recreate all my users, I am currently installing
Vantage, and knocking on wood.

Hi, all! It's been a looooooooong day. I decided this weekend was a good
time to wipe my server and put a fresh install of Windows 2000 Server, and
Vantage 5.0. Being a bit of a Win2K novice, I knew it was going to be a
little different from the previous upgrade from WinNT that I had done. Not
sure what I was thinking, but I lost everything. I just completed a
restore of the system state files and am rebooting. I'm pretty much
leaving for the evening, as I had made plans to go out! I'll be spending
the day here, tomorrow, I'm sure to finish the job.

With Active Directory running, I was not able to restore those files. I
was told I had to reboot into Directory Services Restore mode to do it. No
dice. Couldn't log in. I removed Active Directory (are you all cringing,
now?) and ran the restore. I rebooted, and received an error message
regarding directory services. I had to click "OK" to reboot to go back
into Directory Services Restore mode. You guessed it. I can't log in.

Anyway, all this to tell you about my first attempt at reinstalling
Vantage. I get to the first step, installing Progress. I click the button
to begin the installation, and the window disappears. Nothing happens. If
I try it again, clicking the install eManufactuing software button, that
installation begins, but quits because of the lack of a Progress
installation. Any idea why the first installation isn't working?

Feel free to give me any pointers on my OS issue, but I think the Vantage
issue is the most important. I can recreate fifty users and computers in
my Active Directory.
