Apache WM6.1 Kitchen CE OS 5.2.19716 (Build 19716.1.0.0) - UPDATED 20080308

[fabrijack]

I have a problem. When I tell it to build it runs thru the scanning phase and at the first phase of extracting I get the error:

Kitchens|Apache_Helmi_WM6.1.rar file create error

any suggestions what to do? I tried a re-start, and update. Same thing.

Thanks,
Jack

Greetings all: I am running w2k sp4. The buildOS.msi will not install, it generates an error message stating MDAC 2.7 is needed. Found it on MS, however it pauses halfway thru the install and rolls back to the original, effectively cancelling the install. Have tried the fixes here:

http://support.microsoft.com/kb/309166

I have MDAC 2.8, its 5724 kB. The fix in the kb references modifying the Windows Installer package (.msi) file by using the Orca database editor. Add a custom action, and then run the custom action from your Windows Installer package. This workaround prevents the call to the Secedit.exe file. Additionally, modify the Windows Installer package so that the package will modify the permissions for the BidInterface subkey in the registry.

This is a real PITA. Im going to fire up my XP laptop. If I get more time, I'll post the results of modding the MDAC_typ for w2k. But as Guru stated, probably not worth it.

BTW, I use my XP laptop for flashing, maybe the msi will install better on XP?

windows 2000 is a bad choice. BuildOS should run on it, but the experience will be miserable as compared to XP or Vista. I strongly urge you to find an XP or Vista computer.

i just flashed with xp, no probs so far. i did notice though that the screen that comes up after the rom builds, does not tell you to put it in bootloader. not a big deal, just thought i'd throw that out there.

That's a new one for me. What OS? Do you have plenty of drive space available (300-400MB at a minimum). Did you install to the default location or to some other location?

Guru, whats the reason for the username/pw to d/l the oem rar files?

Yes, that was removed as it seemed to confuse many people. It isn't always necessary, and causes a retireval error on the 2nd RUU screen. If you find your phone doesn't switch to bootloader mode properly on it's own during the update, you can do it by hand and restart the RUU.
