View Full Version : how do I install icsharep?


Jonathan
June 4th 04, 10:39 PM
I'm trying to get ICS installed and keep getting the
following message:

'Internet Connection Sharing must have ICSHAREP installed.'

I've got an ME machine connected to internet via NIC and
cable modem, and also connected to home network via NIC
and hub.

I've played around a bit adding and removing protocols (my
set-up doesn't find the inf files for TCP/IP, netbeui etc
in C:\windows\inf even when they are there. I have to put
them in a temp directory to do this.) and clearing out
registry settings.

Is there a way to get my system to install the seemign ly
mising icsharep (e.g. registry hack on HKLM\enum\network)?

Or is it a problem with my network cards (they're both
NDIS 3 I think)

Any thoughts?

Yes. That's when I get the error message. (usually just
before Home Networking Wizard runs)

I also get it when I run the Home Networking Wizard
subsequently.

My first inclination would be to uninstall ICS from Add/Remove, then
reinstall it again, and see if that clears the error *during the install* -
if not, then uninstall, replace the INF from the CAB files, and repeat.

I've done your 'first inclination' (but deleting ICSharing
registry key prior to the uninstall). (I'm less sure I've
done it w/o doing the registry edit, however.)

I think I've done the second ... I know I recently
extracted the inf to a temp directory and then compared
contents with one in C:\windows\inf using a file compare
utility and they were exactly the same!

I may try these one more time, but do you have any other
ideas in the mean time?

Jonathan

PS ask me any details about my setup that you like

Why play with the registry? - that's what install/uninstall routines are
for!! (at least in theory<g>)

File compares can be fooled -or you may be looking at the wrong copy of the
file!

You don't need NetBeui, whatever else you might need - so forget it (and it
can cause problems).

Have you made sure that you have the correct driver installed for the
network cards (i.e. does the network run OK until you install ICS??)

You *may* have 'version soup' - have you reinstalled ME over itself from the
CD at any point?

Have you had a virus infection? - what's your AV??

Responses below!

Thanks

>Why play with the registry? - that's what

>for!! (at least in theory<g>)

J: Indeed! It seems to me (IMHO) that one or more install
routine ain't working, 'cos icsharep isn't getting
installed.

>File compares can be fooled -or you may be looking at the
wrong copy of the file!

J: I use Beyond Compare, which is pretty good. Allows you
to compare files in a file explorer view and then contents
of two files side-by-side. Use it all the time at work
(multimedia/web development).

>You don't need NetBeui, whatever else you might need - so
forget it (and it can cause problems).

J: I don't have it installed, but installed it and
uninstalled it as part of a set of steps recommended to
fix problems with netconn (on practicallynetworked.com and
homenethelp.com amongst others)

>Have you made sure that you have the correct driver
installed for the network cards (i.e. does the network run
OK until you install ICS??)

J: Yes. I believe I have correct and latest manufacturers
drivers (as opposed to microsoft) and both cable modem
connection and home network work ok and at the same time.

>You *may* have 'version soup' - have you reinstalled ME
over itself from the CD at any point?

J: I've never reinstalled.

>Have you had a virus infection? - what's your AV??

J: not been infected as far as I know. I have Norton AV as
part of Norton Internet security. Been running since Jan
2002 (and I've upgraded to 2003 and 2004 edition)

J: One final thing. I had a similar problem trying to set-
up VPN a couple of years ago. This was before I put a
network card in the machine and was accessing internet via
dialup. When trying to install VPN I kept getting a
message about NDISWAN not being installed, and the MS VPN
adapter wouldn't appear in network properties (just as ICS
adapter and protocols don't appear in network properties
when I install it now)

Oh - Norton :(
Is this the Corporate version, or Retail??

FWIW, I'd never consider attempting anything to do with system modifications
with any (Retail) Norton product installed or running - but I have been
reliably informed that the Corporate version is considerably more
OS-friendly.
Norton and ME do NOT get on - and for me, ME is more important than Norton!

WRT comparing files - you have to ensure that you're comparing the right
copies!
In my ME system (currently an ICS client - but used to be the host), I have
C:\WINDOWS\\SYSTEM\ICSHAREP.VXD dated 8th June 2000
C:\WINDOWS\INF\ICSHAREP.INF ditto
C:\WINDOWS\INF\INFBACK\ICSSHAREP.INF dated 13/3/2004

Installing ICS and rebooting....
gives the same result!

The original files are held in
PRECOPY1.CAB and WIN_20.CAB in the C:\Windows\Options branch and on the
WinME CD.
Extract the two files, and place them in the correct place, using MSCONFIG,
etc - then Install ICSHAREP.INF

See if that does the trick
