Are you importing the files associated with the SOE into the sharepoint as well? If so, then the SOE snapshot MUST be imported from the machine it was created on.

Thanks for your quick reply.



I was not importing the files just the SOE database into Software Manager. I did try from the same PC as the SOE was created but that also failed. The error in the original post came from the import I was doing on the server itself.



I am going to try and redo the SOE and try importing that and see if that helps any.

How much RAM is present in the machine on which you are trying to generate the SOE? From my experiments, you need at least 384Mb and preferably 512Mb to get a successful SOE output. That was on XP. You may need more RAM if working on Vista.

The PC is XPSP2 with 512mb.. I have upped the page size to 1.5gb and made initial and maximum both the same. The SOE file gets created successfully but I am unable to import it into Software Manager. I am rebuilding my PC that I am building the SOE on now and hope that will correct the issue.



Keeping my fingers crossed.

Have you checked through the many articles in the Knowledge Base that get thrown up if you search on 'SOE' within Wise Package Studio ?

If you have, that's pretty much all the ideas I can suggest, apart from asking you how big your XP image is (assuming it's XP)?

It is NOT good practice to capture an SOE image of the operating system with a bunch of applications installed. Ensure that the SOE snapshot is of the operating system ONLY.

I have the same problem .......

This thread has a number of actions to try.
Have you tried any of them yet?
Just posting that you have an issue without giving ANY other information is truly pointless, unless of course you just want to tell us you have a problem on a purely statistical basis, and are not interested in seeking a solution.
