Database Path: .\Database\ or C:\Program Files\MSPress\Training\Database\ CAUSE ===== This error occurs when the SBSI training program is installed on an NTFS partition and you are not logged on with Owner, Administrator, or Power User privileges. The SBSI training program requires that all users have write access to the location where SBSI stores a number of .dbf files, typically in the C:\Program Files\MSPress\Training\Database folder. RESOLUTION ========== An update is available that allows all user groups to successfully run the training program on their local computers. The update should be run after the installation of any of the Step by Step Interactive titles listed above. Saved information such as custom users, progress and assessment information may be lost when applying the patch on top of an already installed Step by Step Interactive title.

Once posted, the file is housed on secure servers that prevent any unauthorized changes to the file. Q308101.exe launches Q308101.vbs which in turn copies the database files from C:\ProgramFiles\MSPress\Training\Database to C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\sbsi\lrun, or to the equivalent location on localized versions of Microsoft Windows. The database files combined consume approximately 100 kb. The script then calls the Windows Cacls.exe tool to ensure that the USERS group has write permissions added to the files copied. Userid.exe provides the USERS alias as it is defined for the operating system (localized or not). Finally, the script modifies the database path in the lrun32.ini file which is located in the %windir% folder. Q308101.exe is applicable for the following language versions of SBSI: English, Brazilian Portuguese, Dutch, French, German, Italian, Japanese, Spanish and Swedish. Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) can view the ReadMe for instructions on how to apply this update via the OEM Preinstall Kit (OPK).
