Description:
Help:About gives system error 87 (parameter is incorrect)

How to repeat:
I removed Beta 1.0.7 Administrator using Windows Add/Remove Program in Control Panel, then installed Beta 1.0.8. Launched Administator and went to Help : About to verify install, but got error message:

The following exception occurred:
System Error. Code: 87.
The parameter is incorrect.

I removed Beta 1.0.8, downloaded a new installation file, ran complete install again. Same problem.

Are you tried to install it starting the computer with safe mode ?

I did not try installing it in "safe mode."

Problem was on a workstation running W2K with executable installed on my G: drive which is an NTFS partition.

I also tried installing Beta 1.0.8 on my laptop at work which is also running W2K and got the same error (this time installing it on my laptop's C: drive which is FAT32.

I installed the executable on my Windows 2003 server (D: drive, NTFS), and did NOT have any problems.
