Indexing Service and WDS

[srd]

I have assumed that Indexing Service is not required for WDS. It seems to
run as a separate service. But I came across a post claiming that Indexing
Service is required. Does anyone know whether WDS 3 beta depends on the
Windows Indexing Service?

As far as I can tell, WDS 3 removed Indexing Service on my two
computers. I assume that WDS3 is a successor to indexing services?
I still have the service Indexing Service installed, but it is set to
manual and not started (maybe that was my own doing? I mess around with
services a lot). When you open computer management (right-click my
computer, manage) and click on Services and Applications, do you get an
error message that the indexing service snap-in could not be loaded?

Yes, I get the snap-in message about indexing service.

 

[Patrick Schmid]

Sounds right then...

I don't know if WDS _requires_ Indexing Service in any way. However, I
did find that if I didn't have Indexing service installed and enabled in
the Services MCP then OneNote 2007 beta would give an error saying that
WDS was not installed properly. YMMV.

Having done that, I still get this error.
Whatelse could I do?

Search back a few weeks. I gave a full explanation of how I got it to
work.

You won't believe me: I did follow your in detail recipe step-by-step.
To no avail [siiigh]. Pls see my follow-up of July 22 in my thread "ON
2007 - Windows Desktop Search".
Sorry, would have put a link in here, would I know how to :-( :-(
