4527.0. "Questions about the AltaVista search engine" by CHOWDA::GLICKMAN (writing from Newport,RI) Fri Mar 07 1997 13:33

    Help with the AltaVista search engine.
    
    My customer wants to test it out.  
    
    Currently, I am running Windows NT Workstation 4.0 Service Pack 2 on an 
    Intel based PC.  Could I download it and test it on that?
    
    If not, the customer recently purchased a 4100 that came with Windows
    NT 3.51 Server.  We are in the midst of trying to get Windows NT 4.0
    on it.  So is this really the platform and software I need?
    
    Also, I tried to download some software today but am not sure I got
    exactly what I am looking for.  I downloaded the AltaVista Search
    My Computer PX NT Server Install Kit and the AltaVista Search
    My Computer Private eXtension for W95/NT, V1.0a.
    
    Are these what I need?  Or is there some other software?
    
    Thanks!

	On the Intel NT machine, it will just install. On the Alpha box, you need to run it under FX!32. FX!32 is not really supported on NT before 4.0 so you may need to upgrade. In addition, it sound like you downloaded the evaluation versions of Personal Search, etc. That means it will expire. Danny

	RE: .1 Although AV SMCPX V1.0 installs and runs just fine under FX!32, neither the Service Pack 2 for the product nor the evaluation beta kits for the 1.1 version will run under FX!32. It's because they are now using a DLL that makes calls to NTDLL.DLL, and that mechanism doesn't (yet?) work under FX!32. --PSW
4527.3	Doesn't work now what?	CHOWDA::GLICKMAN	writing from Newport,RI	`Mon Mar 10 1997 12:01`	9
	I clicked on the avsmc10a_eval.9IT and get the Open With Window. Can I get this to run? I do the same for the ServUpgrd.O8J the the same thing happens. What am I doing wrong? Thanks.

	Sounds like downloads with Microsoft Explorer are still getting bogus file extensions. Try renaming them to .exe and see what happens. You might also want to report this issue with the "Feedback" button. j.
