OK, newbie here.
Created a BART PE boot CD, got the network drivers onto it, I can boot the laptop I'm using (Lenovo SL500) and I can map to a network share and see the files on it. I'm using the default numenu shell. The software was downloaded yesterday so I guess it's the latest version. Text files display ok, (ie TYPE textfile.txt shows the contents), but running a program from the network share doesn't work. I can see the program file I want to run in the directory listing, but when I invoke it I get "system cannot find the file specified". Same result if I try to copy the program file onto the local ramdisk - "system cannot find the file specified" - even though it's there in plain sight. To re-cap: the network share is the current directory, the program is in it (it's Altriris' rdeploy.exe in fact), but the shell pretends that it can't find the file. Did I miss something obvious? Should this work? |

Maybe the exe has a dependency that isn't being found rather than the exe itself.
