User Tip #1: Windows 2000 Readiness Analyzer

Hits: Failed to execute CGI : Win32 Error Code = 3

************** unfortunately Microsoft has removed the Readiness Analyzer from their site *************************

The Windows 2000 Readiness Analyzer tool analyzes your system and reports potentially incompatible hardware devices and software applications. The tool compares the devices and applications on your system against a list of known issues. Although this check also occurs during Windows 2000 Setup, you can download and run the tool before installing Windows 2000 to help ensure your installation will succeed.

If you have Quickbooks installed, you can get the following error running the readiness tool, testing the upgrade with command Winnt32 /checkupgradeonly , or by attempting the upgrade itself:

 
       WINNT32 this program has performed an illegal operation.

This is an acknowledged problem which can be resolved by locating qbconv32.dll and renaming it to qbconv32.dl_. Do this for every copy of qbconv32.dll.
