remoting (flash 8) not working on my new vista

[johnglynn]

I just installed flash 8 and Flash 8 remoting stuff from adobe (http://download.macromedia.com/pub/flashremoting/flash8/flashremoting_components_flash8.msi) on my new Vista (ultimate) computer.

I imported my fla files from my old computer. Flash remoting is not working now.

I followed the instructions in this thread: NetService.as: File not found (http://www.actionscript.org/forums/showthread.php3?t=86085&highlight=file+%23netservices.as). I was previously using flash 8 and using #include NetServices.as and it worked fine. I have tried import.mx.remoting.NetServices but to no avail.

I am using flash 8 and publishing to version 7/as2.

Please help me if you can:confused:

Thank you,
John

Ok so 8 months on from Johnglynn's post and I am having a problem installing flash remoting components on my new vista. I get error 1606. could not access network location
%SystemDrive%\inetpub\wwwroot\flashremoting

Have tried the solutions regarding changing reg that I found online to no avail. it appears there are certain new security protocols that I cannot bypass to install..but perhaps it is something else..I really do not know. :( I even activated the admin account via the dos prompt and still could not get it to work :(

I have been posting all over trying to get help.

so please someone Help :)

I got an work around for this problem

Go to the registry location HKLM\Software\Microsoft\InetStp
modify the value for "PathWWWRoot" variable from %SystemDrive%\inetpub\wwwroot to "c:\inetpub\wwwroot" (where c is my system drive).

I know this is an old post but I wanted to post what worked for me to try and help others.

Do what raulshukla says at this registry location:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\ InetStp\PathWWWRoot
