Has anybody encountered problems with Windows 2000 Service Pack 3 ? It appears to change the way Mathlink works in Mathematica 4.0. For example: Install[ LinkLaunch[ prog.exe ]] no longer works (i.e. forces the user to select the program through a file browser) but has to be replaced by Install[ prog.exe ] Additionally, Mathematica 4.2 installation will not complete (after asking whether or not I want to enter password, Mathematica fails to launch). After starting Mathematica manually, and having entered pwd information, JLink fails Needs["JLink`"] InstallJava[] causes a file browser to pop-up and asks to select some non otherwise specified file. I have reported the problems to Wolfram support which seemed surprised by this ... Fulvio
