cannot start search service Help

  • Article

AhHhHh,,,,

this is my favorate,,,

once i tried to start the help search service which is a service that will enable you to search in the help files in MOSS,,,

when you try to create it, you get the most annoying and meaningful error message which is :) File Not Found !!!!

oh my god! that kept me staring at the screen for hours,,

anyways the log of this error is:

"

The BLOB property does not exist in the database; skipping import. - File:d:\office\source\search\search\gather\gthrsvc\gthrapp.cxx Line:3597

"

after i don't know how many hours, i discovered this line: Registry BLOB not imported; continue initialization

directly i relized that enven i am an administrator on the box, i have some GroupPolicy issues that preventing me from editing regedit and hens, creating the search...

 

this classic problem for any installation :(

please be careful out there ...

    Mike Hill  and mcodyw, honestly i don't know the exact permission, but what i know that the you don't have a permission to the registry even if you are an administrator. hence, you need to check if there is a GPO preventing you from doing it, you should have writing permission on the registry for this to create and update records
