No IPv6

I tried installing TCP/IP protocol IPv6 and get an error:
XP Pro SP3

What an amazingly verbose error message! This will certainly help troubleshoot things!

Ok serious time. Run "ipv6 install" in a command prompt and you should get some more details.

I tried that earlier, too. No joy.

Upon further review, I found a solution:
I Ran: esentutl /p %windir%\security\Database\secedit.sdb

Then ran ipv6 install and the install succeeded. I think. TCP/IPv6 Properties button is grayed out.

Why do programmers make error messages like that? Are they retarded or do they just wanna screw with us? Its actually 2 programmers to blame right? One wrote the error message template(Could not add the requested component: The error is:) and another wrote the error message itself(An extended error has occured).

If you Google this error you will find the commands to run from the DOS prompt to correct the error and complete the installation of IPv6.

Hi John,
I haven't resolved the IPv6 properties gray button detail, if it even is a solvable issue in XP.

From IPCONFIG /ALL, I see IPv6 DNS servers, and 2 IPv6 tunnel adapter address entries, and in NETSTAT there are IPv6 TCP services "listening" on ports 135 and 1025.

It looks like it's working. I'll fill out a trial application.
