The initial install (which did not include BCM or Acctg 2007) went fine. I
used Outlook a couple of times.
Then, I installed Business Contact Manager.
I opened Outlook, and my machine re-booted.
Every time now that I open outlook, at least it's not rebooting my machine,
but I'm getting the pop-up error window that says:
MS Windows Search Protocol Host has encountered a problem and needs to close:
I send the error report, and in a few seconds it pops up again... It
happened 3 times this last time I opened Outlook.
It is interesting to note that I could see the Desktop Search icon in my
system tray flashing, which means it was indexing. Now that it has stopped
indexing, the error messages have seemed to stop. This may or may not mean
anything, I don't know... I am also running NET framework 3, which I
upgraded to AFTER I installed BCM. Once again, may or not mean anything.
The underlying error messages say this:
AppName: searchprotocolhost.exe AppVer: 6.0.5824.16387
AppStamp:4535ba59
ModName: kernel32.dll ModVer: 5.1.2600.2945

Thank you in advance!

It's possible that BCM setup may have patched the .NET 2.0 CLR (I
remember a message to that effect), and installing 3.0 replaced the
patched CLR with an unpatched CLR.

Q:
How do I 'repatch' CLR?
To what version?
Where do I get this version?
Will it make BCM run at a reasonable speed?
thanks
BCM v3 setup installs .NET 2.0 and two .NET patches.
If you look at the BCM setup folder on your media, you will see two
sub folders with six digit numbers. I believe they start with KB.
(Sorry I don't have the disk with me). They refer to Knowledge Base
articles on the Microsoft website. If you have those numbers (anyone?)
you can also go to microsoft.com and download them directly--that may
be easier than unpacking the BCM download, if you downloaded BCM from
the web instead of getting it on a disk. Those two folder/KBs contains
patches for the .NET CLR to fix bugs; probably as MSP files. Run them.
If the CLR on your machine doesn't already have them, they will get
installed. I believe I learned this from the readme file (perhaps in a
beta, but I don't any BCM on this machine either to check right now)
so you could look in the readme file me to learn more about the
patches.
922981 link is http://support.microsoft.com/kb/922981/en-us
and doesn't actually give you a link to the file, recommends you contact MS
for it.
923319 link is http://support.microsoft.com/kb/923319/en-us
it doesn't give you an actual link to a file either.
They both recommend you wait for the next service pack...
SO -- anyway, I just loaded the 2nd Office 2007 CD (which has the hotfixes
that I saw on my initial install, and BCM & acctg 2007) and it came up to the
"Repair" or "Remove" installation screen. I chose repair, and it started
right into the Accounting 2007 re-installation, skipping the hotfixes part of
the install that happened before the initial install.
Of course, since this installation was already in progress, I just let it
continue. 1/2 way through the re-install, it got a stop error I guess, and
it rebooted.
Got scared after that, and chose to UNinstall CD2, which took off BCM, acctg
2007, and some SQL apps there for BCM I guess.
My computer is back to normal now, and I think I'm going to wait awhile
before I try reinstalling BCM... :-) I'm relatively computer savvy, but BCM
is just a little too scary for me right now!
But, thank you so much for your time!

What is a ".NET CLR" and an "MS TS", which were mentioned in this thread?
"MS TS" = Microsoft Technical Support
Good Morning All,
I've experienced the same problems after installing BCM:
"search protocol error"
slower outlook performance
delay in seeing newly downloaded emails (change screens back and forth
to see)
I removed WSD and the annoying error message is gone.
Has anybody found anything new regarding this situation?
Thanks,
John
Could be the same problem and maybe not...
HTH,
Lon

There is an update for WDS which just came out last week that will
most likely resolve these issues. Download from here:

[End of instructions]
It said I should “uncheck the Desktop Search.” I couldn’t find such an
add-in, but I disabled the “Windows Search Email Indexer;” maybe it’s the
same thing. I did this and the error messages stopped appearing.
I don't know if this mean I’ll no longer have fast searching in Outlook or
on my Desktop.
