 I installed 4.8 successfully, also went through the install wizard successfully. Then, on the next "run" I get this error message

I too encountered this error while trying to install and run Version 4.7.  I tried everything and could not come up with a solution.  Then I noticed 4.8 was available.  I downloaded that and could not get that version to work on my Sever 2003 Standard Edition.  So, I went to a different computer running XP and tried 4.8 there.  Now I'm having SQL connection problems.  I am having one problem after another.  Install documentation varies from weak to non-existant.  I am really frustrated and wonder if this product really works. 

The problem you are encountering was a challenge because I tried to debug the source with VS2005 and couldn't get around the numerous compile errors in order to trace the code and fix this Path1 error.  I have wasted about 10 days trying to get this tool up and usable.  I'm not a newbee and understand how this stuff works... dead ends everywhere.

Thanks Jim...well this really sucks then. Did you completely abandon this? What do you think should I do?

I'm having the same problem but in a different piece of code:  No clue what the problem is or how to fix it however.

While it is not obvious from the error, this is due to the fact that the ActiveDirectory Provider needs to be upgraded to support version 4.8.0.
