Manually uninstalling the Worry-Free Remote Manager (WFRM) 1.0 / 2.0 Agent

by steve

When upgrading to WFBS and WFBSA 6.x from previous versions of Trend Micro WFBS and CSM for SMB, I've had multiple times where the Worry-Free Remote Manager Agent install fails and gives the following pop-up error:

Unable to load Library C:\DOCUME~1\ADMINI~1\LOCALS~1\Temp\{43F8CF32-15B7-44DD-A01D-A3372DD2856E}\zlib1.dll.

If you run across this, Trend has a great KB that will walk you through doing a manual removal. If you keep the GUID in your Worry Free Remote Management Console, then you can do a copy and paste into the new install of the agent and you'll be set.

If you don't feel like clicking through to the KB, here's a copy of it as of 9/8/2010:

Looking for those Outlook file locations?

by steve

Trying to find the signature file location, where the nk2 file is located, or other Outlook settings so you can take them with you over to your new Windows 7 PC? Check out Microsoft's KB 287070 for great info on PST files, and the best part, where the nk2 and signature files are located. Copied that info below for you too.

How to back up Outlook settings files

If you have customized settings, such as toolbar settings and Favorites, that you want to replicate on another computer or restore to your computer, you might want to include the following files in your backup:

  • Outcmd.dat: This file stores toolbar and menu settings.
  • ProfileName.fav: This is your Favorites file, which includes the settings for the Outlook bar.
  • ProfileName.nk2: This file stores the Nicknames for AutoComplete.
  • Signature files: Each signature has its own file and uses the same name as the signature that you used when you created it. For example, if you create a signature named MySig, the following files are created in the Signatures folder:
    • MySig.htm: This file stores the HTML Auto signature.
    • MySig.rtf: This file stores the Microsoft Outlook Rich Text Format (RTF) Auto signature.
    • MySig.txt: This file stores the plain text format Auto signature.
    The location of the signature files depends on the version of Windows that you are running. Use this list to find the appropriate location:
    • Windows Vista: Drive\users\Username\appdata, where Drive represents the drive that Outlook was installed to and Username represents the user name that Outlook was installed under.
    • Windows XP or Windows 2000: Drive\Documents and Settings\Username\Local Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\Outlook, where Drive represents the drive that Outlook was installed to and Username represents the user name that Outlook was installed under.
    • Windows 98 or Windows Me: Drive\Windows\Local Settings\Application Data, where Drive represents the drive that Outlook was installed to.

Note If you use Microsoft Word as your e-mail editor, signatures are stored in the Normal.dot file as AutoText entries. You should back up this file also.
