LLTD Responder won't install

[Lu Powell]

Today, I hooked up my new HP laptop running Vista Home Premium (64bit).
I have two other 32 bit computers I want to network, each of them
running XP with SP2 and SP3.

Finding the existing internet connection on my XP desktop was a snap.
However, I can't see the other computers. Microsoft says I need to
install LLTD Responder protocol on the XP machines.

I downloaded the protocol form Microsoft. So far, so good.

When I try to install on the XP SP3 machine, the program aborts, stating
my SP version doesn't need the file.

Now what do I do?

Thanks for your help.

I think SP3 for XP actually already includes it (I'm not sure as I already
had it installed long before I installed SP3). You should be able to see it
in the Properties of your WLAN/LAN connection in Network Connections.

Oh, by the way, I found a way to install the LLTD Responder on Windows
Server 2003 as well, if anybody is interested. It completes the picture on
my network map quite nicely.

I had this same problem and am still trying to get Microsoft support to
determine why it does not seem to be in SP3 like they say.
However, I found two ways to deal with it.
1. If you install the LLTD before you install SP3, it works fine.

2. After installing SP3 or when you do a fresh install of XP SP3, even
though the protocol won't self install you can install it youself by first
extracting the files from the windowsXP-KB922120-v5-ENU.exe file. See this
article.
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/828030

In the folder where you extract to you will find a folder SP2QFE.
Open this and you will find the required files.


Then copy the rspndr.sys to C:\Windows\System32\Drivers folder,
rspndr.exe to C:\Windows\System32 folder.
rspndr.inf (inside ip folder) to C:\Windows\Inf folder
Then open a Command prompt and navigate to the C:\Windows\System32 folder
and type rspndr.exe -i This will install the LLTD responder.

That install did the trick. Thanks.

I have the same problem, but when I attempt to install the LLTD it errors with:

pINetCfgClassSetup->Install failed to install MS_RSPNDR: 800f0203
Failed to install lltd driver

Any Ideas?

I originally had that problem because I forgot to copy the rspndr.inf file to
the Windows Inf folder.
