MSDN XPBurn error under Windows 2003

[Robert Brown]

Hi All..

I am trying to program into an exisitng vb.net application, the
ability to burn to a CDR/RW. I cam across the above .net component,
exactly what I needed, and proceeded to include it into my
application.

I program and run the tests under Windows 2003 server (and the app
will run under XP or 2003) but I get the following exception when I
try to create a new object using the code:

Dim CDBurn As New XPBurnCD

The exception:
"No XP compatible CDR API present"

I have added a reference to the DLL and use IMPORTS XPBurn

Does anyone have any ideas? I presumed (as per google posts) that the
CDR API is an inbuilt function of WinXP and Win2003.

Thanks,
Robert

Hi,


The imapi service (cd burning service) is disabled by default on
windows 2003.

Thanks Ken..

Now I feel really stupid.. I didn't even think about whether the
service was running or not.

Thanks,
