    Hi Everybody,

    Since the last month i have a Home Server installed but after a long time googling and searching i don't have find the answer i need.

    simply question, but i can't install add ins, i have downloaded some add ins but they are not available to install.

    In the add in menu i dont have any options to install.

    And when i try to install the add-in, I get the message "requires Windows Home Server" but it is absolutely a Windows Home Server.

    Who can help me? i will add some printscreens to show whats going wrong.

    Thanks in advance.

     

    Henk-Jan

    There are no add-ins available for Vail at this time, and V1 add-ins are incompatible.
    I'm not on the WHS team, I just post a lot. :)

    There are a few add-ins for Vail, mostly previews and/or betas though:

    - Lights-out (for both Vail and Aurora)
    - Advanced Admin Console (Vail/Aurora)
    - Remote Launcher
    - AutoExit 2010
    - WakeOnLAN

    How in the world did you become a MVP for WHS?

    There are no add-ins for Vail (I discount "beta on beta"; it's a pretty decent recipe for disaster, and considering the Vail SDK is also beta and could change, all add-ins for Vail are by definition beta) and V1 add-ins won't install. All of the add-ins shown in the OP's screen prints are for V1, and the screen prints are obviously from Vail.

    So your point is?

    If you are refering to my post earlier, I think I've already made my point

    You say there are no Add-ins for Vail, and I say there are (I've listed those that I know of above).

    And it really doesn't matter if you decides to call them "beta on beta" or something else.
    Vail, the SDK and the Add-ins are beta.

    Quite simple.
