CyberScheduler Release 2.1
Release Notes
1. Introduction
This release contains the CyberScheduler 2.1 release for Windows.

do the following things to get up and running:
a. Make sure your CrossWind calendar server is running and you
have set up any necessary user accounts. Help can be found at
http://www.crosswind.com/cybsprt2.htm.
b. During installation, if you chose the option that prevents the CyberScheduler Agent
from starting up automatically, start the CrossWind CyberScheduler Agent from
Control Panel|Services.
c. Users should now be able to access their calendars from their web browsers

ADDENDUM TO RELEASE NOTES
Problem:
I get "file is in use" or "access denied" messages whenever I try to access
or delete a file associated with CyberScheduler (e.g. dat.perm, userinfo,
temporary installation files)
It has been observed that some files present in the directories accessed
during the installation of CyberScheduler have occasionally ended up having
their permissions changed to "System" only. If this happens they are no
longer access able to any users; even those with Administration privileges.
This is usually associated with an installation that has been abnormally
aborted, but has been seen even with successful installations. The files
can be restored to their original permissions through the Windows Explorer
program.
Solution:
Log in as an administrator and open Windows Explorer. Highlight the
offending file, and then from the "Files" menu, select "Properties". A
dialog box will appear. Select the Security tab and click the "permissions"
button. Another dialog box will appear with a list of the current
permissions. Click the "Add" button and add whatever groups that you wish
to have access privileges to the files you have chosen. Then under "Types
of Access" select the access level you want to give them. Select "OK" and
the files should be accessible once again.
