I/NET shortcut utility in Vista 5.1 does not create shortcuts when browsing in the I/NET link.

[Product_Support]

Issue

I/NET shortcut utility in Vista 5.1 does not create shortcuts when browsing in the I/NET link.

Environment

I2V Integration

Vista 5.1

Cause

The shortcut utility will fail if there is a "\" in any of the I/NET point names contained in the .sav files. This character is not a legal character in Vista, however the shortcut utility should replace it with an "_" and it doesn't.

Resolution

1. Change any "\" characters to "/"
2. Re-run the wizard. 
3. As always, it is good practice to only use Vista legal characters when integrating anything to Vista.
