Good sir, this is the holy grail of torrents. I will seed this for as long as my computer lives. Thank you.

This is great upload man. Thanks, but i have a this one problem :(
When i try to run a simulation there is error saying "Some of the components needed by this simulation have not been installed. Please close the course materials and run the setup program for this course". All other course materials are working just fine. If anyone can please help me with this??? I´m seeding this.

Thic problem may occur on new cources. To avoid it, follow the instruction.

1. Install one of the old Testout cources (for example, 70-294). Don't change the default path (C:\Program Files\TESTOUT).

2. With a program that works with ISO images (UltraISO and others) extract the content to a new folder (for example, C:\Exchange 70-236).

3. From the folder C:\Program Files\TESTOUT delete subfolders Glossary, Outlines, Questions, resources, Sims or rename them different names however you want.

4. From the folder ?:\Exchange 70-236 copy subfolders Glossary, Outlines, Questions, resources, Sims to C:\Program Files\TESTOUT.

5. In the folder C:\Program Files\TESTOUT\Outlines\ rename file ms236cle.xml to ms294ce.xml.

6. Launch TestOut Navigator. In the choice window you are going to see the old cource. Choose it - you will see the new one.

how do we get past the activation code screen?

yen81 at 2009-08-12 04:18 CET:
Sorry, what activation are you talking about? When it is needed?

MrB8 at 2009-08-12 06:22 CET:
I installed 70-640, when I start it, it asks for a login, I click on create account then it asks for an activation code.

yen81 at 2009-08-12 09:08 CET:
You don't need to install 70-640. First you should install one of previous cources that need no activation (for example, any of MCSE, you may choose 70-294). Then you mount "Configuring Windows Server 2008 AD 70-640.iso" file to a virtual drive and copy every folder from \Testout\ to C:\Program Files\Testout. Then you should rename file C:\Program Files\Testout\Outlines\ms640_cle.xml to MS294CLE.xml. It works. Check this out.

I still got this same error when i try to run any simulation "Some of the components needed by this simulation have not been installed. Please close the course materials and run the setup program for this course" What could couse this problem? I have done everything like this video tutorial is saying, and like i said, everything else in this course working fine except simulations, but simulations are important like all other material. If anyone could help with this???

Hi!
I cannot install Network+. My antivirus program (Norman Security) detecting an infected file, called Xpexplorer.se, and deleting.
Could anyone help me, please!

yen81 at 2009-08-16 14:04 CET:
I don't know what is Norman Security. If it is possible, add this file to trusted list or something like that, so it could be run without scanning.

There is a crack for the latest testout cources, try this. Can't check it right now.

That video is included in this torrent, with the ccna 640-802

BTW its the same method you mentioned before ;)

Thanks

Thank you very much for the help, MrB8 :)

Hi, yen81!
Thank you very much for the help!
I do not know how to add the file mentioned in a trusted list. But for the meantime, I disabled Norman Security, and now the video works just fine.
Thanks

Hey Guys - I need some help.
I install 294 and it works just fine. Then I move the 5 294 directories (as described) somewhere else and copy 647 (which I want) into the TESTOUT directory and rename the XML file to ms294cle.xml (as it is called in 294). When I start the Navigator the lower Product Information field is empty and the course doesn't start.
If I then move the 294 files back into the TESTOUT directory and start the Navigator again, it also doesn't work anymore.
Please - what am I doing wrong???

Thankyou yen81!

Hi yen81, downloaded and installed 294 goes ok, did the file swith over stuff but when I try on 70 643 it says it can't locate the file MS294CLE.xml
??????? Any ideas, or has any one found this to work OK??????? Thanks all the same as some of this stuff works OK

big_bad_wolf_99 at 2009-08-28 06:51 CET:
tried it on 70 647 and does not go says cant find the file

big_bad_wolf_99 at 2009-08-28 07:38 CET:
OK stupid me... it does work. This is what I did.
1. Install 294 as normal. Installing to disk as in C: not running from disk
2. run it and make sure it goes OK... it will
3. delete the 5 files that yen81 says to delete
4. mount the 70 643 or what ever to POWER ISO or what ever. Copy the 5 folders to the c:/testout ..... basically to the location of the 294 stuff
5. now this is the bit I did wrong but goes now. Rename the file to ms294cle and it should already have the defult xml attached to it. so all I had to do was rename to ms294cle And nothing else. Run as you did for the 294.....
6. Enjoy.... thanks again yen81

This is solution for installing testout and running all simulations.

step 1:Mount the Iso and install the Labsim.

step 2:Go to H:\Testout\Outlines, where 'H:\' is ur mounted drive location.

step 3:Right click on the .xml file and select Open With, Browse to the C:\Program Files\TESTOUT\Orbis\Legacy and select LegacyXEng.exe and Open.

thanx to deepusanker
