Hello all,

We have another Windows client that is failing with Vss errors but these
errors are different from the previous errors has anyone experienced
these type errors? Also, does anyone  know if theWindows 5.5.1 client
addresses these issues once and for all? I have not read any anywhere
that it does I could be wrong..

Thanks in advance for any responses!
