SharePoint Explorer for WSS3

I learned that Patrick once again promoted our free SharePoint Explorer tool. This time on the Microsoft European SharePoint Conference 2007 in Berlin this week. Thanks Patrick

SharePoint Explorer has until now only been available for SharePoint 2003. But I once recompiled it for 2007 and sent Patrick a copy, which is the one he showed in Berlin. So now I better make it available to all of you.

You can download it here: SharePointExplorer_V1_5_1_For_WSS3.zip

**UPDATE March 9th 2007: Fixed bug where SharePoint Explorer failed to launch at all.

INSTALLATION
The zip archive contains a single EXE file that you must run directly on your WSS V3 server. The tool does not support remote connections to WSS servers,

IMPORTANT NOTES
The tool is just a recompile of our existing tool for SharePoint 2003. It does therefore not include any support for all the new cool features in the object model like features, content types, event handlers, workflow, recycle bin, etc. The tool is only good for exploring Virtual Servers, Site Collections, Sites, Lists and Files.

I am, however, working on a new and much better version that will recognize the new stuff in the object model. It will additionally also allow for remote access, which has been the #1 feature request since we released the first version for SharePoint 2003.

Hi,
I have a problem with your chm file. I wanted to check your app because it looks good but i don't know how to use it right now.
When I open your chm file there is only one page shown - Navigation to the webpage was canceled

What you can try:
Retype the address.

I thing it is coused by absolute URLs used there - but this just my opinion.
I use Win Vista Ultimate, IE 7. I opened it from C drive, My documents, Downloads - same result.
Thanks a lot for help.

There is no CHM file included in the ZIP with SharePoint Explorer for WSS3. There is only an EXE file there.

Hi Lars,

I wanted to download the previous version of SharePoint Explorer, but couldn't find it. Where can I download the old (WSS2.0) version?

# re: SharePoint Explorer for WSS3

Hi

This is a great tool. Very useful for us. A limitation we found when we tried to update some values for a field in a fields collection but it doesn't seem to recognise the change of value and thus enable the update button.

Is this a simple bug that could be fixed or is there any news on the next version?

Thanks,

Iain

Thank you for this - very useful.

One strange problem I found was that it doesn't appear to display survey lists?

# re: SharePoint Explorer for WSS3

I put I but i on the server 2003 box that has WSS3 installed on it -- brand new install two weeks ago. My account on there is local admin. I tried several locations and this is what I get every time:

"Windows cannot access the specified device, path or file. You may not have the appropriate permissions to access the item."

I know sharepoint is here and working, I can go into the admin module with no problem.

Another tool made available by Mondosoft. This tool was originally available for Share Point 2003, this version is a recompile that does not yet offer any access to new functionality like features and event handlers.
