Hi Jeffrey,

first of all, thanks a lot for your reply.

Yes, I'm aware of that, but that wasn't really my point. My point was
whether or not these hot fixes are really *required* for a smooth
operation of OpenAFS 1.5.68 on a Win XP SP3 (32 bit) system. Are they?

Thanks for sharing this. It seems to me that I got the same error as
if the loopback device was installed from the OpenAFS installer.
Here's the transcript of the install session ("instloop -i"):

Any idea as to what the problem might be? Was the loopback adapter perhaps =
already
installed and I simply wasn't aware of that?

If so, how can I skip this step when invoking the OpenAFS installer
(just in order to avoid this error the next time)?

Thanks in advance & kind regards,

       Holger
