Strange issue with Asset Images

[gyen]

We recently migrated our Intellitrack database (5.2 w/SQL) to a standalone machine from a network setup.  Everything went smoothly until we got to the pictures.  I didn't see an easy way to change thousands of picture location pointers via the application so I wrote a simple SQL script to change the AssetImage field in the Asset Details table.  This did not help and in fact gave me the attached error message.  At a loss, I tried importing a gif image and it worked.  So I used a tool to convert our images to gifs and ran a SQL script to change the Asset Image extensions to gif.  The error then began occuring with gif images.  Strange.

I thought I was missing a reference somewhere so I tried rolling things back, restored the SQL Server from backup and re-installed the workstation app.  And this message still appears for JPGs and GIFs, as if I've "broken" the application's ability to recognize these two file types (the only place I haven't looked is the registry).  But I can manually convert any image to a BMP and place it in the same folder, and manually import it with the application and it will work.

Any ideas?

Thanks.

I found out the root of the issue.  This fix might be handy for others who are trying to install Intellitrack locally and on a fresh install of Windows XP without any versions of Office.

It had nothing to do with the SQL script and was a result of Office specific image converters being missing from a fresh XP install.  The converters can be found here: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=CF196DF0-70E5-4595-8A98-370278F40C57&displaylang=en
