Printbrmui.exe not found, Printmangement.msc not found

In Windows XP, I used the printer migrator program to copy printer settings
from one workstation to another. in Vista, you now use Printbrmui.exe

When I try this, it tells me that I do not have printer administrative
rights. How do I set that up? I have read that I need to install a
printserver role? if so how?

Also, from the control panel > administrative functions > if I click on
Printmanager, I am told that the path to printmanager.msc is not found. how
can I get this installed.
I have the business OEM edition (upgrade from XP)
thanks!
 
Alan, thank you for the quick response.
Yes, all those files are present in the right places. However even if I go
to the system32 folder and click directly on printmanagement.msc I guet
"c\windows\system32\printmanagment.msc - The specified path does not exist.
check the path and then try again." is there a path variable somewhere I may
fix?

Also any ideas on the Printbrmui.exe program, when I run it and indicate
that I want to back up the local machine, it says "migration of print server
information requires administrator priviledges on the print server"- which I
should have.

Any thoughts greatly appreciated!
Jim

actually this now looks like a bigger overall system path problem: if I go to
my computer properties and try to look at the advanced system settings, I
similary get ".....\systempropertiesadvanced.exe the specified path does not
exist. I guess I need a back door way to set the system path in the
registry????

printbrmui needs to run in an elevated session. I normally start this in an
elevated cmd window (or from Print Management, err).

in an elevated command window type
SET


look through the path information

SET command does work, and shows a path to include \system32 etc
appropriately. now I am really stuck. I cannot figure out why Vista cannot
find these programs. thanks though...

SOLUTION:
Ok. Vista could find and run, from an elevated cmd prompt PrintBrmUi.exe. It
could NOT find printmanagement.msc though. so it is an association problem
with *.msc files.

The Pathext= line does not show msc. I retyped it using
SET PATHEXT= [retyped all];.MSC
That let me run those MSC programs, but did NOT save the change on reboot.
so, I did that again, and then when to Computer> Properties > advanced system
settings (which would now run but would not before) > Environment variables >
and added it to the PATHEXT variable there. I think that will do it now.
will keep you all posted.
