Title: Need walkthru to loan DBA Classic on new Win 7
Post by dbldharris on 08/27/10 at 09:46:28

Hi all!

We just got 5 brand new machines loaded with Win 7 that I am preparing to put into service. We also have a laptop that was upgraded to Win 7 and loaded DBA classic on..running Pervasive 2000i. Initially, had Betreive 11 error on laptop, but ran as admin took care of issue.

I went through the process on the first machine of loading Pervassive as admin and then loaded to workstation setup on the first new machine. When I load DBA, I am getting the same Betreive error.

I think I might have done the initial load wrong....can someone please walk me through what exactly needs to be done. Any idiot proofing would be much appreciated!

Thanks!
Lauren

On most machines I have had to install Pervasive client twice to get it to work. No idea why. I know that I install as admin the first time, but when I do the same a second time it starts working. I am also using 2000i.

I don't have to reinstall the desktop again though, right? I also get an error that it can't find the "sample" to test on, but if I tell it to ignore it says it loaded fine.

Thanks...I will try again.
