Hi all!
I am hoping someone can help me.....we have DBA Classic vs. 2000.2 and have loaded it on a PC running Win 7 Pro-32 bit.  We have confirmation that the software installed correctly and the database was installed correctly.  However, when we go to run the program, we get an Betrieve 11 error and the program shuts down.
 
Can someone please explain what is happening and how we can possibly fix it?  I don't know what other info you need...hit me and I will find it out.  We are looking to upgrade a bunch of PC's and if we can't get DBA to run on Win 7, well I will probably just go cry in a corner.  
 
Thanks in advance!!!

I am also running on Win 7 but with Pervasive 10 rather than 2000i (which is no longer supported but as Colin says, can be made to work).  You do need to use the Right Click - Run as Administrator when installing Pervasive but if you are upgrading workstations, there is no DBA to install.  The workstations should be looking to the server for DBA.  If this is the station that will be acting as the DBA server, then simply copy the DBAMFG folder from the current location and share with full controil for all users.

I don't know why you would have been unable to load DBA and Pervasive 2000 to a Win 2003 server; we have hundreds of users who are or have used that platform.  The newer Pervasive 10 is the one officially supported for Windows 7 and 2008 but Pervasive 2000i should be fine on Windows 2003 server.  What problems did you have?   There is really no "installation" of DBA at all.  Simply install Pervasive and copy the DBAMFG folder to the new server from the old one.
 
The updates that we have available for DBA are changes to the program functions themselves, not operating system related.  It is the Pervasive that is the issue relating to different versions of Windows OS.  And of course we have Evo-ERP that moves DBA Classic into a Windows environment without having to retrain people and lose any historical data.  Consider that alternative before investing in a completely new system and spending $$$$$$ and losing all your history.

Ok guys!  I am getting the error AGAIN...but these are on our brand new machines and I am loading DBA for the first time....so here is what I did....
 
 I went into our network where DBA is loaded and went to the Pervassive file.  Found the SETUP.EXE file and ran it as distributor.  One thing I noticed was that it told me it couldn't find SAMPLE data, but when I removed the sample at the end of the location it was able to test and told me that everything was working correctly.  I then went to the Workstation set up file and ran that SETUP.EXE file as administrator, and it loaded fine.
 
When I go to run DBA, it gives me the Btrieve 11 error.  
 
With the other laptop that was running 7, as soon as I ran the Pervassive setup file as admin, that fixed the problem and it is running fine.
 
SO WHAT DID I DO WRONG...or what am I missing?
 
Thanks!

Have you been able to confirm what version of Pervasive you're running on the server?
 
Have you installed the same version on your workstations?
 
In your initial post you said "We have confirmation that the software installed correctly..."  Can you explain the confirmation?
 
Please forgive me if you've already answered - i just glanced at the thread and jumped in.
