Hi Adam!

Glad to hear you overcame the installation difficulty. XP Home definitely won't work and we need to update our Setup Guide to clearly state that (I'm very sorry to say that it currently just says Windows XP). We will update the document soon and also add specifics for Vista. In the future we should probably also have the installer detect the OS and prevent installation if it is incompatible.

Thanks

Hello

Just a quick note to all you guys to thank you for your patience and time. I have learned my lesson and installed DBXL on my XP Pro machine and the install went both smoothly and quickly. I think the reason for XP Home not working is its lack of NT security and it is this lack (I think) that prevents installation of DBXL on any home machine.

Thanks again

Adam

Jim Thanks for all your help so far. XP Home is not suitable due to the lack of security, am going to format my XP Pro PC and use that instead, least I have a fighting chance with that one! Cheers

Thanks Again Jim The SQL Server 2005 Express is on the local machine I have already set up ASPNET with Sysadmin priviledges through SSMSE, I think that something else is going on?!?!?! Cheers

You will need to give the ASPNET account permissions to the DBXL database. Give the ASPNET account sysadmin permission. This assumes the database is on the local machine.

Jim I ran the aspnet_regiis -ga ASPNET and now get the following errors in full: Error: creating app pool For more information, see Help and Support Center at http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/events.asp. and Error initializing DBXL database. Unable to connect to the remote server For more information, see Help and Support Center at http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/events.asp. More detail: The target actively refused the connection. so getting closer but am unsure as to how to fix this one, have you any ideas? Many thanks

Hi I think so as there is only one account on this machine and that has full administritive rights or am I not clear on something? Thanks

The referenced kb article in the IIS error suggests using aspnet_regiis -ga <WindowsUserAccount>. Where WindowsUserAccount is the account running, which should be ASPNET in your case.

Quick check: are you running as Administrator?

David I bow to your greater wisom :-) I think the XP Pro thing could just be down to IIS but cant prove it either way just yet, am doing something wrong but am not sure what. Any ideas? Thanks

You could try that.

You are using the Network Service?

Is the Database getting installed?

Is the AppPool getting created?

Some of these you can check before you finish the install and the rollback occurs.

Have you verified IIS is serving webpages?

If you are using XP Home than you are using a hack to get IIS to run, not sure if that may cause some additional issues or not.

The error usually has to do with IIS and .Net.

.Net 3.0 should be fine to try as well.
