We have updated the installation guide with instructions on how to do this.

I have faced the exact same problem.

"The file is in use do you want to open a read-only copy instead. I cannot then overwrite the original after making changes to the read-only version."

The work around for that would be save the ExpenseReport2.xsn file on the local machine, work on it for Task3 (Adding Active Directory look up) and then later update the DAT tool with the file stored locally on your machine.

Brilliant

Thank you Jim and all. Think I should go out and buy a Win 2003 server to MAKE it work....

Maybe I could claim it on expenses!

Thanks again

Adam

We have identified this as a problem where DBXL is installed on a machine that is not a member of a domain. We are investigating workarounds.

Hi Jim

As stated below I have IIS 5.1 so no web service extensions. I have reinstalled and the database has the required tables, the web service is up and running seemingly very well but I still have the same problem editing the .XSN in the configuration by typing in the URL http://<server>/QDabraWebService/Forms/Expense2/Template.xsn as mentioned in the getting started guide.

I get the file is in use do you want to open a read-only copy instead. I cannot then overwrite the original after making changes to the read-only version.

Nice to be back with the install again (which stated it installed successfully, so heres hoping)

does anyone know what is going on?

I hope so, thanks in advance

Thanks Jim

Will do this later. Can you tell form the installstate why my initial installation went wrong?

I am at a loss as to what i did incorrectly in the install that caused it not to work, can you help?

Thanks again

Adam

I have sent you an updated installstate file from a working XP Professional install modified slightly to reflect your machinename. This should allow you to avoid the error you are seeing and run the uninstall.

Please follow the below steps:1) View the IIS properties for QdabraWebService. Make sure the ASP.NET version indicates 2.0.507272) Make sure that the 'Application Protection' is set to 'High (Isolated)' on the Virtual Directory tab.3) Try uninstalling DBXL4) If uninstall fails, copy the attached Qdabra.DBXL.Installer.InstallState file over the existing one (backup your copy first) under /QdabraWebService/install/

5) Try to uninstall again

The error about the App pool can be ignored, as IIS 5.1 does not support application pools.

Under \inetpub\wwwroot\QdabraWebService\install\, you should find a file named Qdabra.DBXL.Install.InstallState.

Please email this file to Support@qdabra.com

This is also preventing un-install to try again with the install, really want to get further with this product, anyone got any good ideas?

Hi Adam,

What version of .NET do you have installed on that machine?

Many thanks for all your help so far
