Dr Watson Error when installation of Client Sybase
- Thread starter dummyspy
- Start date
If I remember correctly WIN2k was a very locked down OS. One of the least flexible OS's they've put out. Did it fail during a regular client install or were you installing the Sybase manually from the disk?
I remember an issue with the DAO(Database Access Objects)drives being older than the ones already on the system. There was a certain issue of the DAO that wouldn't work with the Symposium Sybase Drivers. I think symposium required 3.50 or less and pretty much anytime you loaded Microsoft Office Suite it updated you past 3.50.
That was with much earlier editions of Symposium though. If you haven't tried loading the Sybase software manually I would try that. If you have, try working with a clean system and load symposium before anything else. That should allow for the dll's to update properlly as the drivers get updated with other applications.

I used to be in the same boat - a trick I learnt was to copy the ASE12clt folder from the install CD locally to the client (pending on user rights try this logged in as an admin), run the setup from the client then continue as normal with your symposium install.
Works for me every time![[bigglasses]](/data/assets/smilies/bigglasses.gif "[bigglasses] [bigglasses]")

Hi,
last idea is the good one - had same problem on SCCS client.
There was a bug on Pentium IV with W2K, too, and which was giving the same problem, during the Sybase installation.
You had to change the JRE release to 1.1, in the Sybase subdirectory (after making a copy of the original directory on harddrive).
Hope it will help.
Good afternoon

The problem with P4 W2K was resolved with Client revision 6.2. Part number NT9F43AE, March 2003.
