Hi,
Our company is developing programs, which make of use MS
SQL Server databases (SQL Server 7.0 SP3). The setup of
these programs have to install MSDE 1.0 and SQL Server 7.0
SP3, as neccessary. Our problems originate from these installations:
1. During MSDE or SP3 setup under Windows 9x or Windows Me
the following error message may occur: 'System error.
The file you are trying to open is already in use by
another program. Quit the other program, and then try
again.', although there isn't any application running.
Pressing 'Retry' the setup continues, but this symptom
may occur several times during the setup procedure.
This problem, even on the same computer & configuration,
is poorly reproducible.
2. Under Windows95 after the SQL Server Desktop Edition or
the MSDE 1.0 installation the SQL Server 7.0 SP3 setup
fails, if the Regional Settings is Hungarian or for
example Czech, but if it is German or Spanish, then
everything is OK. This phenomenon is clearly
reproducible on several computers. The error message
is: 'Setup was unable to validate your password. Press
Retry to re-enter your password or press Cancel to exit
out of setup.'
The MSDE 1.0 and SP3 setup programs are launched in silent
mode from our install programs as follows:
MSDE 1.0 : setupsql.exe -s -SMS -f1"unatt.iss"
SP3/Win9x: setupsql.exe sapwd= k=SMS -s -m -z -SMS -f1
"setup9x.iss"
SP3/NT: setupsql.exe NTAuthentication=1 k=SMS -s -m -z -SMS
-f1"setup.iss"
Any help would be appreciated.
Regards,
Szilard Peto
