It seems to install fine, but when I put password in it says somethign about the database driver. I noticed at the end of the installation it says middleware check failed.
Not sure if that is important or not. I compared it to the computer that came out and everything seems the same. I copied the BOmain.key over as well as the other file there, and still nothing.
Not sure what I am missing.

I last used 5.1.x on Windows 2000 but know it worked fined on XP 6.5 supported XP fine. XIr2 worked well on XP but I don't know if 5.1.9 works on Windows 7, especially if it's a 64-bit flavour. Current version I'm using: 4.1 SP3 over Oracle Next available for contract or consultancy work: Jan 2nd 2018 Prior versions used: BO3,4,5,6.5,XIr2,XI3, 4.1 - yes, I have been using BO since 1996!

Basically exported the keys out of the registry and edited the odbc.ini file under c: windows to add the entries that werent in there, rebooted the machine and bazinga. Display posts from previous: or to Post - Page 1 of 1 All times are GMT - 5 Hours Jump to: Get community updates via Twitter.
