XP System Builder

Good catch Knubile. That's news to me. I guess because I'm running the older XPe SP2 eval it's named MantisSQLDB. Weird. LagunaICE: the only version available for download should be XPe SP2: http://msdn.microsoft.com/embedded/g...e/default.aspx

Great catch, I knew it had to be something like that. Gonna try it once I get home.

Can someone help me please

I cannot install the database. I have msde installed from the trial version and everytime I run the database setup wizard it fails saying it can't find certain files, yet if i browse the files that were downloaded then they are not there anyway.

I have all the files downloaded into G:\xpe and the error I get is something like:

"Cant find G:\xpe\windows embedded data\repositories\{some guid here}.cab"

but I don't have a folder called windows embedded data

I have tried re-downloading the files but it doesn't help.

I will try and post some screenshots. If you have any ideas, please let me know.

CANNT-GET-IT-WORKING

I have installed XPE w SP2 yesterday on single computer. Ihave copied XP System builder files onto same computer (specifically I have placed both files in newly created folder on desktop). After launching it and selecting i386 folder of my nLited WinXP dir, I get an error message "Cannt connect to SQl server...". Of course, SQL DE is running, I can open XPE Databaze manager and play with components...
I get this error no matter what databaze name I chose - MantisSQLDB or MantisSQLDBEval.
SF, do you have any clue of what could be wrong?

I get the same error as Laguna still unfortunatly. I checked your app in .NET config and I found a dependency on Accessibility, which I removed with Nlite so I thought that might cause the trouble, but now that i read Laguna's post (who as far as I can tell didn't Nlite his windows) I guess that's not that the case.

Right... I am running the program copied on uncripled WindowsXP SP2 Pro corporate install.

Hey guys, not sure if I'm reading correctly ? The problem is that the app wont run on XP which is nlited ???

I might be way off baises here and if I am ignore this post but if I'm not i'd love to try and help.

if your running on nlited xp systems and SQL server is running but it cannot "connect" sounds to me like a DTC (distributed transaction coo5rdinator) problem is that service installed/running on your machines ??

Hmmm... I'm guessing it's a security issue. Laguna, is your account part of the admin group? I'm using NT authentication to connect to the DB since I don't know what security mechanism MSFT uses in their tools. I'm sure they're using NT auth as well. I would assume since you can use the XPe tools then that it should be fine, but you never know.

Is everyone else having this problem or have other people been able to connect?

Yeah it's not completly transparent to me either how the logon/connection to the database works, I'm logged in as THE Administrator acciount tho, and the accesibility thing was silly of me, it was assembly dependency in .NET, not dependency on the more general accesibility features. You have to forgive me if I don't use the right lingo or say silly things..programming wise I have almost no experience in anything windows based. I think I am going to try using MS SQL server instead of the desktop tool, that might give me a clearer view on what's going on, don't anyone tell my friends in the MySQL camp
