Thanks for your r:eply Razzak.
The first installation attempt was indeed an incorrect "full
installation" from a VPN remote workstation targeting an RBASE95 folder
on the remote server. The VPN was slow, so rather than rerun the
install again, we shipped the 9.5 installation CD to be onsite.
With the RB CD on-site, I ran the installation from a workstation on the
LAN and did select "Server Installation" (per section 2.5) from the
components dialog, targeting the same RBASE95 folder on the server. The
installation was incomplete as mentioned below.
I then did an uninstall from the Control Panel and manually deleted all
9 files from the RBASE95 folder, then tried to install again - without
success.
There are no error messages during installation, although the
installation goes pretty quickly - commensurate with the number of files
found in the RBASE95 folder.
Any other clues for the blues?
Thanks much,
Doug

Hi All - I tried to do a RB 9.5_32 server (Winserver 2008)
installation to a
mapped network drive from a Win XP workstation via Ultra VNC
remote-support
but only 9 files copied.
I was logged in as "user" with administrator rights. (Security
issues, I
know, but right now just want to get RB installed).
I created the desktop shortcut using "Send To" desktop as shortcut
and added
the "-a" after the exe.
Error message is "Cannot load RBEngine95_32.dll" - because it isn't
in the
installation directory.
Any clues for the blues? i.e. Why didn't all the files get installed?
Doug,
When provided with the options of the "Components" dialog of the
installation
process, did you select the "Server Installation"?
When choosing the Server Installation, all files are installed into the
selected Destination Folder. The Server Installation is the typical
installation choice for network administrators and developers that want
R:BASE installed upon a centralized location within a local area network.
It is beneficial to use this method when there are a great number of
users
which will be launching the R:BASE software. Another benefit is that when
applying R:BASE updates, there is only one installation to be updated,
other
than updating every workstation individually.
More detailed instructions are available within the R:BASE eXtreme
Getting
Started Guide. Using the following link, you can open the PDF file in
your
Internet browser, or download the file to your computer:

In your specific situation, specifically refer to the "Server
Installation"
chapter, starting with Page 10, Section 2.5.
Hope that provides you with some blue's clues ...
Have fun!
Very Best R:egards,
Razzak.
