Doug:
A few thoughts: 1. Not for the inexperienced or unwary: Have you examined the registry for trash left behind by Add/Remove? Have you asked RBTI if this may be a factor? 2. Also, a User with "administrative rights" is not necessarily an "Administrator". A direct Administrator logon will answer that; 3. Is there an anti-virus or "security suite" running on the server? It might be doing it's job. Good hunting.

I "uninstalled" it via Add/Remove Programs (there was nothing to uninstall, so I opted to remove RB95 from the the uninstall menu), deleted the 9 files from the network subdirectory and checked security permissions - all are there, incl Full Control. Deleted the subdirectory and created a new one with a different name. Tried another Server Install but again, only 9 files were written. RBuninstall doesn't do anything. Bad installation CD? (Obviously a desperation question :) Any blues clues news? TIA, Doug On 11/12/2013 11:48 AM, Doug Hamilton wrote: Nope, no rbengine95_32.dll on the server or local C: drive.

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?
