Sorry if this posting is redundant but I'm still trying to get a database instance created using the DBM GUI wizard. I've had a few suggestions on what to do about the errors I'm getting from Marcin P, but none of them made any difference. I'll recap the issue:
After testing everything on my development server (Windows 2000) I'm ready to install my VB/ADO/ODBC/SAPDB application on my client's server (NT 4.00.1381). I downloaded all of the latest tools and database software. I used all of the defaults on the installation and did all of the work under the administrator's account. At first blush everything has seemed to install just fine. I did notice in the installation logs that I got the following error: "Can't open registry key "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\SAP\SAP DBTech": Invalid argument" quite often. Is this something I should be worried about or is it irrelevant?!?!? After making sure the services had started, I started up the SAP Database Manager and attempted to install a new database name BETA1 using the wizard. After entering the correct server name, username of administrator and password I get a DBM Wiz error message: "An error occurs by installing database 'BETA1' -24965 logon to system failed [user-system...]" Thinking that I obviously typed in something wrong for either of the 3 fields I rechecked everything and tried several more times with always the same results. I tried another user with admin permissions and got the same results. I am on the local server when trying to run the DBM GUI (that is, The same machine I've installed the SAPDB server is the same machine I'm trying to run DBM GUI on). I'm logged in as Administrator. I've changed the Service to run logged in as the Administrator. In short, I've tried (with my very limited NT 4 administration knowledge) to eliminate any permission issues that I know about. I desperately need to get this db installed and going and I'm confident I'm getting hung up on a very simple NT 4 permission setting somewhere. But with this information can you tell me what I need to do to get this db instance created and running?
