Database error on fresh install

OK, uninstalled PVD then firebird, rebooted. Installed firebird in default and PVD as full install.

Tried to start PVD and got a new error about Visual C libraries. I remembered that it looked like there was something to do with these in the updated embedded client zip you posted earlier, so I re-copied the contents of the zip to the PVD directory.

Although this got rid of the Visual C error , unfortunately, non of this worked fully and we are now back at the beginning with the same error!

swinster:
Ah ha. With some pointer form here and the MC forum , I believe we have got somewhere.

Is is possible that PVD doesn't like UDF file names? My "My Docs" folder is re-directed to a server share and referenced via a UDF path name. If I actually try to create a new DB on a local HDD, then finally I can get PDV to work.

I don't believe its a permissions thing. The PVD data folder in "My Docs" was created by the PVD installation, and permissions are inherited, so full access is granted.

Reply here.

When using PVD locally the database must be on the same PC, if it is not you need to have a firebird server on the remote PC.

Ah...that makes sense. ;)
