Hey All,
I'm trying to do a fresh install of PowerHome 2.1b on Vista 64-bit Home Premium edition. The problem I'm running into is that the Adaptive Server Anywhere driver is not being installed when I install PowerHome. When I did the install as a test on XP, it installed the drive automatically. Any ideas on how to resolve this? I did a quick google search to see if I could find the driver elsewhere, but couldn't find anything.
Any ideas?
Thanks!
Matt

My Vista Home & Business editions have to have PH run in Administrator mode and XP emulation. Not familiar with 64 bit Vista but some of the same issues probably apply.

I believe you need a special build for a 64-bit OS. Dave should know more.

BeachBum,
Are you able to run PH under a user account that is of type administrator and just set PH to run in administrator mode with XP emulation or do you also have to run it from "the" administrator account? I have problems under Windows Server 2008 (which people tell me is similar to Vista) unless I run PH using the default administrator account even though my own account is part of the administrator group. Hopefully my question is clear.
Thanks,
-Dean

Dean, I run it with an Administrator account authority in Administrator Mode in XP Compatibility Mode with All Users selected. I also have UAC turned off. The combinations of all 4 seem to work for me. If I recall, the All Users is what allowed the Adaptive Server to load.

Thanks for the suggestions, I'll run it in Administrator Mode in XP Compatibility Mode tonight. I'm not sure if the 64 bit difference will cause problems either.
My original problem was that I was trying to run the database upgrade utility. I thought since the driver wasn't listed in the ODBC drivers, that was causing the problem. Turns out, the problem was that I was giving it the wrong path to the db  (Vista stuck an x86 in the Program Files directory name)
