Hi to all, I am experimenting difficulties on the process of setup the Informix IDS 11.10. During the installation I got the following sequence of errors: Snmp OnSrvapd 1 - Informix SNMP Service could not be setup initinstance 1 - Failed to set up IDS Message Service as Windows Service initinstance 2 - IDS Message Service failed to start I tried only to install one instance on the machine!!!! When I clicked with mouse on Ok at last dialogue box the next error appeared: Unable to launch C:\\Program Files\\IBM\\IBM Informix Dynamic Server\\11.10\\bin\\instmgr.exe I tried to run the file instmgr.exe with a double click on it at the Windows Explorer and there I got the following error: Te image file C:\\Program Files\\IBM\\IBM Informix Dynamic Server\\11.10\\bin\\instmgr.exe is valid, but is for a machine type other than the current machine. I am using the 32 bit version. I tried also to do a typical setup without changing any parameter but the same error appeared. I am installing the IDS on a Siemens Primergy TX150 S6 with Windows Server 2003 R2 Standard Edition with Service Pack 2. Has anyone had this problem? May anyone please help me to find a solution? Best regards, Pedro Ivo

Thanks Fernando. It doesn't seems so. I'm using the package C122BNA.zip. The 64 bit is the C1VU4NA.zip, isn't it?
