Problem Installing Informix Dynamic Server
The original poster installed the Try&Buy Informix Dynamic Server 7.30 for NT and got a blue screen while using IECC; Command Center then hung on a splash screen, and reinstalling failed because liblocal.dll could not be deleted. Bashar Chalabi said IECC is unstable and Informix support would recommend Service Pack 5. Paul advised checking the server was online and stopping and restarting the two IECC services. No confirmed fix.

I downloaded a Try&Buy version of Informix Dynamic Server V7.30 for NT. I installed it on an NT Server. The install seemed to go ok, but after a short time of investigating IECC, I got a blue screen. After this when I started the Command Center, a task seemed to start, but it would not it was a ghost task, just showing a splash screen and never opening the application. Since then I have tried to uninstall, and install again, without success. The problem seems to revolve around a file: \\ism\\1.00\\bin\\liblocal.dll This file cannot be deleted, and I cannot determine what process is running it. The install program tries to overwrite it, and fails. If anyone can lend some insight about this file, and my problem I would appreciate it. - Neal Sent via Deja.com http://www.deja.com/ Share what you know. Learn what you don't.
IECC is known to be unstable, specially if it sees a remote database server. If you ask Informix tech support, they will tell you that you need Service Pack 5 to make it stable. I have personally not tried SP5 due to all the headache we got with SP4. -- Bashar Chalabi CTL, London nealgran@my-deja.com wrote in message <7m5knb$jn4$1@nnrp1.deja.com>... >I downloaded a Try&Buy version of Informix Dynamic Server V7.30 for NT. >I installed it on an NT Server.

1.try to know is your database system is on-line from informix command prompt or [ control panel]->[services]. 2.Use [services] to stop two servies name begin with IECC and then restart them. <nealgran@my-deja.com> wrote in message news:7m5knb$jn4$1@nnrp1.deja.com... > I downloaded a Try&Buy version of Informix Dynamic Server V7.30 for NT. > I installed it on an NT Server.
