Hi,
I'm installing BaaN IV server on windows 2003 server and sqlserver 2005. While installation an error occurs:
received from ipc_boot: 'can't get server info for bshell.inst'
Error: bw failed to connect to SCS!bshell.inst

what is the root cause??
Please help.

thanks in advance

Did you check your ipc_info file? (info on what is it here: http://www.baanboard.com/baanboard/showthread.php?t=16623&highlight=bshell.inst)
If all is ok, check that the directory where ipc_info is and to where its entries point to are accessible to the Baan service.

can you connecting in database by sql server console if yes verify permissions

Also, if you are installing using remote desktop, you must use the /console flag to launch remote desktop, or use a different remote desktop utility such as VNC. Baan shared memory does not play well with standard RDP.
