Hi all,

I encounter a problem doing a fresh install of BaanIVc4. Downloaded the latest Master CD. My setup: 2 (virtual) servers running MS Windows 2008 R2. SQL Server 2008 installed on one server, SQL Client tools installed and trying to install BaanIV on the other server. At the point in the setup proces where the database should be accessed an error message appears: "Unable to connect to the database server", and then "Connect to database server CNHS-025 failed".
At first I thought it had something to do with the fact that the database is on another server, so I tried creating the database locally, but with the same result. No matter what value I enter for the database server (even a bogus name), it always gives me the same error message. This is what the logfile says:

20-8-2010[10:15:33(UTC-02:00)]:W:baan: WARNING - ttbsi.001311: Log message: Connect to database server CNHS-025 failed
20-8-2010[10:15:33(UTC-02:00)]:W:baan: WARNING - ttbsi.001311: Log message: CoCreateInstance failed SQLServer

20-8-2010[10:15:33(UTC-02:00)]:W:baan: WARNING - ttbsi.005012: Unable to connect to the database server.
20-8-2010[10:15:56(UTC-02:00)]:W:baan: WARNING - Unable to connect to the database server.

Is there someone out there who can help me?
Thanks!

Check whether portingset support your DB version - SQL Server 2008.

Hi all,

Problem is solved, thanks to Han for pointing me in the right direction. I had the SQL Server Compatibility pack installed on the database server, but not on the application server. After installing it there as well the problem was solved....

Thanks,

Nick

Hello nick66,

i have the same problem. what is the "SQL Server Compatibility pack". is ist a software from infor or a addon from sqlserver ???

Hi Homer-J,

It is the Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Backward Compatibility pack, you can download it here: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/en/details.aspx?familyid=50b97994-8453-4998-8226-fa42ec403d17&displaylang=en

I think the one you need is "SQLServer2005_BC.msi".

Hello Nick66,

thank you verry much, the problem ist solved. Installation is running :-)

Hello Everyone,

I am trying to install BaanIV on windows 2008 server with MS SQL Server 2008 R2 Express Edition. While connecting to the database it is giving me error like "Wrong version on database".
Anybody had come across the same kind of problem? Do let me know if any solution is there?

Regards
Dharam

Hi Dharam,

is Express Edition supported by the portingset you are using ?
Please check the Technical Notes.
