Subject Running IB from CD-ROM
Author Klaus-Peter.Buchhold@Dresdner-Bank.com
Hello ib's,

I've got the following problem. I try to run the Interbase server
6.01 only from cdrom. I took all files from the installation-
directory of an usual pc-installation (NT 4.0) and put them on a cd (
The isc4.gdb on the cd-rom was set on "read only = true").
Then I
tried to run the cd on a pc (Windows NT 4.0) where no Interbase-
Server was installed. Before executing the IBConsole I copied the
gds32.dll into the server bin-directory and ran the instreg-file
under DOS to set the installation path in the registry on the cdrom
drive. The isc4.gdb on the cd-rom was set on "read only =
true".
Then I started the IBConsole from cdrom. When I tried to
register "Local server" I got the following error message:

"Error logging into the requested server."
"Can not attach to password database."

Then I tried to make a "Diagnose Connection" to "Local
Server".
As database I specified the isc4.gdb on the cdrom. The Result of
the "Diagnose Connection" was:

"An InterBase error has occured while attaching."
"Error - operating system directive CreateFile failed."
"Zugriff wurde verweigert."
"Interbase communication test failed".


What can I do to make it run from cd?


With friendly regards
