Interesting problem. NT doesn't use flat files, but rather Jet Engine ( the
DB for Access. ) As the NT product is a rather simple install, the pre-reqs
are usually the only thing that will kill an install. Some of the guys from
support
may jump in here and state me wrong, though. Make sure that the installing user
has read/write privileges on all the directories that NV writes to. Also make
sure
that SP3 was the last thing you installed. Is the user account a member of the
NT Administrators group? Try bringing up a cmd window. If you have Tivoli
installed, then run bash ( for the UNIX geeks ) and run ovstart from
c:\usr\ov\bin.
Run ovstatus after that and find out which daemons didn't run. It still looks
like
a permissions problem, so make sure the user installing/running has the proper
permissions. Email me direct if this doesn't fix the prob.

Hello, folks;
We are trying to install NV 5.1 NT for testing purposes only. As we are not NT
guys, we have problems: cannot
install
the program successfuly. On the box there is WinNT 4.0 Server SP3 with MS SQL
6.5 and also with Access. The
machine is
also a PDC of a one-machine domain. SNMP agent is installed and running. The
installation always crashes at the
point
when NV is attempting to start owvdb. This happens anytime be it installed with
MS SQL or not. The following is
a piece
of the install log:
Ovstart was unable to start ovwdb successfully.
Creating/Updating the ovwdb database failed.
Ovstart return status: 1
Starting NetView service and daemons...Error starting NetView service,
error=1075
How can we select that we want to use flat file databases or MS SQL explicitly?
We did not find any relevant
piece of
information touching this issue in the Release Notes.
Please, would anyone amongst you get us in the right direction?
Thanks in advance,
Vladimir.
