ACC2: Workstation Setup Option Not Available with DEC Pathworks

ID: Q116064

The information in this article applies to:

SYMPTOMS

Moderate: Requires basic macro, coding, and interoperability skills.

The Workstation Installation option is not available when you are trying to set up a workstation after setting up a DEC Pathworks server using the SETUP /A command.


RESOLUTION

To work around this behavior, place a semicolon (;) at the beginning of the following line in the [MS Setup (ACME) Table File] section of your WIN.INI file: 


   MSACCESS.EXEv2.00.0010.0USA=C:\ACCESS\SETUP\setup.stf


MORE INFORMATION

When you try to set up a network installation of Microsoft Access to a DEC Pathworks workstation that already has Microsoft Access installed locally, the local Setup always runs, even though you are connected to a server and running Setup from a shared network directory.

Steps to Reproduce Behavior


  1. Install Microsoft Access locally on a DEC Pathworks workstation.


  2. From the workstation, install Microsoft Access to a DEC Pathworks server using the SETUP /A command.


  3. Connect to the server from the workstation and run Setup from the server. Instead of the Setup screen that you expect, the installation maintenance program screen appears.
