Compatible with 2012?

[Marshall_IT]

I've just installed this on my 2012 server and when I try to start a new import and connect to my server it repeatable asks me for server and database details.

lease tell me I'm doing something very stupid.

 

I've tried database name as both just the instance name and server\instance

 

Thanks.

Yup, ok with Server 2012. I suspect it's the old redirect in the connect.ini problem again. I rewrote the code in v2 and I suspect I'm going to have to inject it into the v1.7 as I'm still not finished v2.

Hi, I'm having the same problem. I've updated the connect.ini file on my c drive to point directly to the server but it is still saying I need to enter the server and database names. I've also tried running it on the SIMS server with no luck.

 

Thanks

I'm also running it on the sims server.

I've got it now, I found a number of connect.ini files in different folders and finally found the one that worked. Thanks

Which one worked and was this on a client of the server?

[Blackcatowner]

On the client it was in this folder C:\Program Files (x86)\SIMS\SIMS .net

[Marshall_IT]

Getting this error now.

You got SIMS .net installed ok on the machine?

 

Is the SIMS.INI - got the right path to the application?

[Marshall_IT]

Sims is installed.

 

64 bit server.

 

I'll check the sims.ini file, where will it be?

You know it doesn't need to run on the server right? Runs on any SIMS .net client Edited July 4, 2014 by matt40k

I know, I don't have my own windows machine at the moment. I'm running it on my terminal services ever at the moment.

 

I guess I'm just tired... I'll have a look at it again another day.

It's too hot to work and it's Friday. Go get a pint.
