running PSQL 9 in the XP-VM within Windows 7

[nmm]

Hi,

we tried to install PSQL 9.7 single seat in the XP-VM from Win 7 (pro).
The installation runs without error.
After installation changes of setting in the controlcenter are ignored
without comment: one can change them, but the change will not saved.
Even if on restart the VM imidiately after changing the old setting is
again active.
So I change the setting directly in the registry: I shitch off "using
remote engine". But althought now the tag in the PCC is not set, the
problem remains:

The problm is: I have mapped the harddrive of the Win7 host as a
networkdrive in the VM. If I access files on thet drive from within
the VM I get btreive-Error 11: so I supposed, turning remote access
off, the file will be opened using the local engine.
Therfore I want to change this setting in the PCC with the result
described above. But even with remote switched off, I get error 11.

Is there anything known, why the changes in PCC are ignored and how I
can access files on a netword unsing local engine?

btw: in the host there is no PSQL installed.

For the settings: I already tried to add the default-VM-XP-user to the
group Pervasive_Admin, and also using the user Adminsitrator itself:
no success: changes in PCC are ignored.

Regards
Mircea

The issue is that you are not "really" running a VM -- you are running a
Remote Desktop Window INTO a VM. For this, then, you'll need to follow
all of the rules for Remote Desktop:

1) You need access to run things from an RDP session in v9. Go to
HKLM\Software\Pervasive Sofwtare\Utilities Interface\Settings and change
the Restricted Access on WTSClient key from 1 to 0 (unrestricted).
2) Since your install was ALSO done from RDP, you are missing some key
databases in the PCC, like DEMODATA, DEFAULTDB, TEMPDB, and
PERVASIVESYSDB. You will either need to create these manually, or
better yet, just remove PSQLv9 (without deleting the registry key you
just changed) and reinstall it.
