M2M on Win7 x64

[Rod Keller]

I have installed M2M 5.60 on a few new computers running Win7 64bit without problem. I just brought up a new machine that runs M2M when logged in as a domain admin but has the following error when logged as a normal user:

"Made2manage is unable to open the required database container messages.dbc in I:\m2m\m2mdata\"

I have tried to add specific user permissions to the mapped drive I:\ but nothing shakes it loose. Any ideas?

[Anthony Agpaoa]

Dont know what cuases this but happens to me periodically.

Usually re-installing Client , then installing SQL agent 64 bit  (sqlncli_x64.msi)  from  m:\m2mdata\srvpck  directory 

IF you dont have the file there, just download from microsoft the latest ones.

Usually works for me.   Sometimes I have to uninstall client first and delete m2m.ini file if it's particularly troublesome.

[Brent Marcus]

Grant specific permission to M2MWin.INI in the Windows folder for “Full Control” to the “Everyone” group – just the single file, not the folder.

 

Then grant full control to the M2M program directory, (C:\program files (x86)\Made2Manage) and finally make sure that the user has a temporary path set up in M2M such as “C:\temp” and that they have full rights.

 

M2M writes to the INI, it also modifies tables in the program directory, and it must be able to write temporary files for cursors and scratch work.

 

This should take care of the issue.

No amount of permission changes gets rid of the error. It is obviously a permission problem otherwise M2M would not run when the computer is logged in by a domain admin. Frustrating.

I was hoping changing permissions  on m2m.ini would do the trick.  but stilla problem for me.

Actually my own PC gets this problem every time I reboot. I have to unisntall M2M client ,  reinstall client  and then install SQL client  to get rid of it   until next reboot. 

Fortunately, my PC is usually on all the time as it runs maintenance and backup routines.

 I also mainly run M2M through a VFP  which NEVER gets this error even though no permissions have changed on this machine.

[Keller,Rod]

Even reinstalling the client did not fix this machine. I have to say that Win7 sucks.

Did you install sqlcni_64.msi ?  that's the final missing link that fixes it  for me .

Yes, still no joy. I have to log into Win7 as administrator to run M2M.

Are the users local admins on the workstation? That may help.

Bad idea for Any user to be local admins on the workstations. Appropriate permissions on correct files is all thats needed: I allow everyone to write into the made2manage program directory and m2mwin.ini under \windows, and thats it. Too many bugs out there to allow anyone full admin access on their machines.

 

-Ray

[Brent Marcus]

I agree Ray, which was my first suggestion. However, Rod indicated that users still could not use the system. I too have found three spots that must be permitted, M2MWin.ini, the Made2Manage directory, AND the temporary directory.

 

But as a stop gap, making the user a local admin can help to trouble shoot the issue. IF they can use M2M after being made an LA, then some file or folder is being hit that is not on the usual list. Checking file opens in Computer Management can track it down.

Did you map the I drive under the users account? The drive mappings do Not carry over between logins.

 

Win7 & Win 8 are just as good as XP once you beat them into submission. Full xp-like taskbar & full menus too.

I have been trying on Windows 8 x64 machine.  no luck

i have 

given the user permission to m2mwin.ini

reinstalled 64bit sql native client

given full permission to the users... local.temp folder

given full permission to program files(x86)\made2manage

mapped a network drive to m2mdata

so far only the domain administrator can use m2m on the machine

i was able to get past the messages.dbc... error(by using the \\server\m2mdata\, vs a mapped drive), but i now get to a "select a company", and then i fails saying it cannot find the directory.

i was able to get the user to work in windows 7 using the above methods. but periodically need to reinstall m2m to keep them working

[Bill Greganti]

A long shot since my memory is a little vague on all the steps I used to get M2M 5.x working in Windows 7. We're now on 6.x and I haven't tried on Windows 8 at all yet. Of the changes I made, two are still in place via group policy, but I'm not sure how or if they both apply to Windows 8.

The first was to disable UAC, which I know has been mentioned here before.  The second was to enable linked connections, which allows applications that run with admin privileges to share the user's network credentials for accessing the server. 

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System]

"EnableLUA"=dword:00000000

"EnableLinkedConnections"=dword:00000001
