SYMPTOM(s):
Error GetProfString failed during Netsetup
Error CreateIconsAndVBSLists during Netsetup
CAUSE:
Wrong SHARED.INI or it has not been correctly created
FIX:
To avoid this problems, first do a full installation on the server of the product that must be installed on your clients, A database installation alone will not give the Netsetup program. Insure that there is no previous installation
of Progress on your client machine.
Then from the %DLC%\NETSETUP\ you have installed Progress in , execute the Netsetup.exe program.
If you get to install up to 40% and then get the error <GetProfString Failed> followed by <CreateIconsAndVBXLists failed..> then you are using the wrong
SHARED.INI or it has not been correctly created.
To install Progress on the client you will first have to clean up
the registry. This is done by running REGEDIT (regedt on winNT3.51)
and deleting the following key's;
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\PSC
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\PSC
Or running Setup.exe -x from the Progress CD
Then open up the SHARED.INI in the %DLC% you installed to, and check
for these three sections;
[VBX conversions32]
[License]
[Icons]
If these are not there either do a reinstall or do a local
installation and copy the SHARED.INI to the %DLC% on the server.
Then run the Netsetup program again.
