Before installing the EminentWare server or doing a EminentWare Express install, verify that you have installed the following...
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=536fd7d5-013f-49bc-9fc7-77dede4bb075&displaylang=en
Make sure you install the
Microsoft SQL Server Native Client (note: this is the 2005 native client, not the 2008 client that comes with SQL Server 2008)
and
Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Management Objects Collection
Once these have been installed, you should be good to go.
The EminentWare Server uses these assemblies during installation and normal run time.
If you dont, you will recieve an error while trying to create the EminentWare DB and installation will fail.
Thanks Steve!
