Hi
After trying out many, possible, solutions I found on the net I finally came here in the hope that you can help me.
I have here a MS Server 2003 SP1, have had some problems with it (MS installer for example) but was able fix this. BE 9.1 also gave some problems (not wanting to backup anymore) so I decided to uninstall & reinstall it, this didn't work, unable to reinstall...
I then installed 9.0 and this did work, until a third party company who also works on this server changed the Java Runtime Envirement back to current version 1.4 (apparently when installing BE he automaticly changes this to 1.2?). After this I got services that wouldn't start, the BEDB_Dat.mdf file that seems locked (all of the repairing operations failed because of this), etc. With other words, BE was completely useless at the moment.
Then I decided to try and start fresh so I completely removed everything that has something to do with BE from the server (following the steps from this page: http://itmanager.blogs.com/notes/server_applications/) and after this I installed BE 9.1 again. This didn't gave any problems but right after the installation (and before the reboot) I went to check the JRE, it has been changed back to 1.2.... now this is a problem, because an other program that runs on this server needs version 1.4. So I changed this again in 1.4, then I rebooted the system.
And now I am as far as I was before this reinstallation of BE 9.1: BE doens't want to start (he asks me to connect to the media server which he can't), some of the services can't start (error 1065: The database specified does not exist & error 1068: The dependency service or group failed to start) and all the other now probs...
I've tried BEUtility but whatever I try, it always ends "failed". I've tried installing SP's but this gives an error saying "Device activation error. The physical file name 'C:\...\....\...\BEDB_Dat.mdf' may be incorrect. And then he does a roll back action.
Any help/tips/input greatly appreciated!
Regards
Tom
