RE: 4D 2003 running on Windows 2008 Server?
Date: 09-02-10

I'm wide open to any other suggestions to get 4D 2003 working on Windows
2008 Server (Service Pack 2).
What I've tried:
I've Turned DEP Off
I've Turned DEP on, with my 4D app on the list.
I've set the app to run in "compatibility" mode for both XP and 2003 Server
I've turned User Account Control On
I've turned User Account Control Off
I'm running my 4D App as "Administrator"
I've moved the data file to various locations I've deleted the preferences
files
I've chanted some Krishna
I've thrown salt around the room
I've smudged the room for evil spirits
I've sacrificed a lamb as an offering (it was actually an old stuffed pig
that my daughter used to play with...)
As I stated earlier, It started the first time I installed it, thereafter,
it quits right away with a message, that the app has "stopped working".
Any other ideas?
Many, many thanks.

Check your DEP settings. You may need to add 4D to the list of exceptions,
or turn off DEP altogether (I think it's on by default).

We run v2003 on Windows 2008 server. For 4D Server, check out some recent
threads about how to get the admin window to work properly when you're
running it as a service. Running it as an application should be no problem.
Others may have relevant experience of whether the 64-bit version supports
4D 2003. We always require our users to have 32-bit Windows just to be on
the safe side. We've had various issues with printer drivers (especially
converting to PDF) on 64-bit systems. If you can figure out where 32-bit
DLLs and so on have to go on your 64-bit system you may have better success.
