System files/ Control Panel getting corrupted
We have written software in Vb6 with access 2000 as database and crystal reports 9.0. The software is being used at 200 places. It was decided to convert the same with msde 2000 as database. For this necessary code changes were done.
Installation procedure followed.
· During installation Access software first gets uninstalled before msde installation starts.
· msde is installed and then a migration utility is run to transfer data from access to msde.
· After this software starts.
· This migration is already done at about 40 locations
The machines at the 40 locations had XP professional or Win 2000 as operating system.
Problem
But when the same was done on sever class machines with Windows 2000 server or Windows 2003 server OS there is a problem but it is not consistently observed. This was also observed with Win 2000 professional OS.
After migration was completed, system files and control panel got corrupted and we could not access program files. OS had to be reinstalled and after installing Win XP professional we could proceed further(on non server class machines)
