Having the same problems with my dBase application installation - can not get
the MSDE Deployment Toolkit to work after the first installation. Works first
time - only time.
Has anyone gotten this toolkit to work properly?
OR
Has anyone designed a work-around?
OR
Has anyone talked to the engineers. Is this toolkit project shelved?
Any information about this toolkit would be greatly appreciated.
Regards,
John Fugedy
