fpODBC for Windows moving not working for me this time.

[Walter D Vaughan Jr]

I have a paid for single user version of fpODBC for windows (circa 2003.
1.0.13D09) that I have moved a few times from hard drive to hard drive as
they failed or I needed the space.

I believe in the past all I have needed was to set the volumeID to the old
hard drive and I was good to go.

I built a virtual XP-SP3 box because the current drive is failing rapidly
and I need to use this windows version very infrequently, but when I need it
I *REALLY* need it. I was expecting everything to just work, but I keep
getting an error:

 

*** A filePro Error Has Occurred ***

On File: C:\fpodbc/fp/lib/licfp.dat

lm error: No Licenses found for the product.

 

I know the file is there

 

C:\>dir c:\fpodbc\fp\lib\licfp.dat

Volume in drive C has no label.

Volume Serial Number is 34BB-9E28

 

Directory of c:\fpodbc\fp\lib

 

12/16/2003  11:15 AM               504 licfp.dat

               1 File(s)            504 bytes

               0 Dir(s)  121,926,111,232 bytes free

 

And that it has the same label as the failing drive.

 

C:\>dir c:\fpodbc\fp\lib\licfp.dat

Volume in drive C has no label.

Volume Serial Number is 34BB-9E28

 

Directory of c:\fpodbc\fp\lib

 

12/16/2003  11:15 AM               504 licfp.dat

               1 File(s)            504 bytes

               0 Dir(s)  36,484,276,224 bytes free

 

I did a binary match of the two license files and they look identical.

Anyone have any ideas? I have slept since I did this last.

Old machine is WinXP_Pro not on domain, and new virtual machine is ON
DOMAIN. Surely being on the domain shouldn't cause this, and fp should not
be able to bypass the BIOS to try and read through the sandbox to get at the
physical drive's volume.

 

I can run dprodir.exe (which does not check for licenses evidently )just
fine. It sees all the files and has accurate record and field values, so I
am pretty sure the .bat file is okay

 

C:\fpodbc>type setenv.bat

@echo off

rem This File created by install shield on 12-16-2003

set PATH=C:\WINDOWS\COMMAND

set PFPROG=C:\fpodbc

set PATH=%pfprog%;%PFPROG%\fp;%path%

set PFDSK=C

set PFDATA=C:

set PFDIR=\fpodbc

set PFMENU=C:\fpodbc\fp\menus

set PFGLOB=

set PFCONFIG=

echo stuff > fp$$$$$$.bat

del fp$$*.bat>NUL

 

C:\fpodbc>

 

Was/is there a registry setting or something simple I am missing?
