"Setup Already Running" Message Shows Up During Installation of Server-
Side Components
When you install the Visual Studio 6.0 server-side components on a Windows
NT server computer, using the Installation Wizard, you may encounter the
message "Another copy of Setup is already running. Complete the other Setup
or restart Windows."
This situation typically occurs on slow computers where the Wizard timer
runs out while waiting for an ACME setup to finish, and the Wizard starts
the next setup.
Click OK in the message box. This action tells the Wizard to
terminate one of the conflicting processes and continue with the remaining
installations. The summary page that is automatically generated at the end
of setup lists the components, if any, that were not completely
installed.
To install the specific component that failed, run setup wizard again. Installing Server Components on Windows 95It is recommended that you install all server applications on computers
running Windows NT.
Enterprise and Professional Editions of Visual Studio 6.0 products are
packaged with a variety of Microsoft server applications specifically
tailored for the Visual Studio developer. Most applications can be
installed on either Windows 95 or Windows NT operating systems. We
recommend installing all server applications on Windows NT, either
Workstation or Server.
If you choose to set up servers on a Windows 95 computer, the order of
installation is important. On Windows 95 some applications must be
installed before others for the installation to complete successfully and
the product to work. Install the components in the following order:
- Windows NT Option Pack
- FrontPage 98 Server Extensions
- Data Access Components 2.0
- Visual InterDev Server Components
- Application Performance Explorer
- Visual Studio Analyzer
- (Any Order) Visual SourceSafe Server
- (Any Order) Visual FoxPro Server Samples
The Installation Wizard presents these options in the same order. Again,
ordering is significant on Windows 95 only.
For other issues relating to Windows 95 computers, go to Issues Specific to
Windows 95 Computers. Known Compatibility Issues with SQL Server 6.5 and Windows NT Option
Pack 4.0
If you install SQL Server 6.5 on a computer with Windows NT Option Pack 4.0
installed, some of your Design Time Controls (DTCs) may be
overwritten.
If this happens, you will get an error message when you launch Microsoft
Transaction Server (MTS). The message instructs you to reinstall MTS.
To prevent this situation, install the Windows NT Option Pack after you
install SQL Server.
