Hi.

Has anybody except me problem with new plug-in MS SQL Instances?

I am trying InstallAware Studio 6 and i have a problem with "MS SQL Server connection" example, I don't know why, but this example doesn't work corect.

Concrete problem - sometimes MS SQL Instances doesn't return corect result, it returns nothing! The same example work correct on one computer, on second no!

Thanks

This plug-in uses network connections. Make sure you do not have firewalls or other software potentially blocking connections - they might be the culprit in the errant behavior.

I tryed it on 4 PCs connected to network. PC1 - there is SQL Server 2000.
I'm able to connect PC1/SQL Server 2000 from PC2(WXP SP2) but not from PC3(WXP SP2) and not from PC4 (W98).

I turned off the firewall too, installed MSDE 2000 on the localhost tryed plug-in on localhost, but result of SQL Instances on PC3 is nothing!

Did you enable network protocols and mixed mode auth on the instances you are trying to connect to?

Yes!
I'm able to connect and manage all servers and all instances by MS SQL Server plug-in, but I'm not able to see them from concrete PC (WXP SP2) by MS SQL Instances plug-in.

Both plug-ins use the exact same connection mechanisms - in fact, they are built on the same code base.
