VServer on Windows and custom installation

[Chris Sheffield]

Thanks for responding, Igor.  I've got a couple more
questions I'm hoping you or someone can help me with.

I'm still trying to get the server launched on Win 98.
 It's appearing to me that a restart is necessary
before this will actually happen.  I'm launching it
using -i, and then again using -s, but the process
doesn't actually seem to be running.  And if I try to
connect to the server in order to register my
database, I get error 10061 (see previous post) when
calling the Server_OpenSession() function.  And then,
of course, nothing works.  Am I not doing something
right?  If I restart my computer, the process appears
to be registered as a service and it's running.

Also, in the Zip archive on paradigmasoft.com that's
for embedded users, there is a file Vserver2_9x.exe,
but the main installation for Windows only has
Vserver.exe.  Should I be using the "_9x" version for
Windows 98, or will Vserver.exe work for all versions
of Windows?

Thanks again,
