I'm trying to test FB 3 Beta2... using the zip-kit and also the installer of Beta2, since both gave me problems due to missing \programdata\firebird directory.
This machine is a remote Win2008R2, and seems that never had FB running before. Installing currently snapshot (31931) is showing the following error: C:\test\fb3>firebird -a -m C:\test\fb3>gsec *** gsec is deprecated, will be removed soon *** GSEC> display Install incomplete, please read the Compatibility chapter in the release notes for this version GSEC> add sysdba -pw masterkey An error occurred while attempting to add the user. unsuccessful metadata update CREATE TABLE PLG$SRP failed There is no privilege for this operation GSEC> quit This was an attempt to reproduce previous errors that I had in the previous attempts, like: GSEC> display Install incomplete, please read the Compatibility chapter in the release notes for this version GSEC> quit; <- typo invalid switch specified error in switch specifications GSEC> add SYSDBA -pw masterkey GSEC> quit; <- typo invalid switch specified error in switch specifications GSEC> display <---- prompt never returned after this, and I had to kill firebird.exe and another one: C:\test\fb3>gsec *** gsec is deprecated, will be removed soon *** GSEC> display unable to open database I/O error during "CreateFile (open)" operation for file "C:\TEST\FB3\SECURITY3.FDB" Error while trying to open file The process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process. and another one: C:\test\fb3>gsec -database localhost:c:\test\fb3\security3.fdb use gsec -? to get help Client attempted to attach unencrypted but wire encryption is required unable to open database I wonder how many people is actually testing FB 3 Beta2, since I didn't see any discussions in lists about the problem with missing ProgramData\Firebird directory (that makes users unable to go ahead and do any other tests). IMHO, Beta2 should be repacked and re-released asap, otherwise, people will just quit testing after initial frustration.
