Tony, When I had to install U2 (Unidata stuff) after some years of not using on a Win7 machine (although it's not specifically related to Win7) I tried to install some stuff under the traditional C:\Program Files (x86) instead of the default c:\u2 and ran into the same issues Tony did. In this day and age U2 needs start to understand "spaces" in paths, etc. and Windows standards. I hate having to specify rogue program files outside the windows standard location for such data (i.e. C:\Program Files [x86]\ in my backup plan. [end rant].

I'm providing notes about XAdmin since we're here. Bottom line, it's working fine. I installed the DBTools but originally put them under: C:\Program Files\Rocket Software\U2\U2Tools The first startup failed, saying I should look for a log under U2Tools\v3. That log wasn't there. I suspect a W7 permissions issue and figured this is why the installer wanted to install under the c:\U2 directory in the first place. But after so many years isn't it clear yet that products should be installed under Program Files, not root, and that should be written to %AppData% (different for W7/XP, etc)? I uninstalled but the Program Files tree remained. Apparently the uninstall doesn't remove the JRE6 that it installed. OK, that's another issue. First, why not mandate the JRE get installed into a common location first? Second, if you're going to install software, uninstall it too. I put my second installation under C:\Databases\U2\U2Tools, since I have all of my databases in that tree as well. On startup I did get the XAdmin. Yay. I created a Server reference and attempted to Connect, got error 39202. Recognized this as an RPC error and ... oops, I had shutdown Universe. Start services, got connect. Yay. On first connect got message that the Server programs are out-of-date with option to update XTOOLSUB to v3.100.0. Click OK. Wait. Nothing. Is something happening? Guess not. Move on. Open Tasks/Network Services to change telnet/ssh ports (avoid conflicts with other MV products). Change my Universe service to use the new telnet port for debugging. Now set Windows Firewall to allow the new ports. Connect in from outside. Yay! I hope that helps someone (whether U2Tools developers or fellow users).
