Hello

I am trying to install Cognos8 on Windows Vista Home Premium edition with SQl serve client edition


Iam connecting to the database, when starting the service, it's giving the error


[Registering Service]
1. [ ERROR ] CFG-ERR-0101 Unable to register Cognos 8 service.
Execution of the external process returns an error code value of '5'.




Even i check in the cognos support for this problem, It says I require  windows Adminsitrator right for starting the cognos8 services, I had disabled  antivirus..  and   


But iam the Windows adminstrator by default..

Does any experienced before . Help me, iam  stuck here from past 5 weeks..

First of all, you are on your own, as Vista is not supported for Cognos 8.

Second, Vista has additional security features, sometime requiring you to start an application as Administrator, meaning, you would have to start CfgMgr as Administrator. Do not assume that you are.
Usually in Vista, every low level action like adding services, pops up a little window asking for additional permission. Are you getting it?

Hi

Yes, you are right, when i open a window, Vista asks for permission.. so what to do

[COGNOiSe administrator]

... you allow .. Actually, I think you have to start the configuration app in special admin way. As I don't have Vista handy, thta's as far as I can get you. Keep in mind, it is an uphill battle since Vista is NOT SUPPORTED.
