Hi!

Did you select component called "Microsoft SQL DB-Library" during installation? Also, you can try to use ODBC driver instead of mssql.

Hello,

Thank you, I tried to reinstall from scratch on a XP workstation and works fine, I guess netXms doesn't work on Windows7.

Thanks anyways for your reply.

Hi!

NetXMS by itself is working on Windows 7 (I do most of development and testing on Windows 7), but mssql database driver uses very old and deprecated API called DB-library, which may be incompatible with modern Windows versions. It will be removed in 1.1.x branch. For connecting to MS SQL, it is now recommended to use ODBC.
