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.

Best regards,
Victor

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.
Regards

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

Best regards,
