I am getting the error in NMR when I try to create the update file. Yes, I am editing the files in the WGSERV directory

are you running NMR as admin, it will throw an exception at least on my PC (win 7) if it's doesnt have full permissions.

I uninstalled everything (WG and nmr), removed all entries from registry, reboot, reinstall following every step in the guide again, making sure to open NMR as admin, and I still get that error. The only thing I can think of, is that I did not install any hotfixes for sql, i cannot find that file anywhere. if can send it it'd be nice? However, the files convert with 100% success and I can edit anything in NMR just fine, just cannot compile an update, not sure if the hotfixes would resolve that issue but it's worth a shot...just cant seem to find that file anywhere...

Not too sure on the whole pervasive thing. i downloaded the same 9.5 that is mentioned in the post, when i look to see the codes installed for it, it shows demo for pervasive.sql 9 server and registered (paid for) key for pervasive.sql 9 workgroup. I dont have the $85,666 minimum payment required to buy that and I'm pretty sure its not needed, considering how many boards are up and edited. I am referring to the hotfix mentioned in the first post, when I say I didnt install the hotfix, and need that file.

You can download it for free from their website. Just need to create a (free) account: http://www.pervasive.com/database/Home/ ... SQLv9.aspx (the windows file under "PSQL v9 Updates")

But here it is:

Quick question do I actually need PSQL ,FuGlobals and Dailsoft? I have been running my server without these for about 6 months now and have been having no problems at all. I have a fully edited realm (new classes, races, items, and NPC's). Also if it matters, I'm running it at the moment on a laptop that is only like 2 years old that I have XP installed on.

Nope. PSQL is just a newer btrieve engine, could provide more stability but also allows use of external utilities to access your data (e.g. for displaying on a webpage). FuGlobals is great for a variety of things such as online user listing, paging, repeat commands, etc. And dialsoft control is really only used as a way to prevent more than X number of connections to your box by IP address.
