Hello

We are having extensive problems with the VDF software and it doesn't matter what version with it crashing all the time on a 2008 R2 Server. If we run the program as administrator it runs fine.

As i understand 32bit is being phased out.

Whilst Server 2008 R2 has some very nice features about it it has some very strong and strange security on it. The amount of applications that require "everyone" to be specified against it in the security list is amazing.

To even get the databases to load we had to give ourselves and "Everyone" access to the folder.

SQL Server is running on the server very nicely but we also had to let it install until it crashed and then install the other components manually out of the sql programs folder. Not exactly a nice way to do it but it works and the indexes are working!!.

Someone at DAC might know what is causing the above or what we can do to resolve it?
