Zetadocs Express / NAV 2013R2 installation question

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by David LeRoux 205

Before trying an install on  a client’s system, I wanted to install on my laptop development environment first.

I’m running Windows 7  professional 64 bit (SP1)  on a Dell laptop (Intel i7-3540M CPU).  I have NAV2013R2 and SQL Server 2012 installed both a default instance and also a second “NAVDEMO” instance. I don’t have SharePoint so I thought I would try the Zetadocs Archive Service but I ran into some problems.

It wanted to install SQL Server2012 x64, so I let it, but apparently that is not installing successfully –after the reboot it errors out because it can’t find the SQL instance it wants.

Is there a requirement that the Zetadocs Archive Service must be installed on a server OS?

Is there a way to override the instance it wants to use so I can specify that it use one of my existing SQL Server instances? The only technical notes I saw on that dealt specifically with Server 2003 and using SQL Server 2008 instead of 2012

Thanks

    The problem was in my network - specifically our password policy required 15 character passwords while the install script had  an 8 character password hardcoded. The solution was to :

    *edit the install script to use a password that passed muster with the network requirments,

    *manually install SQL Express 2012 using the manual process in the docs

    *use SQL Management Studio to the disable the password enforcement on the "sa" account

    *edit the install script back to the original password Zetadocs wanted

    *run setup.exe again to install the Archive Service
