Support for English Windows Only

DataTools does not currently support non-English Windows.

If you are running a non-English version of Windows, have successfully installed DataTools and accessed your license file(s), you will likely get the following error(s) when trying to launch a DataTools product in the Launcher in any non-English version of Windows:

  • Some license files in the active license directory could not be opened or contain errors. Any files that could not be opened and read were renamed with a .error extension.
  • The Selected License is not a Pervasive Datatools license.
  • Error reading version/build info.

We apologize for the inconvenience, and plan to add support for non-English versions of Windows in a future release of DataTools. We will post a notification in this forum at that time, so please check back periodically.

Possible Workaround

Solution to Problem with License Files and non-US System Date Format

NOTE:

If you are installing DataTools on a workstation with a Windows 2000 operating system, you must be logged onto the workstation with full Administrator rights. Otherwise, you may experience a similar problem as described above. You will need to un-install and re-install DataTools while logged into the workstation as "Administrator". For detailed information about un- / re-installing DataTools, please see the Solving Installation Problems page.
