If you uninstall HiRDB once and then install it again, be sure to reboot the computer after uninstallation. If you install without rebooting, error 1073 is displayed immediately after installation.
To handle error 1073:
- Restart Windows so that the registry and service registration information existing during uninstallation take effect.
- Install HiRDB normally and restart Windows. Specify the same directory that resulted in the error. You cannot start HiRDB yet because the service has not been registered.
- Uninstall HiRDB#. In this case, DLL and EXE files are retained as is.
- Delete the remaining files. To restore the files later, save the files under the CONF directory that contains the definition information. Then, delete the installation directory (if you have used the default values for installation, this is C:\win32app\hitachi\hirdb_s for a HiRDB/Single Server and C:\win32app\hitachi\hirdb_p for a HiRDB/Parallel Server.)
- Restart Windows.
- Install HiRDB normally, and then restart Windows.
- Copy the saved HiRDB system definition files to the %PDDIR%\conf directory.
- Prepare HiRDB for startup (such as system file allocation and initialization), and then start HiRDB.
Steps 1 through 5 restore erroneous registry and service registration to normal status (initial status). Steps beginning with 6 are normal installation procedure.
- #: During uninstallation, the client's definition information file hirdb.ini is also deleted; therefore, save this file, if necessary.
