error (87): The parameter is incorrect

joemou

I m new to Navision. After I completed the client installation successfully, I tried launching it. Then it gives the error dialog: "The operating system returned the error (87): The parameter is incorrect. OK?" and of course nothing was launched after I press OK.

I tried uninstall, reboot, clean-up the directory, 100 times in any combinations and sequences. Still not work. Can anyone help?

The problem happens to some machines but not to others. All are winxp.

Thx

Hi,

Are you on a domain? If so, does the user you are logged in as have access to the local computer? Go to Control Panel>User accounts and see if the user/domain is on the list. If not, add the user to the list (give them Power User rights), log out, log back in, and try again.

We had a similar problem and that's how I cured it. Hope this helps

The machine is not joining a domain, and I'm already using the Local Administrator account to do everything

Have you tried to start the fin.exe or the finsql.exe directly from windows explorer?

Maybey you are trying to start the client from a shortcut which has some extra paramaters in the command line.

Check the parameters of the server. The Cache have to be under 900 MB. Try to put server cache=800000 :shock:

I got this message also when starting a DB without a server just by opening the DB via File - Database - Open.

After that I started the DB with a Navision Server - connected to this server. Then it was 'Recovering list of free blocks'.

After that the Db was working on both modes: starting via server and also via 'doubleclick'.
