I want to install a second server for Navision Attain 3.10 but it doesn't work.
Everytime I startup the serverinstallingprogram it returns with the repair/uninstall mode.
Does anybody know how to install the second server on the same machine? (Windows 2000)
Thanks

    did you install the 2nd service using a different directory?

    maybe this helps.....

    Issue
    Can I install the production database and a testing database on the same computer?

    Resolution
    1. On the server machine, install the server executables in two different folders.

    2. Edit the services file using the following example, where TESTSERVER1 and TESTSERVER2 are the names of your desired servers:

    TESTSERVER1 2407/tcp
    TESTSERVER2 2408/tcp

    3. Start the servers in their respective folders, with their unique names.

    4. On each client workstation, edit the Hosts file, adding a line for each server above where TESTSERVER1 and TESTSERVER2 are the names of your desired servers and you include the proper IP address of the server computer.

    5. On each client workstation, edit the Services file using the following example, where TESTSERVER1 and TESTSERVER2 are the names of your desired servers:

    TESTSERVER1 2407/tcp
    TESTSERVER2 2408/tcp

    Here are some other goodies that someone might be looking for someday.
    Issue
    How to run multiple C/SERVERs on NT and UNIX using TCP/IP?

    Resolution
    1. On the server, Install C/SERVER in 2 different directories.

    2. Edit the services file using the following example:

    TESTSERVER1 2407/tcp
    TESTSERVER2 2408/tcp
    (replacing the servernames above with your servernames)

    3. Start the server in the first directory with the following parameters:

    server servername=TESTSERVER1,nettype=tcp,cache=xxx,commitcache=y,database=AAAA
    (remember, the full path name for the database file)

    4. Repeat step 3 for the server in the second directory.

    5. On the workstation, edit the hosts file using the following example:

    xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx someserver
    xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx anotherserver
    addr_of_c/server testserver1 testserver2

    6. Edit the services file using the following example:

    TESTSERVER1 2407/tcp
    TESTSERVER2 2408/tcp

    7. Start the first client with the following parameters:

    fin servername=TESTSERVER1,nettype=tcp

    8. Repeat step 4 for the second client.

    Note - The above description can also be used for C/SERVER running on a UNIX box, with the only exception that nettype parameter doesn't exist on UNIX.

    Copied from w1w1ism.pdf (Installation & System Management: Navision Attain Database Server):
    Two Servers on the Same Computer, Both Using TCP/IP

    Make a copy of the folder where Navision Attain Database Server was just installed
    and rename it. You must do this because you cannot install two versions of
    Navision Attain Database Server on the same computer.
