Hi,
I´m working on a upgrade of our DP installation from version 7 to 9. I checked all prerequieries an all consistency checks ran o.k.. The setup starts, exports DB. Runs further, at the end it reports "IDB storage area creation failed". The IDB doesn´t work an no data is imported. The setup log provides:
...
[NORMAL] The IDB service account added to the Inet impersonation database.
[CRITICAL] IDB storage area creation failed.
[CRITICAL_DETAIL] IDB storage area creation failed:
Log file: C:\Windows\TEMP/dp_idb_install.log

The dp_idb_install.log mentions the same:
...

Command output:

This user must also own the server process.
The database cluster will be initialized with locale German_Germany.1252.
The default database encoding has accordingly been set to WIN1252.
The default text search configuration will be set to "german".

...
I can´t see there any problem that "C:/Programme/OmniBack" exists. It is the path the DP 7 is installed. The path was mandatory by migration from 6.2 to 7 and change from server 2003x86 to server 2008R2x64.
I tried serveral setups, as lokal Administrator, as Domain Administrator all failed in the same manner an I reverted Cell manager from snapshot to DP 7 (thanks for virtualisation :-)).
What can I do to get a succesfull migration?
Thanks in advance.
Kind regards
Michael
