Cannot load Language library.

SOLVED

Here is what I have. I got Timeslips 2009 installed on 4 computers. They all share it from one computer. I purchased a new computer (with windows 7 64 bit) and installed timeslips and I am get this error when it installs BDE.

 I

I click on OK and set the Station Administrator to the correct "Install path" and "Database location (which I for some reason have to set everytime I got to the station administrator)." Then when I open Timeslips it shows the errors below.

I open the "Station Administrator" again (set the database path again) and try "Diagnosing this computer," which tells me to install the language driver by running the BDE install again. I do that with the same "Could not merge the BDE configuration files" error as I did before.

I figured that something got corrupt so I uninstall everything and reinstalled everything again with all the same symptoms. 

Any help is very much appreciated in advanced.

    Timeslips v2009 is not supported on Windows 7. My guess is the problem is a rights issue or  the difference between 32 bit and 64 bit computers and where they install 32 bit applications - Program Files vs Program File(x86). it might also be a UAC (user access control) issue.

    I have also found that when in a mixed environment you need the computer acting as "the server" to be running the newest operating system. One other thing is that Windows 7 prefer UNC paths rather than mapped drives.

    My recommendation would be to upgrade to Timeslips v2015 which supports windows 7. However, you should know that Timeslips 2015 does not support Windows XP since it is no longer supported by Microsoft. Generally speaking Timeslips 2015 seems to work without issue on Windows Xp but it is not supported.

    The funny thing is that I have the server computer is running windows 7 pro 64. The other computers are XP, Vista (I believe 32), and the computer in question 7 HP 64.

    I have had no issues with running the mapped network drive on the other computers. That being said I haven't thought about removing the UAC. I will try that and post back.

    I did get a quote from Sage for upgrading my client to the most current version of Timeslips (2015). I also found out that Sage doesn't support any of the Timeslips products more than 3 years old much like Intuits Quickbooks.

    I found out a solution that worked. Seeing as this computer was only a couple of days old I just reinstalled the OS from the factory image. I then just installed Timeslips and it works fine.
