How are you trying to install the workstation, what steps are you using?

We are running the setup.exe file from the LoclInst folder on the main server.  We have tried running it as administrator, also running it in compatability mode.  Neither of which work.  

Claire ... have you tried copying the files and then installing BDE?  I know that usually works but am not sure if that would work in this situation.  

Claire, my understanding is that Server 2012 is like Windows 8 "under the hood." Normally, we know that Timeslips is indifferent to the version of Windows on a server, but when the program is actually being run there as with Terminal Server then it can be a problem. If Run as Admin and compatibility mode do not help, then your client may need to upgrade Timeslips.

Thanks everyone. We're going to try copying the folder. My concern was that it wouldn't create the registry files and put the necessary system files in the correct place.  My other thought was to create an MSI file, which would put all the registry and system files in the correct place. But it's a faff that may be more trouble than it's worth.
