Pervasive PSQL v10 is Fully Compatible
with Windows Vista (Business or Ultimate)

Pervasive PSQL v10 is fully compatible with Windows Vista (Business or Ultimate), offering our customers a smooth and seamless transition to Microsoft's Vista and Server 2008 platforms.

Microsoft Windows Vista (Business or Ultimate) is supported with Pervasive PSQL v9 (all editions) using the recommended solutions as documented in the White Paper: Pervasive PSQL v9 Compatibility with Windows Vista (Business or Ultimate).

Pervasive PSQL v9 WorkGroup Engine
Not Compatible with Windows Vista (Business or Ultimate)

Problem Description:  
Error 8520 - A timeout occurred during the initialization of the SRDE engine.  

Problem Environment:  
Pervasive PSQLv9 Workgroup  
Pervasive PSQL v9 Client Cache engine  
Microsoft Windows Vista
Vista White Paper  
Error 8520  

Cause of this problem:  
Windows Vista limits all users to Standard user permissions, regardless of whether or not they are logged in under an administrator-equivalent account. With User Account Control (UAC), users that have been configured as 'Administrators' can perform certain administrative level functions by responding to a Windows prompt, however, this behavior does not extend to the auto-start of the Pervasive PSQL Workgroup Engine.  

Solution Notes:  
Pervasive recommends that you configure the Pervasive PSQL v9 Workgroup engine to run as a service. This allows the Workgroup engine to run under the Local System account, or under a user designated account.  
 
For more information about about configuring the Pervasive PSQL v9 Workgroup engine to run as a service see the White Paper:  
Pervasive PSQL v9 Compatibility with Windows Vista  

Installation time on Windows Vista is Slow

Problem Description:  
Installation time on Windows Vista is twice or more slower than non-Vista operating systems on equivalent hardware  

Problem Environment:  
Pervasive PSQL v10  
Window Vista  

Solution Notes:  
Microsoft has confirmed that this is expected behavior because of the increased number of filter drivers such as UAC Virtualization and Vista Search Indexing.  

RDPWin is Not Compatible with Windows XPx64

Our database vendor, Pervasive, has completed changes required for Vista to work successfully with RDPWin.  Windows XPx64, the 64 bit version of Windows XP, is not compatible with RDPWin.  Do not use Windows XPx64.

Microsoft is soon releasing a new Windows Server 2008; however, RDP does not support this new server yet.  Feel free to call RDP Support at 970- 845-7108 with any hardware questions.

Please do not upgrade any computers to Windows XPx64. If you are planning to purchase new computers, do not order Windows Vista or XPx64.  New computers should have Windows XP Professional, with Service Pack 2, and include a minimum of one gigabyte (1GB) of RAM memory with a 3ghz processor.
