Pervasive PSQL v9
Not Compatible with Windows Vista (Business or Ultimate) or Windows 7

Problem Description:  
Error message occurs when loading RDPWin on Pervasive v9 workstation: Cannot load w3btrv7.dll.

Solution Notes:  
Install Pervasive PSQL v10 or v11 on the workstation.

Problem Environment:

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.
