Fat Client Install

I'm having a problem that I've never seen before with a new fat client installation. I've installed C++, installed and configured Oracle and then install JDE DEV Full package. JDE launches OK but, when attempting to enter OMW, I am encountering an error "Unable to retrieve blc spec" followed by a business function name. This error recurs for about 2 dozen BSFNs and then JDE exits. I'm not having this error on any of the prior installations or the Citrix servers, just this new installation. I uninstalled JDE, rebooted and tried installing the PD Full package but got the same results. Any ideas or thoughts on trouble shooting this problem would be welcome. TIA for your help.

Make sure that the package you are installing was not built in Debug mode.
It should have been built in Optimize mode.

Also make sure you have full admin rights to this workstation.

Thanks for the suggestions, James. Thinking that the DV pacakage might be flawed, I uninstalled JDE, cleaned the registry, rebooted and then installed my PD package. I know this package is good because I'm using it on all of my developer's machines, but I still get the same error. Also, I do have Admin rights to the machine. Is it possible that the problem is with C++ or Oracle? I'm pretty novice with both products, so I don't really know how to trouble shoot them. I'm discounting that Oracle is the problem because I get logged onto JDE on this machine which means Oracle sees the security server (same machine as Entereprise server). Any suggestions?

Is this a developer workstation? If not, this could be the problem. The
package could be built just fine and work perfectly on Dev workstations.

When you create a package in debug mode it will work on developer
workstations because they have C++ on them. It will however give you fits
on non dev workstations because these are fat clients without C++.

Check the build information on this package and see that you had it set to
build in Optimize mode and not Debug mode.

Let me know, but I think we are one the right track.

Thanks,
James

Do you have BSFNs mapped to the server?

After the install, are the BSFNs in the b7\DV7333\source folder?

Thanks for the suggestion, C Ho. I'm rather embarassed to admit that I caused this problem. We had recently upgraded from SP18 to SP21 and I was using the One World Client Install for SP18. Warning to all: use the Client Install associated with your current SP level!
