It uses the sybase repository and a second database, as defined in the sybase.config file and works fine.
If i move the folder to windows it falls over.
I am sure this is related to a sybase not starting issue.
It is partly cured when i run the sybase dbeng10 and choose my repository database manually, but then it doesnt seem to run my main database.
I can only think that it is something to do with the servoy properties file and tried copying the line from a windows servoy install but that didnt work.
Weirdly i had tried that, but when i did a download and install rather than a web install this morning i think it worked. Maybe i had an old copy or something on the machine.
