While installing FileMaker Server 5, I encounter this error...

Error 1904.Module C\program files\FileMaker\FileMaker Server 5\FMPSPROP.DLL failed to register. HRESULT -2147024894

Has anybody seen this error before? Technet had one article I found, but it was on Outlook and it didn't help me. This is a Win NT 4.0 SP-6a server. I am logged in as administrator when do this. Any help is appreciated.

I have no experience with FileMaker, but does the program desire any prerequisite programs to be installed, such as a specific version of IE? What other programs do you have installed on the server? Try reapplying SP6a, deleting all temp files, insuring your system meets the program's guidelines, and reinstalling.

This is a Filemaker error code and the best source for information is going to be the manufacturer. Unfortunately, their KnowledgeBase came up empty for every search I tried with the information you supplied.

I'm willing to bet that the good folks at www.filemaker.com know the answer but they are not making it easy to find.

good luck!

Already talked to them. They say that this is a Microsoft error code. I agree with them right now because I did find the error code, but it related to Outlook.

You're right - the error itself is a Microsoft error but I still would call it Filemaker's problem - poor choice of words on my part.

We've probably seen the same TechNet article (Q237294) but have you tried manually registering the file using regsvr32 and/or installing from a clean boot?

If so, I would tend to conclude the file itself is corrupted, which would put the ball back in Filemaker's court.

I was able to install the software on another server. Software OK
I was unable to register the files manually. Server Not OK
What is the root, if anybody knows, to this problem. The software can't modify the reg? What? Thanks.

Look at Q279223 .... this relates to a specific dll for MSOffice.

Then look at Q231383 and follow the recommended procedure for reloading MDAC 2.6.... then Filemaker. "There have been over six releases of MDAC during the past year and, in certain circumstances, applications have experienced version incompatibility issues. This is a general statement and is purely dependent upon the environment in which MDAC was installed. In most scenarios, applications experiencing problems with MDAC behavior are a result of mis-matched components."

Updated the MDAC. No change. Thanks.

If I knew what was at the root, I would be better off.
