RMS Configuration program won't launch

cvarner

I am working (remotely) with a customer to install RMS. We ran the installation software (with no errors), but for some reason when I open up the RMS Configuration Wizard it crashes. I checked the windows error log and found the following error:

Faulting application RMSConfigurationwizard.exe, version 3.3.0.85, time stamp 0x4a8ec813, faulting module ntdll.dll, version 6.0.6002.18005, etc...

I have attempted reinstallation and rebooted the machine a couple times. Any ideas?

Here is some more info:
Machine type: Virtual server
OS: Windows server 2008 sp2 standard edition.
2 Gigs of RAM
IIS 7.0
.NET 3.5 + ASP.NET 2.0.50727 framework
SQL Express 2008
I am connected to the server via a Remote desktop session.
Windows firewall is off
Both SQL and RMS are being installed on the \ drive
Customer says we have full admin rights to windows.

Hi,

is your problem solved already (hopefully it is as this thread was started two months ago...)? I have a document from AMX which helps in configuring the Windows Server 2008 features to run RMS configuration wizard correctly (I assume your problem is/was related to server 2008).

I am having this very same problem. Did you find a solution?

Thomas Hayes

I had to go into the AMX RMS folder and manually run the various services. AMX also made a piece of code that will monitor the RMS and restart any apps that drop offline.

Contact tech support. There are a number of Server Features on Windows Server 2008 that have to be enabled which are not listed in the "Installation Checklist" document.

PS - I had the same issue until I spoke with them.

To complete the Necromancy.....

First ....

• Make sure Windows Server 2008 Service Pack 2 has been installed along with all updates.
• RMS needs a static IP either by address reservation or direct assignment.
• Setup Firewall to allow port 3839 (RMS Default)

This is probably where it is falling down, some IIS component missing..

• Open the Server Manager
• Scroll down to the Roles Manager section and follow the Add Roles Link.
• Click the Application Server Check box
• Click the Add Requires Features Button to accept.
• Hit Next Twice
• Check the Web Server (IIS) Support Check box
• Add the required Role Services and Features for the Web Server (IIS) Support Role.
• Click the Add Requires Role Services Button to accept.

And now, yet another wizard will start....

• The Add Roles Wizard Window will open.
• Select the COM+ Network Access Check box
• Ensure that the HTTP Activation Check box is also selected.
• Click the Next Button to continue.
• Click the Next Button to continue on the Web Server (IIS) Introduction Page
• Check the ASP Check box in the Application Development Section
• Scroll down and ensure that all of the check boxes in the Security section are selected.
• Select the IIS 6 Management Compatibility Check box and all of the Check boxes in this section
• Click the Next Button to continue.
• Click the Install Button to begin the Installation

That should be all the pre-req's as far as the server side stuff goes, after you complete the addition of those roles and components you can install SQL on that server if it isn't on a separate server, and then away you go.

And now we shall let the dead thread rest in pieces.
