    Exclamation Pastel Xpress (Start-up) - file missing - reinstall pervasive - Which version???

    Hi there.
    So suddenly one pervasive file goes missing and Pastel won't start up anymore (error 53).
    I am supposed to re-install it.
    I did uninstall via PSA.

    But now, which Pervasive do I have to install???

    Client for Windows?

    Should I first re-install PSA?

    Thanks,
    Tato

    To check which version of Pervasive to install, either look in Start...Programs...Pervasive, or look in the Control Panel and go to Add/Remove Programs (Windows XP) or Programs and Features (Windows 7).

    I guess it will probably be Pervasive Workgroup V9 (not likely to be Client for Windows).

    Thanks, Neville!
    I had already uninstalled Pervasive, but PSA was still there, so I started it. It found some files with 9.6 and the Help-file mentioned only 9.6 and Workgroup and Server.
    So I installed 9.6 Workgroup for Windows and Pastel starts again.

    I just wonder why did that one file vanish (causing the error 53).
    Well, who cares ... (at least we shouldn't, to save time)

    The file was most likely removed by your anti-virus or anti-spamware system - Pervasive is often been perceived (incorrectly) as a threat.
