    Close down all open applications. Reset the date on your machine to 2011 sometime. Rightclick the install file and run as administrator. Once it has finished installing, reset your date back and register the software.

    Hi guys and gals

    I have a client that's having this same issue and i cant seem to find the solution. Pastel wont help cause support is not active on that package. She has pastel xpress v11 on win 7. i get this error when i open the app -2147220503 The Application is not valid. Please specify the correct Application Path. Registration checking cannot continue. Whenever i try to add or create a new company i get a pervassive error code 2 while accessing company.dat. So far i have tried :

    Reinstalling pervassive
    Reinstalling pastel
    Repairing company.dat file
    sfc scan
    check disk
    Running as admin
    Running in win 7 compatibilty ( even though its win 7, i know im desperate )
    renaming company.dat file
    repairing pastel xpress v 11

    Anyone have any ideas please ?

    Select the Xpress11 folder in explorer, right click it, properties, security. Add "everyone" and give them full control. Open the product and complete the registration wizard. Help - Register your package and complete the process. Once the software is registered, the error code 2 should be cleared as well.
