Re: InitDB Failure on install

To add a little to the confusion, this does not seem to occur using 2003
terminal server. I have been building from source and running on this
setup for the last few months (actually been using rdesktop from a Linux
workstation -> win 2003 ).

Note that I have not tried to install by means of the installer, and
also have not tried to build the latest beta (last build was about 2.5
weeks ago).

regards

Mark
