Has anyone tried this? PzDB: 30 DAY FREE TRIAL
 
I just noticed it in the Rendo freebies.

Curious as to how well it does and if it can potentially make mush of your runtimes?

Can't hurt anything!

Makes a seperate inventory file.

Works very well (if I do say so myself)

Thanks for the information Ben

 Well, I did try to install and my Windows OS seems wonky about the Access runtime which this little thingie needs as a co-install.  I received a few error messages and then I decided to uninstall the whole thing.  Didn't get it to run in the end.  Mind, it's my system which didn't seem to allow a complete installation, so I'm not saying anything negative about this trial version. 

I’ve been a computer programmer for almost 20 years, what exactly  “seems wonky?”

Our software? Or your computer?

I think anyone who has contacted us about PzDB will agree that our Tech Support has been second-to-none on this. As we approach 500 users worldwide, there is not a single tech problem we haven’t addressed (and fixed). Not one. And there have been no problems (zero) reported with the installer.

If you’d like to report one, please visit www.rocketshipsoftware.com/pzdb/support.

PzDB is a very useful program. And I believe you’ll think so, too. So please, give it another try, (or just give it the first try) and if you actually have any problems (any at all) please contact our Tech Support team so we can find them, and fix them.

Thanks for your comments,

 My computer, is probably it. 

I repeatedly get this:
"Error 1931.  Setup cannot update file C:windowssystem32shdocvw.dll because it is protected by Windows.  You may need to update your operating system for this program to work properly."

I am using Windows XP Professional SP3 with regular update automated.

I hhad tha message too. But it installed in spite of that. I like what I've seen so far and if, big, big if, I could get some cash flow, I'd buy it unless it's super expensive. :)

Oh, that!

That’s not an error, that’s not even wonky!

You don’t get that “repeatedly” just once every time you install, right?

That’s just a warning message because your security settings are a higher than most peoples’. That’s not in our software, it’s just in the installer, (Microsoft's installer btw) and I think that message doesn’t even appear in the current build. But I’ve put in a note to go check.

You can go right ahead with that install, it’s perfectly safe, and PZDB will run just fine. Although I would recommend you double check to make sure you’re using the latest version.

That dll is a windows document handler and the installer should be dealing with it properly. Earlier versions of the installer did have that problem of replacing active dll files but installer 2 or 3 should have done it.  Its not an issue if the functionality hasnt changed but the fact that the installer tried means you have an earler version of that file than the program compiler used.  It may still work ok. Ideally the program should be compiled to use a local copy of the dll from its own program folder, though thats not always possible .  If its an expected or known issue it should be in the installation instructions.

I would like it if it would display more then 2 columns on my system. Using Vista 64bit.

(We had one other person mention something like this, we asked them several questions and they never replied, so  I assume one them was the solution,)The browser should automatically adjust the number of columns to the width of the window (2 is the minimum for default).  

Have you tried changing the width of the PzDB window?

Maximizing the PzDB window? 

Are you using more than one monitor?

Is PzDB on the non-primary display?

Are you using any sort of Window manager or 3rd party desktop program?

Let me know

shdocvw.dll is a Windows system file. Every Windows installation has it. The installer should never try to replace it, instead, it should hook up the application to the existing shdocvw.dll

Yes, We know that, our (Microsoft brand) installer program included that file by default. As I've said before I believe that it has removed from all of our current builds. And we apologize for any inconvenience.

Nevertheless should you encounter that message, you can just click OK, PzDB will work just fine.
