How to compare two Windows 2003 Servers Settings and Software

[Guest Michael]

Hello,

 

I am having a problem with installing a custom in house software program on

a Windows 2003 server. I have two different Windows 2003 Server boxes, both

with Service Pack 1. The software works on one of the boxes but it does not

work on the other. There isn't any errors on the one that doesn't work and we

suspect there might be a patch or minor software configuration difference

between the two machines. I am using Regmon to try and see if there is any

obvious registry issues but I was wondering if there were any other tools or

techniques I can use to try and find the difference between these two

machines without having to eye ball it. Any help would be appreciated.

 

Thanks,

Michael

How is the app built - complete standalone .exe or using run-time libraries?

 

Could be that one server has a .dll or VB file installed previously that the

other one doesn't.

 

Did the developer test the installation process on a brand new workstation,

or his development workstation with all VB components and C++ libraries

installed?
