Hi,

I have problem installing Meta Recon into my notebook. The message mentioned about single user and multiple user.

I wonder it is posible for me to install all the components required by Meta Recon into my notebook.

Thanks,
Cai Bing

You can absolutely install MetaRecon on a laptop. I've installed it on 3 different laptops running Windows XP.

You have to follow the installation instructions in EXACT order. You must also have a data repository, which has to be installed prior to the MetaRecon install. An ODBC connection has to be created to MetaRecon's specs. I think Ascential gives you an MSDE instance as part of the MetaRecon tool. MSDE is only good for prototypes. The MSDE database can not handle more than a couple MB of data.

Check with Ascential Support for specifics.
