I thought crystal was win 7 bare minimum and 2.3 was xp. I think most people ran servers off windows server 2002
I am running TinyXP in Vmware player16 and can't launch the server starter program that runs on win10, so maybe it needs win7 VM
This XP edition is 'tiny', so maybe it was gutted and some components might be missing.
But launching those gates manually works, I started them in order as shown in server starter program running outside this VM, not sure if it matters.
I never had anything to do with database programs, apparently the server is expecting this SQL server installed in windows. Where do I get this version 2005 mentioned here?
there are a few guides in the "Legend of Mir II Downloads & Guides" Section for 2.3 files. I don't know about getting it running on Windows 10 - as i've never successfully installed SQL 2005 on Windows 10.
Last time I setup a 2.3 server was on a Virtual Machine Running Windows XP.
Come to think of it, I can provide download for this VMachine (including the VMWare16 player installation) and maybe some of you guys can do everything needed to run these files in it, including the client (either copied into it or maybe as separate to it so as not to make XP VM too big). I guess that SQL database is just a starter when things get more complicated. Also didn't change anything in config files here, just trying if the server will start, and it does.
I would just make shortcut links to these files in one place to make the launching less involved process.
