5270.0. "Pointers to ESP (Electronic Solution Provider) Discussion" by NQOS02::nqsrv519.nqo.dec.com::SLOUGH (Dennis Slough; Novi, MI dtn 471-5154) Thu May 01 1997 18:55

Anybody know of an ESP (Electronic Solution Provider)
conference or thread within this conference?  Anybody
able to load it on an Alpha/NT system?  Anyone else
having problems getting it to perform fast enough to
be of use on an SWB laptop?  I'm hoping to find a 
discussion about this potentially valuable tool.

5270.1	I Agree.	JALOPY::CARLEN	Cloyce Carlen @Home Alone	`Fri May 02 1997 09:27`	16
	I agree with Dennis that we need a conference describing the Trilogy product <aka - ESP (Electronic Solution Provider)> because one of my first questions will be: why does this product require 174MB hard disk space + a CD-ROM + a dial-up connection just to configure a system? The dial-up part doesn't work in many customer meetings because of the lack of an analog dial-up telephone line. Has anyone tried to install Trilogy without using their hard disk? Is there any performance issues that is seen beyond the 28.8K modem performance? Cloyce
5270.2	NT Partially Works	NNTPD::"[email protected]"	Dan Notov	`Fri May 02 1997 11:55`	13
	I too, am very excited about the potential of this tool. However, it is just "not there yet"... I was able to load it on my AlphaStation running NT/FX!32 with limited success; the needs analysis works. The catalog does not. I will be happy to join in on any discussions. The SWB folks have scheduled May 13th, 12-1pm EST for an ESP/Trilogy concall. The DTN is 264-9844. Perhaps that is the proper venue for proposing a notesfile/forum/public folder/whatever. Unfortunately, I'll be on a plane at that time... [Posted by WWW Notes gateway]
5270.3	My Attempt at ESP on NT install Errs w/ "Wrong Windows"	NQOS02::nqsrv533.nqo.dec.com::SLOUGH	Dennis Slough; Novi, MI dtn 471-5154	`Fri May 02 1997 14:48`	9
	I get "wrong version of Windows" error message when loading ESP on NT/Alpha. I figured there was a way around that but thought someone else may have documented how somewhere so haven't taken the time to decipher a method. I've noted SWB con-call date and time. Perhaps I'll be free to attend. Dennis
5270.4		INDYX::ram	Ram Rao, PBPGINFWMY	`Fri May 02 1997 16:38`	11
	Dennis, I too got "Wrong version of Windows". It turned out that the software needed to be installed with FX!32's "Install X86 Application" utility. That got me beyond the install problem. I am however unable to do much with the application before it dies with "illegal access" type of messages. I wonder if it was ever qualified in a Windows NT environment, Intel or Alpha. Ram
5270.5	Oh, Due to Good fx!32 Performance I've Never Taken That Route	NQOS02::nqsrv406.nqo.dec.com::SLOUGH	Dennis Slough; Novi, MI dtn 471-5154	`Fri May 02 1997 18:03`	8
	Ram, I've had very good experience just slipping in the CD (for Quicken, TurboTax, Lotus Smartsuite, and a bunch more), therefore I've never looked at INSTLX86.EXE (or any other fx!32 utility) before. But, since it croaked on you after a successful install I won't be rushing into a test myself. Dennis
5270.6	Mostly Works	NNTPD::"[email protected]"	Dan Notov	`Fri May 02 1997 20:07`	7
	I started a thread in TALLIS::FX32 Note 316 about ESP & Alpha NT. My first problem has been solved. Everything except generating quotes works. I'll continue this thread over there. /danno [Posted by WWW Notes gateway]
