Hi,

A new client requested me to work with Across. I downloaded the Across Client from their Server and installed it successfully.

However, I have problems when I start Across. After login, the patch starts downloading. Once the patch is downloaded 100%, I see a message that says "Waiting for host application to finish...".

Hi,

A new client requested me to work with Across. I downloaded the Across Client from their Server and installed it successfully.

However, I have problems when I start Across. After login, the patch starts downloading. Once the patch is downloaded 100%, I see a message that says "Waiting for host application to finish...".

After this message there is total SILENCE. There is NO activity. I have tried about 10 times since two days, and each time the same thing happens. Once I waited patiently for more than 2 hours.... in vain.

Has anyone faced this kind of problem? or does anyone have a solution?

I have already written to Across Tech Support, hopefully I will receive an answer soon.

I also downloaded the full Personal Edition and installed it. But I have the same problem even here... no activity after "waiting for...."

thanks
cheers

Download the path from www.across.net Nov 13, 2008

Hi,

I have this problem as well.

You can however download the latest update (or patch) from www.across.net and install it manually. Then you simply answer "No" to the question if you want to download the patch.

Hope this helps,
Åsa

Did that too Nov 13, 2008

Hi Åsa,

Thanks for the reply!

Sigh... I already tried this too. I downloaded and installed the latest patch from Across.net

When I start Across, it asks if I want to download the older patch or whatever.... when I say NO, the screen goes dead again and Across does not start. To check I pressed Ctrl+Alt+Del, Across does not show up in the Processes list!

When I say YES, it downloads 100% and the same old problem.... no activity after "Waiting ... See more

What is your OS? Is it Vista? Nov 13, 2008

If you are using Vista, this may be a problem due to the User Account Control.

See what I wrote in another thread recently:

Another problem may be that when you installed SQL Express, you did not use the default password (it is in the manual, and it says you can change it, but it seems it is better to leave it as the default - it is something starting with with sa and then numbers - otherwise you can run into all kinds of problems. ▲ Collapse

Before Vista, I was using XP SP2 Nov 13, 2008

With XP, I had the same trouble with the antivirus software.
I had to completely disable it while I was using Across, otherwise it would not work at all.

If you have not done that yet, please try this - turn off the anti-virus software (even if just for a few minutes until you try this).

Problem solved Nov 26, 2008

Hi,

Thanks for your helpful replies.

The problem is resolved now and Across is running fine on my machine.

I did contact Across Support and they were very helpful with their prompt replies.
Simply write to them in detail about the problem, the systems and versions used etc. and they will send you a solution.

Simply write to them in detail about the problem, the systems and versions used etc. and they will send you a solution.

In case others face a similar problem - The solution that worked for me:

1) Uninstall FULLY all previous versions of Across and SQL server (if any), incl. Registry entries etc.

2) Download the latest version of Across Client and Patch from the Across website.

3) Install the Across Client first, followed immediately by the Patch.

4) Now connect to your customer's server and start Across, it will run through a brief patching process (will take less than 5-10 minutes)...and voila! Across starts working!

Cheers
