Failed to bring up UDS Control Panel

Question

Hi,
I have installed FORTE-UDS 5.0.3 on a Windows 2000 professional machine. The problem is, when I tried to bring up the UDS Control Panel, I see the start up screen flashed by and nothing happened.
From the DOS prompted, I manually invoked the command:
C:\forte\install\bin\ftexec.exe -fs -fss -fi bt:c:\forte\USERAPP\ENVIRONM\CL0\FCONTROL
and got the following error message:
ftexec Forte Version 5.0.3

Answer 1

Thanks Roberto for your reply. I could not find "windows sockets.dll" anywhere. This .dll file does not exist even on the Win 2000 machines that I had no trouble invoking UDS Control Panel. My machine has wsock32.dll in the C:\WINNT\system32 directory and the system path is also set to point to that directory.
By the way, when someone else logs onto the same machine, he has no trouble bringing up UDS Control Panel. The problem occurs only if I logon. I also compared the environment variables with that person's environment variables and they are exactly the same.
