Problems with installing Aspen V8.6
Thread Content
DATETIME Thu Sep 13 13:06:32 2018: It was not possible to initialize the Aspen Properties Enterprise Database. The configuration file could not be found at C:\ProgramData\AspenTech\APED V8.6\config.aem. Please use the Aspen Properties Database Configuration Tester to diagnose and resolve this issue. My computer runs Windows 10 64-bit, but I have installed Aspen V8.6, which is a 32-bit software. After the installation was complete, I encountered the problem mentioned above; I tried many methods found online, but still couldn’t resolve it. However, Aspen Plus can be used normally; following Teacher Sun Lanyi’s tutorial, it turns out that there are no issues with either the heat exchanger or the compressor. I would like to ask the experts on the forum: what are the main impacts of the above issue, and are there any good solutions?
Have you solved it? I have Win10 with 8.4 installed, and I’m facing the same issue
It hasn’t been resolved; as long as ASPEN PLUS works, I don’t worry about it. I have a generic version, version 8.6; many of the files in it are from version 8.4
After uninstalling V8.6 and reinstalling version V8.4, Aspen HYSYS cannot connect to the enterprise database. This issue occurred when SQLManagementStudio_x64_CHS for SQL12 was downloaded from Microsoft’s official website. After logging in with a SQL Server account, restore the APV84, FACT84, and NISTV84 databases. Then, make the settings in the database manager within Aspen Properties; in the dialog box that appears when right-clicking to register a database, select SQL, enter sa as the login name, and use the password set for SQL as the password. Load the three databases: APV84, FACT84, and NISTV84. Just confirm it. Select the Aspen Properties Enterprise Database from the database selector. Then, when logging in to Aspen HYSYS, there is no longer any message indicating that it cannot connect to the enterprise database. Refer to the tutorial at https://cloud.tencent.com/developer/news/252864 to install SQLManagementStudio_x64_CHS; just click next throughout the process. If you’re not confident, you can also search for tutorials on Baidu.
