BI itself is not starting at boot. Once the computer boots I still have to launch it manually. But BI is trying something at boot up and throwing the error.
semantics are killing me....
BI does not start at boot = BI is not configured as service; BI does not run until user logs on to system and manually starts BI; BI stops running when user logs off
boot/reboot = power off system, power on system, or shutdown with restart
log on = sign on to computer with user/pwd credentials
BI is not configured as a service....
Is error seen every time you log on to system and manually run BI
or
Is error seen only once after system is rebooted and you log on and manually run BI; subsequent log-ons and starting BI do not create error
===
if you create a new user account and use it to start BI, do you still receive the error
(will determine if the error is generated at system level (registry entry) or user level (start/startup group, task manager/startup, computer management/task scheduler)
===
behaves as though there is an attempt being made to start BI through some automated means that has incorrect/invalid startup instructions. rather than clicking OK, bring up task manager and see what processes are currently active. there should be one that is running controlling the pop-up, select it and right-click... can you select PROPERTIES or FILE LOCATION; if so what are the results.
===
within the LOG files you are looking for application error/system error that is in the vein of "cannot find" "cannot start" "invalid file". clear all the log files, computer management/system
tools/event viewer/windows logs/ and for each one right click and CLEAR LOG. select CLEAR.
reboot system, log in, start BI
check log files again, they will be very small and easier to find any error/information message. the pop-up error may not generate anything in the log, but would be helpful to find if it does
