Hi !
I'm currently trying VMware View.
I try to install View Composer, but I allways get error "Database cannot be found" during install.
vCenter is installed under Windows 2003 Standard SP2 32bit and use MSSQL Express 2005 (installed by vCenter).
The database was created in MSSQL, user also created.
The ODBC was created and say that everything is ok.
I search on google. Everything I found talk about ODBC from a 64bit OS.
Thanks you of your help.
Looking at your screenshot, it looks like you are using a UserDSN not a SystemDSN. View Composer requires a System DSN. See if this helps.
Nobody can help me ?
Hi MTALLER,
Welcome to VMware communities.
Have you created a DSN and DB for your VIEW Composer? If not please do it, you can find more information on this in below discussion...

You are right, I didn't create a SystemDNS.
It was now installed, but when I go to the web page (https://localhost:18443) I got nothing except a certificate warning.
I saw something about that last week.
You don't access it as a website. Just point your view server at it. Go to View Admin, Configuration, Servers and Add a vcenter server.
Yep, I see that few minutes after my post.
