If anyone is having a problem with EOModeler on Windows XP, here’s
a solution:
---
I had a problem with EOModeler, it simply wouldn’t start.
It’s a part of WebObjects 5.2.4, that is WebObjects 5.2 that had
been updated to 5.2.4
The bug came in during the update.
The solution is this:
after the original installation of WebObjects 5.2, verify that
EOModeler works.
You can also check if you see the following processes running in task
manager:
nmserver.exe, machd.exe, pbs.exe –these are all necessary for
EOModeler to run.
Right Click My Computer and select Manage
Select Services
In the Services Menu, make all Apple Services manual and turn them off.
Go on with the WebObjects Update to 5.2.4
Turn the Apple Services back on and make them automatic.
Restart computer.
EOModeler should now work.

It's been a
long time since I had this problem, but I'm pretty sure that uninstalling and
re-installing WebObjects fixed the problem for me. I recall that I am very
careful when running the updates to 5.2.x that I turn off all of the services
first, the run the updaters, then turn them all back on as Automatic. You may
also want to verify WO is working after your initial 5.2 install, as I've had
trouble with the update installers in the past.

:-D. A
highly desirable solution. Fortunately, I have my PowerBook for my
non-corporate work. At least there's WOLips so I can pretend ProjectBuilder/Win
doesn't even exist. I don't think I could survive running ProjectBuilder on a
daily basis.
