I will be posting a beta build in the Posted Releases section later today that will have some new features that people have been waiting for, including this list, but I will not be posting any docs or samples along with the build.
I installed the beta 1.6.5.1 and noticed that in the About window all dll are showing version 1.6.5.0 except for the .exe files, is this correct?
Please take a look at this image.
FYI...this is a screen shot from a 64-bit test machine since I am farily confident that you are on a 64-bit machine. It is important that you were not in VS while installing, let the install finish, and then go back in as there were changes to the Extensibility assemblies to account for 64-bit machines. Otherwise if could be reporting wrong.
The setup put the updated libraries in this location:
For some reason the About form is looking at:
which had the old version of the libraries.
I will uninstall SF completely and make sure there is nothing else in these locations:
C:\Program Files\Common Files\MicroFour\StrataFrame
Then I will install it again and see what happen. Will do that now....
I remove SF again, and started the installation and modified the install folder to use: C:\Program Files\MicroFour\StrataFrame.
This time installation completed without errors, but when opening VS got this error message: "The Add-in StrataFrame Add-in Manager failed to load or caused an exception.
Of course all the Add in where installed at C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\MicroFour even though I did not select that folder, guess this is a feature of InstallAware since the installation is being done on a 64bit OS.
Notice that the folder C:\Program Files\Common Files\MicroFour\StrataFrame was created but with no files. Then I did the following:
I know you have tested this under Vista 64, but I am just reporting what I am experiencing with the installation.
I have tested, on many different 64-bit machines, and the install works fines. You are probably dealing with permission issues or something along those lines. I cannot reproduce every developers environment that uses StrataFrame, but we DO install on the following platforms prior to releasing an update (including a beta): Windows XP SP2, Windows Vista 32 Business, Windows Vista 64 Business, Windows Server 2003 R2, and now Windows Server 2008.
So I already know that the install works in a clean environment. There were some issues prior to the 1.6.5 release when we made some changes for a 64-bit environment for VS2008. But none of these issues exist.
