I'm attempting to install and activate SF on terminal server (windows 2003). The program bombs immediately. I deactivated my license(s) before attempting this (my dev machine and my backup dev machine both took a dive). See attached error dialog...

One other thought here too, Greg.  If you are having issues with the GAC on this machine, you can move that MicroFour StrataFrame AddIns.dll file whereever you need to and then just change the XML text inside of the AddIns file to point to the desired location of that file.  Just another thought.

How do I define the assembly used? I.e. what is the tag and what rules apply?

OK, after a bit of playing around, I figured it out. Your idea worked Trent.



I updated the Addins file with:







I.e.

Cool , I figured that might get you going.

Hey, I forgot to thank you guys! Thanks!



It's been a rough couple of weeks. Both my dev computers blew up...both quite literally. The first had a power supply blow...smoke, sparks, sizzling noises...very exciting. Unfortunately, it also toasted the MB. A bit more than a week later, a lighting strike got through my APS surge/lighting strike protector and my batter backup and another surge protector and toasted the MB on the other dev computer. The parts for the first computer weren't in yet, so I was scrambling to get SF setup on a TS (which is working very nicely, thanks to your help).

Nothing like the smell of a small electrical fire to wake you up in the morning, boy

Hi,

I have the same problem like Greg but I have no folder called C:\Documents and Settings\MyUser\Application Data\Microsoft\MSEnvShared.

Where must I copy the StrataFrame2008.AddIn ?

Thanks

David

Hi David.

Have you got Vista on your machine?

If so, the path will be:

C:\Users\MyUser\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\MSEnvShared\AddIns\

 

Hope it helps.

Hi Ivan,

I have windows server 2003.

OK, then it should be C:\Documents and Settings\MyUser\Application Data\Microsoft\MSEnvShared\AddIns.

Just checking... the Application Data folder is usually a hidden file. Have you changed your Windows Explorer to show Hidden Files under Options?

I did that. I set the option "Show hidden files"

but no folder MSEnvShared in C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Microsoft\

just "Office" one. Is it normal ?

Try creating the MSEnvShared\AddIns by hand and copy the StrataFrame2008.AddIn into it.

Hi,

I created the folder MSEnvShared\AddIns and copied the StrataFrame2008.Addin

And when I start Visual Studio 2008 I have these messages.

Why when I install SF on my computer with Windows XP it works correctly and when I try on the server with windows 2003 server nothing works ??

David

Hi,

I succeed by copying the files which works on my computer to the server.
But at each start, I have the DataBase Connection Wizzard that appears.
Can I desactivate it ?

Thanks in advance.

David

Hi David.

It sounds like you are facing a permissions issue.

Have a look at this post: http://forum.strataframe.net/FindPost15562.aspx

Let us know if you get it going.

Cheers.
