Error occurred while deploying StrataFrame data

Hi,



I was running the setup of the StrataFrame application framework and hit a problem in deploying of the StrataFrame Data. Please see attached.



I have SQL Server 2005 Express and Visual Studio 2005 (VSTO) installed.



Any ideas? Thanks.





Best regards,



Jude.

If you check the C:\Program Files\Common Files\MicroFour\StrataFrame folder, there should be a StrataFrame_results.log file that will contain the details of the deployment process.  If you can find that file, you can post it here, and it will give us some more information.

Hi Ben,



Please see attached. I appended the extension .txt to the file as .log is not a permitted attachment file type.



Thanks.





Best regards,

It's strange that it would let you deploy both databases and then not let you deploy the data.  Are you using 'sa' to login to the SQL server and deploy the data?  Or are you using Windows Auth?  Basically, whatever user you specify to use during the install to deploy the databases needs to have the proper permissions on the server.  Also, what version of SQL Server are you using?  I'm assuming at least SQL Server 2000... 2000 is the minmum requirement, but with SQL Server 2000, you have to have at least SP3 installed.

Hi Ben,

The authentication mode was Windows Authentication and my account is a member of the local Administrators.  SQL Server 2005 Express (default instance) was the database system.

Thanks.

 

Best regards,

Jude

Hi,

Is there a way to deploy the StrataFrame database after the setup?  Thanks.


Best regards,

Jude.

Jude,

All you have to do is re-run the setup and it will go through a "repair" deployment which will allow you to enter the SQL Server connection information and deploy the database to the specified SQL Server.  Smile

Hope this helps.

Hi,
 
I discovered that the error was captured in another log file, i.e. StrataFrameSample_results.log.  Please see attached.
 
The error was as follows.
 
X 05/06/2006 10:56:36 AM -> An error occurred while deploying the data to the server.String was not recognized as a valid DateTime.
 
Thanks.
 
 
Best regards,

That's what I was afraid of...

Jude, what version of Windows XP do you have installed (language)?  And what language of .NET do you have installed?  We have a test server with different versions of Windows XP that we use for testing the install in languages other than "en-us."  However, it doesn't look like we your version running.

Hi Ben,
 
The installation finally worked!  Here's what I did to resolve it.
 
I'm using Windows XP SP2 (US English).  My system's regional option for date display was customized to "dd/MM/yyyy" (short date) and "dddd, d MMMM yyyy" (long date).  After I changed them to "MM/dd/yyyy" and "dddd, MMMM dd, yyyy" respectively, the installation worked!
 
See the attached picture for the correct settings I made.
 
Thank you!
 
 
Best regards,
 
Jude.

Thanks for the help, Jude.  Now I know what to fix Smile

I'll get the installation fixed so that for future updates, you don't have to change your settings just to do the install.
