Uninstall Crash

Daniel Essin — Tue, 13 Dec 2005 09:47:35 GMT

I was running uninstall in preparation for installing new version because cagutil -i framework.dll failed.

The uninstaller displayed "Uninstall Visual Studio Templates" and the crashed with:
EventType : clr20r3 P1 : msiexec.exe P2 : 3.1.4000.1823
P3 : 4236424f P4 : microfour strataframe install P5 : 1.3.2150.36263
P6 : 43812c30 P7 : a6 P8 : 6 P9 : system.nullreferenceexception

I don't know how this will affect a subsequent install attempt.

Yes, the threading within the uninstall gets ahead of itself and the progress window does not exist yet, so it throws a null reference exception. We increased the wait handler's timer, so it should not give you the error any more.

Hi Trent.

Got the same when uninstalling the framework. But just ignored and it worked fine.

Best.

Respond to the message and the un-install will continue. We will attempt to reproduce this and correct the issue. Thanks.

Latest Installer Crashed during "Install Visual Studio Templaces" phase. The error is:
An unhandled exception of type 'System.NullReferenceException' occurred in MicroFour StrataFrame Install.dll

Additional information: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.

The uninstall seems to have worked in spite of the error.

Thanks

Daniel,

There should not be an issue with the installation of the new package. As long as StrataFrame was removed, you should be in good shape. Before installing the new setup, you can verify that the following business objects are no longer registered in the GAC.

MicroFour StrataFrame AddIngs
MicroFour StrataFrame Base
MicroFour StrataFrame Business
MicroFour StrataFrame DBEngine
MicroFour StrataFrame Extensibility
MicroFour StrataFrame UI

To remove the entries (after StrataFrame has been uninstalled) simply select the item and press the delete key. The MicroFour StrataFrame License can be left in the GAC. In fact, it will not let you manually delete it anyway.

You should now be ready to load the new install. This should get you going. Let me know if you have any questions.
