Randem Systems Support Board

Yes, I got your FTP. I see you are deploying a different version than you are developing with. You cannot do that. The CLSID's are different. You are developing with version 11.0 and are deploying 11.5. You need to develop with the same version you are deploying. Either you install the msi for 11.5 on your development machine or deploy 11.0 with your installation.
 
The version of the MSI file we supply is 11.5 Release 2.

I installed Virtual PC and then installed my application on it. Ran the application and sorry to say, got the Error Code 339 that was discussed  Posted on Thursday, December 18, 2008 - 04:22 am:
 
Hopefully you received my files via the FTP and the followup files and directions. Please let me know if you received them.
 
I will wait to here from you hopefully with a solution.

Imsorry, the database in the exe file is not correct for your testing. My routine initializes the db for new users.
After you install the app, unzip the attached file and copy it into Program Files\Ultimate_Sports_Pool.
 
 
To run the app, on the first screen, click the option button for REPORTS. The Report Listing screen shows. Select only the first one: LIST ALL GAMES. I did not set up the data for the other reports.

Your instructions were excellent. The FTP (I believe) worked. The name of the file is Sports303Release.exe.
 
Attached here, are the ISS and Project files used to create the above file.
Please let me know if the reports work on your system.
 
Thanks,
Sam

The procedure for IE and FTP:
 
1 - Enter ftp://ftp.randem.com
2 - Enter user name and password from logon screen
3 - When you get the screen that says FTP root at ftp.randem.com Go to View->Open FTP Site in Windows Explorer
4 - A Windows Explorer Window will open with the text file with the name pepsisc - Drag and Drop your files here
5 - Drag your file you want to upload from another Windows Explorer windows to the FTP windows and allow the upload (copy) to complete.
 
That's it!!!

1 - Let the file upload...
 
I didn't see an Upload button. I did drag the file over and tried it twice. If it is automatic, you said you didn't receive it.
 
On the Task bar, it did say Done.
 
I will be trying Virtual PC and be back to you with the results.
 
To you and family and friends, have a Very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.

1 - Let the file upload...
 
2 - Well, you have to find out just why it won't install on that machine. If when you removed the line it showed Repair then you might have already had a previous installation (possibly not complete) on that system that did not register the files. That is why I suggested you use MS Virtual PC 2007 so that you can test on a clean machine every time and you would know what to expect when the machine was not clean.

Ramden:
 
Two questions:
1. I should have asked in my post, what do I do AFTER I DRAG THE FILE to the screen?
 
2. What would your suggestion be to recreate the install.exe so that the reports work? You mentioned I do not need to change that line (msiexec). If I leave it as is, won't I have the same old Report problem.

Yes, the donation button is here https://randemsystems.com/freeware.html Thank you!  
 
After entering Username and Password, the screen said to drag the file Here. After I do that,what do I do?
 
Drag and drop the file there...
 
For testing I would suggest you use Microsoft's Virtual PC 2007. You can always have a clean system to test on.

After entering Username and Password, the screen said to drag the file Here. After I do that,what do I do?

Randem:
 
A friend of mine has a PC that does not have VB or Crystal Reports on it. Within the next couple days, I am going to try and install the application on his PC. He does have a previous version of my application but of course the Reports are not working. He was getting the error message described in an earlier post.
 
What would your suggestion be to recreate the install.exe so that the reports work? You mentioned I do not need to change that line (msiexec). If I leave it as is, he will have the same old Report problem.
 
One other question: Do you have a Donation url? After we get this working I would like to make one. It will not be much because I am disabled and on a fixed income but it will at least show my appreciation.

Here are parameters for the MSIEXEC app.
 
Windows

The FTP, that's what I thought you meant but there is no file there...
 
No you do not have to change the line, I just wanted to see what was happening on your system for the file not to be installed. This was on a clean system correct? If not that is why the Remove/Modify/Repair screen came up.
 
It is possible that you will need to reboot your system if files being replaced were in use.

ramden:
 
After the change of the msiexec line, I re-installed the application on another PC I have.
 
The Reports worked. I do however have a few comments and questions.
1. When running the install, the RDC Redistribution Install Wizard came up and asked if I wanted to do a Modify, Repair, or Remove. I chose REPAIR.  
2. At the end of the installation, the system told me I had to reboot my system to have the changes take place.
3. I noticed the applications for the reports ran slower.
 
My Questions:
1. Does this mean everytime I do a BUILD, I need to change the MSIEXEC line?
2. Does this mean everytime I or a user of my app does an INSTALL, they will need to reboot their system?
 
Sam

The request I was talking about was the FTP.
