Re: Register OCXs for ALL users

What operating system are you testing on? We have used this installed on 15+ machines now at different clients sites with no problems at all (admittedly with problems when logging in as a standard user as per this thread). We are very confused by your errors and can only assume you don't have the Vi...

Re: Register OCXs for ALL users

What error did you receive? (I would expect an error regarding licence not being present). All known dependancies are included with the installer and I got our installation working ok on a freshly installed WindowsXP machine - but only when running the application as an administrator. Upon registeri...

Please try using the "Self register native library" option instead of "Extract registration info from native library".
Tried that - that's how I had it before trying the current option. Same results.
I'll send you a link through shortly.

Thanks

Re: Register OCXs for ALL users

I'm not getting the auto repair dialog anymore. I've completely removed the app & reinstalled several times now - no self repair window. But still no OCXs or DLLs are registered. After install and trying to run the application the only MsiInstaller entry in the event log states that the applicat...

Re: Register OCXs for ALL users

Yes we do use HKLU keys for our application - this is partly historical reasons (I didn't write the original application & I know they need moving!) and partly since different users on a single PC may be working on different projects. These settings relate to the current project database/directo...

Register OCXs for ALL users

I'm having trouble when installing our application for multiple users. The installer is Per Machine and I register our OCXs (stored under our own directory) using 'Extract registeration info from native library' option. I install as admin user (no problems) then switch to a standard user. No OCX's a...

Re: How to uninstall other applications

Thanks for the response - I'm on the right track now but having some issues getting it working. The MSI uninstall - I couldn't get it working until scanning the log file. It was failing as our install has to be Per Machine but our old install was Per User. Is there any way to fire off a Per User uni...

How to uninstall other applications

I've made a new installer for our application which works great. Now I need to be able to uninstall our previous version automatically. This was installed with a Visual Studio 2005 installer and then patched using our own patching tool. So now I need to: - Uninstall two MSI packages (for which I hav...

Re: SQL Scripts - Database Restoration

Thanks for that. I actually had a go using execution of SQL scripts from within Advanced Installer (not using sqlcmd.exe) and found it to work absolutely fine. This was using SQL 2005 Express restoring a single database using the following SQL script: RESTORE DATABASE [SAMPLE] FROM DISK = N'C:\Sampl...

SQL Scripts - Database Restoration

I've had a look through the various threads on here in regards to restoring databases using SQL scripts but still have a few questions. I'm aware that it seems only possible to perform a database restore by executing a script using 'sqlcmd.exe' and not directly with Advanced Installer (has this chan...
