I'm evaluating the Boötes ActiveGantt control. The control works fine on my machine. But when I share my Access application with other colleagues they get the error message "control does not contain an object"
Public Function ActiveGanttVCCtl1() As ActiveGanttVCCtl
Set ActiveGanttVCCtl1 = ActiveGanttVCCtl1A.Object ' <= Error at this line
End Function
How can I deploy my Access application with this control? Do I have to run the ActiveGantt installation procedure on each client machine?
Assuming you are using Version 3.1.0, you at least have to run regsvr32.exe to register AGVC.ocx in other machines.
Do I have to run the ActiveGantt installation procedure on each client machine?
Either that, or create an installer that copies the required ActiveGantt components (.ocx, .dll, or whatever) to the target machine and registers them as required (assuming that the trial version allows it).

I'm trying to package and deploy a wpf application. I used install shield and I have created the setup file. When I try running the setup file it keeps throwing this error code
1925: it needs admin privileges to run the setup.
How do I configure the setup file to be run by any user? Should I make any changes in the registry during the creation of setup file in install shield? Is there anyway to work around this problem?
Thanks
It sounds like you're trying to create a per-user installation. Since Windows Vista, this requires several steps, but was made simpler with Windows 7. I would check a verbose log in case it highlights any specific problems, and if not, follow this general advice:
If this is always a per-user installation, set General Information > Require Administrative Privileges to No and set the ALLUSERS property to empty.
If this is only conditionally per-user, leave them as Yes and 1 respectively, and use the MSIINSTALLPERUSER property with ALLUSERS=2 to select a per-user installation at run time. Note that this only works on Windows 7 (MSI 5.0) and later.
Ensure that your setup.exe, if you are using one, does not elevate. Set Required Execution Level to Invoker in the setup.exe tab of the Releases view.
If you are not using MSIINSTALLPERUSER, ensure that you are not installing any resources to any machine locations. This includes installation files to the ProgramFilesFolder, registry keys to HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT or HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE, or other machine-level items such as Windows Services. Note that you may have to exclude services from MSIINSTALLPERUSER scenarios as well.
I'm trying to install a IBM WebSphere MQ Client v8.0.0.3 on a Windows 7 SP 1 Enterprise machine, however I fail.
The installation starts, I select the language, splash comes on and after a bit the splash goes away and I'm left with a "Installation Wizard was interrupted", even though I click nothing.
I run it as administrator, and am a member of the local administrators group.
The installation log: https://gist.github.com/anonymous/a1ff7efe58fe7c006297
Edit:
A colleague with the appropriate mqm rights tried to install it, but failed also.
Everyone else here uses Windows server 2008 SP1 enterprise and have no problem with the installation.
Edit2:
It seems that the error is coming because of our directory structure:
Error 1327.Invalid Drive: H:\
We have our local settings, including appsettings on a server, instead of on the local machine, and the installer doesn't like it. JDK gives the same error.
There are many ways for a Windows MQ install to fail. In a Windows environment one of the frequent reasons is that even though the ID performing the install is an administrator, it doesn't have the correct domain rights. These include, for example, to query the SAM on the Domain Controller.
Please see Configure IBM MQ accounts for instructions on how to configure the service account under which MQ will run. Obviously, the account performing the install must have a superset of the same rights. Since the question fails to mention this critical pre-req step, I'm assuming it hasn't been performed.
It is possible that prior installations or a failed install will leave artifacts on the server which interfere with subsequent installations. This is especially true when installing V8.0. Since there is at least one failed install in this case, I would recommend using the IBM provided cleanup tool as described in Spring Cleaning a Windows MQ Installation. This will remove old registry entries and directories that alter the behavior of the installer.
Branching out a bit further, the 1603 error from MSIEXEC is pretty generic. According to the good folks at MSIGEEK, the following are some common causes for that error:
Short file name creation is disabled on the target machine.
An Install Script custom action is prototyped incorrectly.
A file is locked and cannot be overwritten.
The Microsoft Windows Installer Service is not installed correctly.
The Windows Temp folders are full.
The full article on debugging 1603 errors is here.
In this specific case, it appears one or more WMQ product prerequisites is not installed:

Everything T-Rob has said is valid and correct, however for this specific case, this feels like one you need to take up with IBM as a defect.
I've been looking through the source of the place you are failing and there is no valid codepath I can see from the last line you have traced before a subsequent line which would say something like "MMC prereq satisfied" (or not satisfied, or querying a property, but it would say something). This implies to me we have hit an unhandled exception in the code and hence aborted straight out. You could try a silent install to see if that helps, but I wouldnt hold out much hope.
So for me the thing it seems to be trying to do is to look in the system directory for mmc.exe - Does that exist on your system and if so look at its properties and what is the version of that file (right mouse in explorer, properties and find the one listing the file properties)
We saw this problem with the V8 MQ installer. I had Offline Files disabled on my Windows 7 box, and a coworker did not. He disabled Offline Files, rebooted, and the installer succeeded.
I have also encountered this error and upon further investigation I realized that (using the MQParms_silent.ini file) I had forgotten to un-comment the AGREETOLICENSE="yes" from the provided default.
Hope that helps.
I need to create installer package for WCF(service) class library,which i created in VS2012 with .net framework 4.5.
2.I try to install the service manually using VS2012 command prompt with the following link, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vTPCWrZedKI
Actually it put entry in Window services, when i try to start the service manually i am getting an error like "The service on local computer started and then stopped,Some services stop automatically if they are not in use by other services or programs.
I tried to fix those errors by changing to local system account and clearing the evenlog,
but nothing works fine for me.
I tried it using Advance installer by providing the dll file in Services tab,but it fails to start the service getting an error like "Verify that you have sufficient privileges to start the stystem sevices".
Please tell me how can i proceed further?
I don't need to use third party softwares like wix for creating installer package.
*Is there any way to achieve this task. If so please guide me and give me a sample application to achieve this task.*
I am spending more than 10 days for this task..
Awaiting for your repliessss!!!

As we tried to deploy a new project that connects to an Oracle database, we encountered some problems..
On my development workstation, I have my Oracle dll's installed in c:\app\oracle\product\11.2.0\client_1\BIN but on the development web server, it's in stalled in c:\oracle\product\11.2.0\client_1\BIN (noticed NOT in the app folder).
When an application is deployed, those dll's that are referenced need to be in the same location on both machines. So needless to say, we get an error from the development server.
In order to fix this, we tried a few things -
Move the Oracle install to c:\app... on my machine and rebuild from my development machine. This didn't work because there are relative dll's that rely on that path.
Because 1 didn't work, we tried to reset the environment path variables to c:\oracle on my machine. That didn't work.
tried to copy the needed dll's into my bin directory because my understanding is Visual Studio will build from the GAC, then from the bin directory. That didn't work.
Knowing that re-installing Oracle on the development server to c:\app\Oracle isn't an option, has anyone else come across this problem?
You need to make sure that your Oracle install is setup correctly. I have a few utilities that can assist with this.
Step 1 -
The utilities below will confirm first that .net works with Oracle on your server
http://tsells.wordpress.com/2010/02/18/oracle-connection-tester-for-net-applications/
Step 2 -
If the utility above worked - then go to step 3. Otherwise - .net can't see oracle on this machine. Check your path statement first - make sure the oracle bin directory is pointing to is the correct one. If not - change it and try again.
If this doesn't work - I recommend uninstalling oracle completely and reinstalling. Use the following steps.
Stop any services (start - run - services.msc) below that are running
oracle mts recovery
Distributed Transaction Coordinator
Delete all oracle directories from the file system (C:\app, C:\Program Files | C:\Program Files (x86(
Remove Oracle entries from the system path
Remove any Oracle entries from the environment variables (if they exist) such as ORACLE_HOME
Open the registry editor (start -- run -- regedit) and remove any oracle entries from the following key
HKLM\Software\
HKLM\Software\Wow6432Node (64 bit machines only)
Empty Recycle bin (makes me feel better) :)
Reboot the machine
Download one of the two items
Oracle Client Installation (full)
ODAC (Oracle Data Providers)
Install them (make sure if you choose the client version - you use a minimum of the runtime install) - do NOT use the instant client - it never seems to work properly.
Copy the TNSNames.ora file over
Test with the utility again. It should be successful.
Step 3 -
If the utility above worked - then you need to make sure the bit level of your application matches the bit level of the Oracle client installation. For the app - this will be the bit level of the application pool.
Notes - the oracle.dataaccess.dll file in the bin folder is used to help create the images (ngen, aspnet compilation). Once you attempt to call the oracle data provider for .net - it is routed to your client installation to perform the actually data access.
I have a legacy VB (visual basic) 6 application that connects to Oracle 8 database. We have to migrate this to Oracle 11g. (Heads up: I have never worked on VB)
The application is shipped to 1000+ users as an EXE file. Here is what i need help on:
For Developers, I understand they will need to install new oracle client for the ODBC drivers and once they test their application on 11g. Once they are done they will publish a new EXE file.
Users, Will install this new EXE file but will this be sufficient ? or the users will need to install something extra other than the new application (like a oracle 11g client, DLL files etc) on their end as well ?
Can a VB 6 app be packaged in such a way that it copies all the DLL/dependencies along with it so that end users do not need to install anything else ?
-- Vivek
I can't believe the previous developers just copied the EXE file! I know that the run-time is installed on most recent versions of Windows, but that is ridiculous!
You can use VB6's "Package and Deployment Wizard". Why not try it out? It will pick up all components contained in the References and Components dialogues, and any DLLs referenced in a Declare statement. However, if those components have dependencies, you might have to add them manually.
