Problem with bug
-
Hi guys We have this exe file on the internet for the people to download, the problem is when somebody downloads the exe and tries to install it, the program asks them to download dot net 3.5 first. And the user is asked if he wants to download dotnet3.5 and when you click yes, you get a messagebox saying "downloading otnetfx.exe", followed by another messagebox saying download failed. The only thing I have figured out is that it should be downloading "dotnetfx.exe" and not "otnetfx.exe". So there is a spelling mistake by a coder somewhere. I have done a quicksearch of "otnetfx.exe" in the current project, but nothing came out of it. So guys can anyone tell me where to find this code and how to fix it

Correct. You will need to change/correct the setup application to download the correct file.

If you aren't the original creator of the setup program that is being downloaded you will need to contact that company/person and have them fix it.

I work for the company, the original coder has left the company and this is my first week in a coding environment. The boss does not know any coding, all he wants is the problem to be fixed.

You need to use the same tool the original coder used to create the setup application (which could be Visual Studio, InstallShield, Wise, WIX, InnoSetup, or any other "installation creation" application). Open the installer project file, make the correction and then rebuild the setup application.

He has used Visual Studio 2005. So where will I find the installer project.

Well, hopefully it has been checked in to whatever source control system you are using and is a project in the Visual Studio solution. Look for a project with a .vdproj extension.

No Scott, There is no .vdproj extensioned file. We have used VisualC# express 2005 to make the project. If that helps.

It sounds like we are talking about different projects. What you need to find is the application and project file that was used to create the setup application, not the program that is being installed. This is typically a "Visual Studio Deployment Project", an InstallShield .ism project, etc. That is what needs to be changed. The only other possibility is that you have a completely custom written setup application. In that case, you would have a regular Visual Studio project file and would then need to change the source code for that application.

As I remember - I don't think you can make set up projects in the express editions [apart from your own custom ones] (I could be wrong!). If so, the previous guy must have used some other software as previously suggested. On a side note - check the EULA for the express edition. Again, I'm fairly certain that it is not licenced for use in a commercial environment apart from for evaluation. This also prohibits 'Go Live' scenarios where the application is only to be used in house. It's unlikely to be discovered - but your boss should be made aware if he's breaking the EULA. Check it out first before scaring him!

I think this .nsi file has got something to do with the installation it has these scripts which I have never seen in mylife.
InstallDotNet:
ExecWait 'dotnetfx.exe' Delete "dotnetfx.exe" Call IsDotNETInstalled Pop $R3 StrCmp $R3 0 DotNetFailed Goto CompleteInstallation DotNetFailed: MessageBox MB\_OK "The Microsoft.NET Framework setup has failed. Please restart the PiPe setup, or install the latest .NET Framework directly from Microsoft's website." QuitCan you tell me what the file does and what language is it.

Yes, a .nsi is the script file created by the NullSoft Scriptable Install System (NSIS) (http://nsis.sourceforge.net/Main_Page[^]). You will need to download and install NSIS, make the necessary changes and then rebuild the installer.

Ignore my previous post re licencing "there are no licensing restrictions for applications built using Visual Studio Express Editions" http://www.microsoft.com/express/support/faq/default.aspx[^] Q7. :-D
