Help on env/compile issue

[jfd2]

Hello all,

I compiled the 7.5 tree with vs express 2010 and it can be run on the dev machine. when I moved to two other machines, the opendental crashed right away. i even tried the debug version and still cannot see any message except the OS saying "the opendental is crashed etc". here are my env for all the machines:

1) dev machine: used for compiling and runs ok
32b vista business, .net 3.5sp1 and 4.0 and enterprise lib 5.0 exist
2) client machine 1: 64b vista business .net 3.5sp1 and 4.0
3) client machine2: 32b vista home. .net 3.5sp1 and 4.0

i assume either there is something in the dev machine but not in the client machines. but I could not identify what really needed for the opendental to run except the .net libs.

Or is it some of the flags I did not set rigth in the compiling setting? i did not change anything when I open the solution, but made sure the ref path and the platform (x86) and release flag are all set when building.

Really appreciate your help. thanks so much.

I'm guessing your other two boxes are missing a critical .dll, or they have the wrong version.

Check the files in the OD folder on your other two boxes against those on the dev machine.

thanks for the reply, I actually copied the who dir from the dev machine to other machines. But I did a fold comparison and there was no difference between these OD folders. so if the dll is missing or wrong version, then must be some common ones somewhere.

Ok, I get little more. although not sure about the cause of my problem.

since vs10 let you chose the target .net platform to run. i found out that 5 of the projects (rdlengine, rdlview, reportdesigner, xcodebase, xdatabaseIntegritycheck) aare all targeted 2.0 but all others are targeting 3.5?

is this by design?

should all targeting one platform etc?

thanks.

i tried by changing all projects to targeting 3.5 and still make no difference when move to another machine.

[wjstarck]

No, as you found out, some still target 2.0.

So that's not the problem.

Another dummy question, do we need anything else, except the dotnet and all the compiled solution dir from the opendental. anything else did I miss?

[jfd2]

Ok, finally got this off. it is the directX versions on all those machines that are different. so I reinstalled the directX on all machines and recompiled the code. looks like it is fine now.

thanks.
