Hi -

I upgraded from Devforce 3.1.4.4 to 3.6.0.2.

I am now having trouble with the app opening (it just starts and then shuts down.)

I think its related to Devforce, but am having problems troubleshooting.

The last log entry is:

IdeaBlade License: 'Express' on Assembly: 'DAL, Version=1.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=null'

The following dll's are included in the deployment directory:

Ideablade.Persistence.dll

Ideablade.Persistence.Rdb.dll

Ideablade.Persistence.Server.dll

Ideablade.Rdb.dll

Ideablade.UI.dll

Ideablade.UI.Winforms.dll

Ideablade.UI.Winforms.DotnetControls.dll

Ideablade.Util.dll

Apphelper.dll

and of course my own dll (DAL.dll)

Please help!

Thanks!

Brian

The most likely cause of this problem is that when you referenced the IdeaBlade DLL's in your application, you used the default for the "Requires Specific Version" reference property(which is "True"). If you did this. then your application will only run on a system that has DevForce 3.1.4.4 installed.

When you fix your application, change the "Requires Specific Version" to "False" so that you don't into this problem again.

If you deployed your app, it should not have problems running on a system that does not have any version of Devforce installed at all, but may have problems when you install a newer version of DevForce on that system.

Let me know which situation applies to you.

Thanks for the info.

I am trying to deploy to a computer with no Devforce install.

In my application, I had previously removed and re-added all references to devforce (adding them from the new 3.6.0.2 install).

I just tried setting all Ideablade references "Requires Specific Version" to "False" and rebuilding.

I am deploying with dll's (listed above) from my 3.6.0.2 install.

I am still getting the same error (app just closes).

Any other suggestions??

What does the DebugLog.xml file tell you? If this is an N-Tier application, you will need to look at both Client and Server logs. Looks at this information first, and I can then give you further information if needed.

All log entries look normal. This is a single tier.

The last log entry is:

IdeaBlade License: 'Express' on Assembly: 'DAL, Version=1.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=null'

No further logs after this point.

In my development environment, the above log is followed by:

"Loading UI binders from IdeaBlade.UI.WinForms.DotnetControls"

I can send complete log if you would like, but I don't see anything unusual.

Thanks.

I think I may have found the problem.

It looks like there is a new DLL dependency:

Ideablade.Verification.dll

Please confirm, but it looks like adding this solved the problem.

Thanks.

Send the complete log to mailto:davidk@ideablade.com - davidk@ideablade.com Also send a successful log from your Visual Studio environment.

That is correct. It is a new dependency.
