Bug #50
Running TH3 on a computer that never had TH installed throws errors
0%
Description
If you download the .zip and then compile and run TH3 you are welcomed to a whole myriad of errors.
See the attached files for the errors, this is on a pristine Windows 10 that never had DataFlex installed.
First installed DF19 beta 3
Then downloaded current TH3 (Hammer3-development-snapshot-20170615), unzipped and then compiled.
The attached screenshots are the errors in numbered order.
Between error 6 and error 7 there's a temporary lock up, error 7 after that is recursive as it is triggered from the update in the toolbar.
Additional note, the Windows 10 unzip saw the AppSrc subfolders as files and could not unzip correctly (weird)
History
#1 Updated by Wil van Antwerpen almost 7 years ago
Error image 7, Invalid message 98 Get_PrecompileMode was fixed by adding a test for the object in TH3BuildToolbar.
If (hoCompiler) Begin
Get piCompilingMode of hoCompiler to bEnabled
End
Error image 5, invalid message msg_show_page_buttons and
Error image 4, invalid message msg_hide_all_buttons have both been fixed by adding condition from
If (iPages<=0) Procedure_Return
Error image 1, info box that tells you that Hammer2 cannot be found and sets windows system32 as a default instead has been changed to set the current folder to psHomePath of the Hammer 3 workspace.
In cEditorProperties, doChangeCurrentFolder
//
Get psHome of (phoWorkspace(ghoApplication)) to sFolder
Move (sMessage+"Changing current directory to '"+sFolder+"' instead.") to sMessage
Error image 2, image 3, image 6, changed logic in cWorkspaceHandlerBase procedure InitWithCurrentWrkSpc added new method "Send CheckSelectedVdfVersionExists" which enumerates all currently installed DataFlex versions on the machine and verifies if the selected DataFlex version is in the list. If it is then fine, do nothing, if it isn't change the selected DataFlex version to the last one in the list.
By doing so and by addressing a DataFlex 19 registry change we now have a Hammer3 that appears to work.
#2 Updated by Wil van Antwerpen almost 7 years ago
- Status changed from New to Resolved
No more errors on my end, just 2 info-boxes where TH3 says it can't find things and will change the defaults to something it knows.
#3 Updated by Wil van Antwerpen almost 7 years ago
- Status changed from Resolved to Closed
No more reports on people not able to get it to work, so closing this bug.
