Hi
I uploaded XSharpSetup27Public.zip to my Webserver. But i cant Install it. It doesnt support the windows version.
Its Windows Server 2019

Horst

Horst,
What did you install:
- the compiler
- the runtime
The installer has no minimum Windows version requirement .
The runtime needs at least .Net Framework 4.6.
Robert

Hi Robert
i have the newst .net framework on it.
version 2.6.1.0 was not a problem to install. i think its the installer, because thats the first msg i got when i start the exe.
See pic

Horst,
That is strange.
We are creating the installer with Inno Setup.
We have not included a "MinVersion" settings and according to the docs it should default to:


See https://jrsoftware.org/ishelp/topic_set ... ersion.htm

Is there a setup log file in your Temp folder ? If so, can you send that to me ?
(Setup Log YYYY-MM-DD #NNN.log). You can also run the installer with /log=yourlogfilename

Hi
Logile in the zip

Horst,
From the log: Apparently Windows Server 2019 is returning the wrong version information.
I checked in the install script for X# 2.6 and we had a version in the script before (we are now relying on the default for Inno): I'll put that back in the script for the next installer

The quickest solution that I can give is:
- Install 2.6
- Install 2.7 on another machine
- Copy the 2.7 folder from the other machine over the 2.6 folder. DO NOT copy the Uninst folder
- Run the deploy<nn>.cmd file(s) (in the uninst folder) on the server (the ones that were created by the 2.6 installer) as administrator.

Hi Robert
Do you have a cmd batch for installing only the runtime for the app into the GAC ?
I tried to remove xsharp and then i copied all xsharp and vo dll's to the my bin folder. but thats doesnt work like in VO.

Otherwise i will go back to the 2.6 Version also on my develop pc.

Horst

Horst,

Create a batch file with the following contents:

cd "c:Program Files (x86)XSharpRedist"
for %%i in (XSharp.????.dll) do gacutil /nologo /i %%i
for %%i in (XSharp.???.dll) do gacutil /nologo /i %%i
for %%i in (XSharp.??.dll) do gacutil /nologo /i %%i
for %%i in (XSharp.Macro*.dll) do gacutil /nologo /i %%i
for %%i in (VO*.dll) do gacutil /nologo /i %%i
pause

Open a Visual Studio command prompt and run this batch file as administrator

Hi Robert
Thanks a lot.

Hi Horst,

the most interesting part of your log file is this line:
That´s strange, because it seems that your installer exe has these (four) compatibility mode settings. The reported version 6.0.6000 is correct, because that´s the initial Vista version+build number. "VISTARTM" means: the installer runs in "Windows Vista" mode .

When you look at your registry, does this path exist ?
are there any entries ?

When I set the installer exe compatibility options as shown in the attached image i´m able to reproduce the error "This program does not support the version of Windows your computer is running" on my Win10 machine. The created registry entries in the Layers subdir are the fullpath of the installer exe and the same compatibility values as in your log file.
Now, when i uncheck in the compatibility settings the OS checkbox the installer runs, because that removes "VISTARTM" from the registry setting.

Here´s a link that describes the compatibiltiy mode and its values
