@DonBakke Always present? Sort of. It would definately be controlled manually. I think the idea is to reset that date according to whatever we install that requires a payment that they will try and avoid. New work? Payment terms + leeway. New Lic…

Thanks @DonBakke. Definately not bulletproof. I was banking on most of our (newer) Customers not knowing they could just run OInsight.exe ;-) I am intrigued by the API idea. I will discuss it more internally.
-
Thanks @KevinFournier and @AusMarkB That totally makes sense then as to why there is no return!!! I already knew the 'workaround' (i.e. the right way) but its good to have some reasoning behind the why.
-
@AusMarkB Glad to know we aren't the only ones ! Your explanation makes sense and lines up with what we are seeing. I guess internally 20100 must be the start of the Goldilocks of numbers whereby it doesnt try IConv as a fallback...

Definately OI. 20100. {nice round number that. conincidence ...?} With the 'fix': 11/01/2023
-
let me take out the fix code and drop a debug to double check....

@BarryStevens SRPEditor.ocx supercedes SRPUtil.ocx for all newer versions. However, SRPUtil.ocx is needed if you use any older version of the Editor. Kevin explains here: https://forum.srpcs.com/discussion/1039/srp-editor-3-1-0-0-ocx/p1

@DonBakke, Spot on. About the easiest change I have ever made and way better than the rabbit hole I was about to go down! You, sir, are a scholar and a gentleman!

Turns out we were both right. It was from Revelation, courtesey of Jared. I reviewed my past emails and Don put me onto Jared who put my onto: https://revelation.com/revweb/KB_Articles/KB0299.htm {for those that like it from the source}
-
Thanks all for the contributions and explanations and clarifications. @DonBakke. Your list is similar to mine (ignoring the windllfiles copied into 'root' by install). I included oiscrctl.dll because my installer wanted it. My only follow up ques…
-
@KevinFournier, I get that. Without hijacking Barry's actual issue, I am asking from the opposite direction though. Once there, even just as a test, is it worthwhile leaving there? I am only asking because we have had issues with those files pre…
-
@DonBakke, Would you think it good practice to leave VSPrint7.ocx and VSPDF.ocx registered locally, rather than potentially over the network where the clientsetup registered it?
-
@DonBakke You are on a roll. Right again! I did the automatic translation in my head to my fingertips while typing. It is just "MAIN". "FW_MAIN" is the equivalent Opto screen. Embarrassing you know my system better than I do! ;-)
-
@DonBakke Yet again, you are correct! It wasn't in the Login form where I was looking, it was the FW_MAIN canvas form. As you indicated, it was hiding RTI_OINSIGHT (and AREV) based on the value in a table. Thank you both for your help :)
-
@JaredBratu Thanks for the correction. It has been a bit since I have had to do this and I incorreclty described the registry side of how that worked. Thanks for the tip about the rewrite rule. I agree, that is a better option and one I had not …
-
@JaredBratu. I already have that in my shortcut, along with /AP /UN /PW to automatically launch me into Dev Mode. Once in that menu, when I click the 'Launch App' button on the sidebar, the application loads and the Dev Menu dissapears. It only re…
-
I think they might be superfluos... We don't even setup handler mappings any more, just make sure CGI-exe is enabled. I know it is in the OI documentation but it was pointed out to me by a wise master a couple of years ago that OECGI3/4 Handler M…
-
One line at a time @DonBakke, and hoping it is not just covering the Vig! In my opinion, most decisions based on the 'here and now' end up costing more in the long run. I think most of that is foreseeable as well....
-
I sympathise. Unfortunately one can't control the legacy Technical Debt they have to pay down :(
-
@BarryStevens, @DonBakke is right. My example above was a copy/paste job where I forgot to put in the WOW6432Node subpath for my OECGI3 entry to identify it as 32-bit. I have corrected that. I didn't know that OECGI3 didn't have a 64-bit counterp…
-
@BarryStevens Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Revsoft should be the x64 OECGI path. Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\Revsoft should be the x32 OECGI path. That default location becomes a 'fallback' if the system is setup to h…
-
@Vince, I might have an answer... @DonBakke, You and I diagnosed an issue back in mid-2020 (archived-version-srputilities-1-6-1#latest) where it became clear that we had SRP debug code throughout the system once upon a time. It stands to reason t…
-
@BarryStevens Fair enough. I expected as much. That will make our own little implementation of CI/CD (as rudimentary as it is at the moment) a little more difficult but that just means I need to implement better practices to manage it! Log file …
-
@BarryStevens. I had definately been thinking of implementing something like that. I just didnt realise until you noted it that I could make that part of the Deploy. I take it that is a manual attach/edit of every deploy created?
-
@BarryStevens Handy little cheat sheet you have there. I will try your suggestion and report my results back. Cheers!
-
@BarryStevens I know this has been a bit but finally got around to giving this a bit of a test. These are my findings: I originally had this [COPY TABLES] .\APPDATA\DATA/DICT.EMPLOYEE_SIMTRANS/GLOBAL .\APPDATA\DATA/DICT.MATERIAL_SIMTRANS/GLOBAL …
-
@DonBakke. Sorry Don, I was referring to the need to manually uninstall "Revelation Software .NET xxx Components" first. Like I said, I actually do the full uninstall but not because I actually read the instructions for that! I dont mind the ex…
-
@DonBakke I manually Uninstall the full Client (from the old-school Programs & Features Control Panel) before a resintall but thats just because it is my habit for everything. I am pretty sure most of the others at my end here dont do that. A…
-
@KevinFournier @BarryStevens RECEIVER makes sense. That gives me a path to go down. I am guessing this is effectively what the SRP Editor is doing with its Status window? Thank you Gentlemen.
-
@BarryStevens I am ashamed to say I have never actually used the Viewer before! Probably read about it / forgot about it. Handy though. What I am after though is intercepting that output so I can store it in an Array from within the procedure i…
