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…
-
@DonBakke, Sorry, I wasnt being clear (I was probably just having the full conversation in my head and not 'on paper'). What I meant to say was "had turned on HTTP logging for debugging purposes". I used the term debugging in a generic sense of t…
-
@DonBakke I have done some testing and your suugesstion will work quite nicely for what I need. Much appreciated!
-
@DonBakke Yes, that would be my assumption too from a logical point of view.
-
@DonBakke That is fantastic! That sounds exactly like what I want. I can live with those caveats. It just means I have to write in a little more logging and error trapping than I inherited. I am guessing these engines have licence implications? …
-
@DonBakke. I have only ever passed HTML/JSON tvia IIS through to the service for the HTTP Framework to process. Looks like I might have to do some reading!
-
@DonBakke So you are suggesting that if I have the OEServer already running as a service (for web API calls) I could use that?
-
@DonBakke It is written as a service so no GUI. It will grab and process something from a external SQL database if entries are there. If not, no worries. If there are errors, they will output to a log file silently.
-
@JaredBratu I wasn't needing to rollback to a older SMB version, I was just querying what version OI was using as a default. I didn't know if there was a specific version need or just whatever the Server/Client was able to handshake on...

@AusMarkB @DonBakke, I wrote and posted my reply before I saw your followups! Gives me something to recode over the weekend ;-) You are both Legends!
