Unable to register my Add-In Express developed plugin on test computer

Hello,

I have been testing Add-In Express, and have written a test application. It seems to run fine on my computer. (Windows 7, 64 bit Ultimate). I take the dll to another Windows 7 64 bit computer. I open up a CMD prompt (as Administrator) and

runsvr32 myproj.dll

and I get an error message back. "The module myproj.dll was loaded but the call to DllRegisterServer failed with error code 0x80004005. For more information, search online."

Well, in searching online, everything I find says to run CMD prompt as Administrator. I am doing this... The CMD window says 'Administrator' in the Title bar.

I have also done a registry scan (SFC /scannow) to ensure I have no registry issues.

I have disabled UAC, I have ran an updated virus scan. I have tried regsvr32 after booting in SAFEMODE. I am out of ideas... Anything else anyone can think of?

Thanks
George Spears

Hi George,

Is the "Build with runtime packages" option checked in the Project -> Options -> Packages dialog box? Also, you can send us your dll, I will test it with Windows 7 x64 and let you know about the results.

Hi Dmitry Kostochko,

A couple of additional points. I did NOT have the BUILD with Runtime packages installed. I am able to take my DLL to a Windows XP computer and get it to run...

Also, when I enable Compile with Runtime support, My compile environment changes...
I got from compiled 355,000 lines of code, with a DLL size of 8301K, to compiling 38,322 lines of code, and a DLL size of 530K. Is that normal?

Thanks

Hi George,

I received your dll, tried to register it on my PC and got the E_FAIL error.

I would recommend you making sure that you don't have any code in the OnCreate event handler, and that your DB components that exist in your add-in module do not try to connect to your database right after they being created.

Yes, it is normal. Usually the "Build with runtime packages" option should be off.

Dmitry,

My issue appears to be that in my develop environment, I had the Database Component.Active set to true, so it was trying to connect... When I turned that off, everything appears to work fine, so far...

Thanks,
George Spears
