I'm using VB 2010 - Winforms and just did an installation of the Trial version of Infragistics controls. I want to test if the controls will help speed up my development.
I had problems with installation of the Indigo Studio because my Silverlight was not up-to-date. After the installation completed, I attempted to add a control to a copy of one of my Windows Forms projects (after I changed the target framework to version 4), and received the error Failed to create component.
I found some references to older (2009) articles about setting the Specific Version option to False on all Infragistics References and to clean out the licenses.licx file. I was able to set the references to false but could not find a licenses.licx file associated with my project. Still errors.
So I reset my Windows 7 Pro SP1 machine to a restore point from before the installation. I upgraded my Explorer and Silverlight before installing again. Reinstalled and had the same problem.
I created a new project with one form and made sure it was referencing .Net 4 (not client), added a control and again received an error. Of the dozen or so controls I have tried, only the UltraProgressBar and UltraScrollBar will insert on the form. I can see the References being added in the Solution Explorer but the error still shows up.
One example of the message is below.
If anyone has any ideas what I can try to test the controls, I would appreciate it. TIA, rasinc.
Hi,
I am really glad that you have resolved your issue. Do not hesitate to contact us if you have any additional questions.
Thank you for using Infragistics.
Well, I think I am able to work now. I only have 19 days of the trial left but I'll have to try to work in the time to concentrate on it. Last week was my easy week this month.
I am able to add controls to a project now on my main machine, the AppStylist for Windows Forms opens and I can get into and work with Indigo Studio. The trick was all the proper permissions had to be added manually to everything in CLASSES_ROOT, one key at a time. Not having Users was probably the issue when I set them up yesterday.
Thank you for the help.
Thank you for the reply.
I am glad to hear that you were able to successfully install it on your notebook. It is possible that the account is causing the issue. Let me know what are the results from installing from your desktop admin user or if changing the permissions the way I suggested helps you resolve this issue.
I am looking forward to hearing from you.
Thank you. I will try adding USERS and CREATOR OWNER. I had not added them before.
I think I am going to get my IT person involved in this over the next couple of days. It seems this issue is so weird, it is likely there is an issue on my system as you mentioned. I will try what you suggest above and possibly try the install using a desktop admin user id instead of my domain user in case there is an issue with the user account.
I did decide to try installing on my notebook (Win8.1 Pro, 64 bit). I was apprehensive about doing that after the problems on this machine. However, while I didn't have a lot of time to test, I could open and run the startup app and add your controls to a test project. I did install using my domain userid on the notebook as well, so I am not sure it is a user account problem as I mentioned above but I will try to eliminate it anyway.
I will get back to you when I have a chance to get to the office and do all this.
On my machine for the permissions I have four groups – Administrators, Users, SYSTEM and CREATOR OWNER (see attached screenshot). This is the same for all Infragistics registry keys I have. Administrators and SYSTEM have full access, Users have read permissions and CREATOR OWNER has special permissions. The owner for these keys is the Administrators group. Please try to set the permissions like that and try to run the Appstylist or the Samples Browser explicitly as an administrator. If you didn’t run Appstylist as an administrator the last time you test it maybe it failed, because you didn’t add permissions for the Users group. Hopefully this time it will be able to run without any issues.
Let me know if this fixes your issue. I am looking forward to hearing from you.
