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.
Dimitar, thank you for getting back to me again.
I finally figured out to change the Owner first, then refresh the registry and then try to change the permissions. I did that on every single key under Infragistics and Infragistics.License. You didn't tell me what the permissions should be so I set it up for full access for System and desktop Administrators. All the Indigo_xxx keys allow me to get into them and see what is there but the other two did not.
It didn't help.
I repaired the installation. Didn't help.
I uninstalled using the original installation program. I then downloaded and ran MalwareBytes. It only flagged the Dell System Detect program. So I uninstalled it, then uninstalled MalwareBytes.
I rebooted and I reran the installation (this time from the local hard drive) and the program is still giving me the same problems. All the keys I set permissions on before, have them gone again. Owner was changed to "Unable to display current owner".
I opened the AppStylist for Windows Forms but it indicated License Error.
I am a domain and local admin when logged in. All other software I install runs fine, including my own.
I don't know what to do other than give up and go back to the MS controls. The only other option I can think of is if you have a small utility that specifically sets up the proper registry keys, I can use it to set them up outside of the installation program to see if that would work. If you have them in a *.reg file, I can manually import them too. If you have any other options before I give up, I would greatly appreciate it.
Hi,
Thank you for the reply.
I have asked our engineering team for assistance on this issue. We are not really sure what is causing this issue as the code for adding the registry keys hasn’t been changed for years and we don’t set any explicit permissions on the keys. It’s just creates them and the permissions that are going to be assigned to it will be what comes naturally when the key is created. Please delete the key and then try to re-install the product from as an administrator and see if the key is still restricted. If it is then probably something on your machine is defaulting the permissions to be this way.
I am looking forward to hearing from you.
Sorry, now that I have reinstalled, I cannot complete the adding of permissions. It fails. I should add, before I reinstalled I re-downloaded the installation program just in case there was something wrong with the original download.
Indigo Studio still works fine.
Thank you for the detailed reply.
We are still researching what may cause this issue and how it would be fixed. I will update you as soon as we have more information for you. Thank you for your patience and understanding.
Meanwhile try, after adding the SYSTEM, Admin and User groups with the appropriate permissions to the Infragisitcs.License key, to add the same roles to the Version1 key and then try to change the owners. Does it work? Can you add controls to the form now?
