NET45 folder does not exist after installing Wf Instance Store

Post by aconst » Thu 27 Jul 2017 14:55

Hi,

I have the following strange problem.
I try to install WF Instance store, I tried both on windows 7 SP1 and windows 2012 R2, after it gets installed the WF45 folder does not exists in path: \Program Files(x86)\Devart\dotConnect\Oracle\Wf services.
The whole WF45 folder is missing.
I have tried dotconnect versions: 8.4.359 and 8.4.225 and 8.4.181 and 8.3.161
I use the dotconnect installation wizard, select Custom installation and pick only the WF Instance store option.
I have .NET framework 4.6.1. Is the installer having problems with this framework version?

Any help will be appreciated :)

Regards,

You are using outdated versions (revision history page). Please try the newest (9.4.314) build. Does it create the folder C:\Program Files (x86)\Devart\dotConnect\Oracle\WF Services\NET45\ ?

If not, specify the value of Version attribute in the following subkey depending on the capacity (x86 or x64) of your Windows:
* 32 bit -> HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\NET Framework Setup\NDP\v4\Full
* 64 bit -> HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\Microsoft\NET Framework Setup\NDP\v4\Full

Hi Shalex,

Thank you very much for the quick reply.

I have downloaded the latest 9.4.314.0 (trial version) and WF45 got created.
We though need to support older versions of dotconnect as well, since our application is release based and our older releases will need to support old devArt releases.

Info you requested:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\Microsoft\NET Framework Setup\NDP\v4\Full = 4.6.01055

NET45 is not created because of incompatibility with .NET framework?
Do you have some sort of dotConnect version with .NET framework compatibility matrix?

Thanks!

The NET45 folder is not created because installation didn't find .NET 4.5 on the workstation (although .NET 4.6 is available). The bug is fixed in v8.4.397 and higher.
