In-House HTML Setup sheet program

[Guest SAIPEM]

I'm trying to demo the In-House HTML Setup sheet program.

 

I run the install and follow all the instructions.

When I go generate a setup sheet,

I get the message "Installation Problem - Program will exit".

The title of the message box is "MP".

 

Any insights from In-House?

If you are running MR1, the HTML setup might need to be updated to work with the new release.

[Keith @ Solid Code Solutions]

The HTML_X Set-up sheet should still work in MR1. review your config and the control def. and that the html files are in the corresponding locations and you shold be good to go.

[Guest SAIPEM]

Everything is where it is supposed to be.

 

I'd love to try this add-in but the setup is pretty weak.

 

It should work if you follow the directions.

That's the whole point of a setup program.

 

I have noticed when I opened the html SET file that the version number in postline #1999 is 9 instead 10. It also says not to modify it manually.

SAIPEM,

 

Per the instructions did you

 

quote:

---

1. Run the .exe file to install to your root Mastercam directory

(e.g. C:Mcamx).

---

If you don't it may place the files but id does not install properly.

[Guest SAIPEM]

Yep - That's where it went.

 

The setup says it found it in that folder.

 

I do have V9 on the same machine so I'm curious if something in the Registry could be causing the problem.

[Keith @ Solid Code Solutions]

SAIPEM,

 

All I have ever had is a Zip file that gets extracted into the root of where "mcamx" is located. Then set your control def to use the HTML setup sheet. This is what has been my experience if yours differs you may want to give Dave or Chris a call at In-House Solutions.

Saipem,

 

Are you running X MR1/SP2 or a previous version of X?

[Guest SAIPEM]

Bullines-

 

It's X MR1/SP2

[Bullines]

When did you download the latest version of the setup sheet? There was a bug in the installer and a fixed one was uploaded last week.

[Guest SAIPEM]

I downloaded it last Thursday.

[Bullines]

It was uploaded on the 13th. Try that one.

[Guest SAIPEM]

uh.. I did.

 

I downloaded it last thursday, Feb 16.

[Bullines]

Odd. I can't reproduce with the problem with the latest version of it. The default installation directory is your Mastercam X folder, which it retrieves from a string value called "Directory" here:

 

HKLMSOFTWARECNC Software, Inc.Mastercam X MR1-SP2

 

Previously, it was stored in:

 

HKLMSOFTWARECNC Software, Inc.Mastercam X

 

Of course, if you have two Mastercam installations and one of them is in a different location (Ex: C:MastercamX), you can select that one.

[Allan Brown]

You need admin privileges for the install to work properly.

 

If you can't get it to go, email your SIM# to me, and we'll do a timed trial rather than the 30 use countdown trial.

[Guest SAIPEM]

I have Admin rights.

 

The problem is clearly a poorly designed demo distribution.

 

I get the message "Installation Problem - Program will exit".

The title of the message box is "MP".

 

How about checking the conditions that cause this error?

 

Quite honestly, I'm not that interested in testing the product any longer.

The fact that a professional setup for a useable demo is not available speaks volumes.

 

I'll stick with the X+ setup .

It worked perfectly from the beginning.

[Allan Brown]

Indeed, it was an error on our part, which will be fixed today. Sorry we couldn't serve you better.

[Bullines]

Fixed.

I'm sorry but in all my dealings with Dave and everyone from In-House they are an excellent organization.

 

If someone chooses not to pursue a product that is obviously their choice. A simple thanks but I'm no longer interested is quite sufficient. I just think the obvious slap in the face was quite unnecessary.

 

Kudos to Dave and all the people at In_House for all they do.

My Apologies.

 

I'm just frustrated at not being able to test it.

 

The help IS appreciated along with this forum itself.

[Storkman]

Frustration gets to all of us. As John stated Dave's stuff has worked great whenever I used it. If I run across a problem he is always more than willing to help sort it out. I love the html setup sheet. I know guys like jmparis also use it. When the frustration passes give it another shot. You won't be disappointed.

[Allan Brown]

You know what... Still not fixed. Check back tomorrow...

 

Where's the :shame: Graemlin?
