HalVisionX Beta

[snowman]

Just in case you don't know this.

use double backslashes or single forward slashes in the post creator if you want your directory location to look like this:


c:\Program Files\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v6.0A\Bootstrapper\Packages\

OR

c:/Program Files/Microsoft SDKs/Windows/v6.0A/Bootstrapper/Packages/

[Data]

A little confused, I don’t have a folder called Microsoft SDKs in c:program files, I did a search for the folder using the windows search, that draw a blank.

I recently rebuilt my PC, im pretty sure I installed .NET3.5SP1 before I installed Hal, it is showing in my remove programs list.

thanx for the protip snowman

ok datahopa...you need to uninstall hal completely and backup all yers files...then run the full .net3.5sp1 update.  that should do it. i had this same problem and it just wouldnt put the files where they needed til i uninstall hal completely.  it will still show in add//remove programs but it won't really be completely installed.  here is a link to the .net3.5sp1 full package.  completely uninstall hal and install this then reinstall hal.  then look for that folder again and let me know...

This is where you can download .NET Framework Version 3.5 SP1. It is a 231Mb Download.

Ya know rlederer if a small script could be compiled to see if the SP1 file is in the correct location or even exists... it could be given as a diagnostic tool for those who cannot get there HalVision running (or even open)

[Data]

right, thanks rlederer, I will give it a go and report back.

[snowman]

It wouldn't take long to create such a script. Tell me, are you saying the filefolder "DotNetFX35SP1" would not even show up in the C:\Program Files\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v6.0A\Bootstrapper\Packages\ directory while Hal is installed. But Instead be installed in another directory all together (in some cases). Or are you saying  that it will not install at all in any directory (in all cases).

[snowman]

I went ahead and made a script that searches for the "DotNetFX35SP1" folder in the C:Program FilesMicrosoft SDKsWindowsv6.0ABootstrapperPackages ..directory. And compiled it.

If the file is found or not found a message box appears with pertinent instructions.


Tell me if this will be any use to you and what you doing.[]

Can change it to your desired specs.

Hmm, well I uninstalled Hal then NET Framework 3.5 SP1, did a restart just in case, installed the dotnetfx35.exe, I haven’t installed Hal yet but I still don’t have the c:\Program Files\Microsoft SDKs folder.

All my framework files are located in

C:windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework

I did a little hunt around on google and it looks like the files should be in C:windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework

for windows XP

SDK stands for (Software Development Kit)  could it be that I don’t have the SDK installed but only the framework?

Not sure but I think Vista has the SDK installed as standard.

This might all be wrong,  or it might be on the right track.

Here is the download location for "Windows SDK for Windows Server 2008 and .NET Framework 3.5".

I think you might be correct in your assumptions.

If you are willing, then download this and reinstall the .NET Framwork and see what happens... this is a trial and error process and there are always some risks.... but if we can get this thing figured out, allot of people here will be very grateful.

Thank you for helping []

I made a mistake Datahopa,


The above posts link was changed because I sent you to the wrong location. Plus this looks like a 1.3 Gig download.... and a .iso at that.. I will look around if there is something better.

[Data]

I started the download anyway but it keeps failing on me, something to do with network trafic.

Will wait for a better link snowman.

[snowman]

Both files are 1.3 Gigs in size.

This link will download the "Windows SDK for Windows Server 2008 and .NET Framework 3.5" package via a web installer. It will give you the options of what you want to install.

This link will download the "Windows SDK for Windows Server 2008 and .NET Framework 3.5" .iso file. It will give you the options of saving it to a DVD and keeping it for future possible re-installs.

Im gona have to try this another time, I can’t download them, always stop after a little while with the network trafic error.

Thinking about it, we shoudnt need the SDK to run HalVision, im no programmer but if this does fix it there might be something missing from the HalVision XP download.

Food for thought.

[snowman]

Here is a smaller download just to see it will work. It links to the Visual Studio 2008 Express Edition.

It may have all that is required in this package.

I think its only a 74 meg download. Not sure.
