[vna] RE: vna Digest, Vol 11, Issue 2

Tue Nov 14 23:57:51 UTC 2006

I have spent some time researching this problem.

There are many, many people who are trying to build C++
applications for NET 2.0 with the precisely this same problem.
Unfortunately no useful solutions have been posted. 

There are two obscure DLL's that are not found (using a 3rd party tool
called Dependency Walker).  And they are in fact not on my computer
(but it still runs on my development system anyway).  MS has some
deeply buried bug in their compiler or linker here.  I installed the
BETA of Service PACK 1 for the Compiler/Linker, but it did not fix the
problem.  

So the BETA will remain not-useful for awhile until I can track down the
problem.   It might work if you have a VS2005 development system installed
(well, some people reported that it helped, but not for the VNA
application).

I have a similar problem with 2.o.  I have .net 2.o installed.  After
installation I receive the following error when I attempt to execute VNAR3
rev 2.0:

This application has failed to start because the application configuration
is incorrect.  Reinstalling the application may fix the problem.  

This message is in a grey box with a white X in a red circle on the left.  I
have reinstalled 3 times with no success.

Stan,

	the Beta 2.0 requires the installation of the Microsoft .NET 2.0
runtime (all older version of the VNA software Use .NET 1.1).
 MS installer should check whether or not it's installed on your machine.
Can you tell me more about the error you receive when you try to Run the
Beta 2.0 of the VNA software?  Can you capture a screenshot?

	Ok, Tom. I had the .net 2.0 installed, and had no luck with the Beta
2.0. I uninstalled the V2.0 .net and reinstalled the latest version just to
be sure. Still no luck with the Beta.

	I just tried it again so I could get the error message (which I am
attaching), and it acted different this time, in that it went out and
downloaded .net 2.0 and installed it before installing the VNA package. I
still get the error though.

Thanks, Stan.

Wow, that one's going to take awhile to find, as the error message is not
generated by the VNA application, but within (I guess) some Microsoft
software somewhere.  MS's error message is as unhelpful to me as it is to
you!  Sounds like time to, post a query on the MS development boards...
