[Dxbase] Fw: [dxbase] New Installer for DXBase v1.10

Thu May 24 09:05:19 EDT 2012

Hi Gary

Can I connect and see what the winHlp Microsoft module is reporting? You can
get a message (that I have seen) when you have already applied the patch,
when you are running it on the wrong version of windows or if you downloaded
the wrong version for the bit architecture.

I am not sure what you mean by all applications. For the exe files in the
DXBase folder, do the compatibility process.

Neal and Tony,

Just did a search in my Windows system folder and found 3 instances of
winhlp32.exe on my machine!  The oldest one is dated 11/02/2006 so that was
probably the original winhlp32.exe file installed.  The other two are both
dated 01/11/2008.  One is in Windows (C:), the other looks like it is in the
registry as it is a very long address.  Apparently I must have downloaded
the winhlp32.exe file from MS back in 2008, but never did anything with it
after that.  This must be the cause of the "The update does not apply to
your system" messages.  It would have helped had MS just said "You already
have it installed dummy!".

I followed the instructions in the installation.pdf about how to unblock.hlp
files and ran the Mr. FixIt utility.  That seemed to run ok, but neither the
DXB2006 or DXB2007 Help files run correctly at the moment.  It may be I have
to reboot or it may be tied to the file permission stuff coming up next in
the installation.pdf about flagging all the files to Run As Administrator.
Hopefully that will cure the problem.

Neal - in the installation.pdf it says to "Repeat the Privilege process for
all the programs".  Does this apply to just the exe programs, or ALL the
programs? It's late, I'm tired and burned out at the moment.  Will try to
continue through the rest of the install tomorrow.

Tony,

Thanks for the link, but unfortunately neither Windows6.0-KB917607-x86.msu
nor Windows6.1-KB917607-x86.msu will work.  Both installers open the Windows
Update Standalone Installer window that says "Search for updates...",
followed by "Search has completed." and a new window that says "The update
does not apply to your system".   I think the 6.0 version is for Vista SP1
and the 6.1 version is for Vista SP2.  I have SP2 and do not understand what
is causing it to crash.  Guess I'll try sending MS tech support an email and
see if they have any suggestions.  Doesn't seem like getting the Help file
to  work again should be rocket science!

  Gary,
  the install file that you need is here:
  http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=5143
  and the one you need for Vista 32 bit is named
  Windows6.0-KB917607-x86.msu

  Neal,

  I think I found the correct location for downloading the patch for Vista,
Windows6.1-KB917607-x86msu.  However, when I run this one I get the same
error message that I got when running the Win7 version.  "Windows Update
Standalone Installer  The update doe not apply to your system".  I'm running
Vista Home Premium 32 bit SP2.  Now what?

    Neal,

    I'm in the process of installing DXB2007 this afternoon and have run
into a glitch in the Installation instructions.  It appears DXB2007 has
installed ok and now I'm trying to download the MS patch to fix the Help
files.  I've downloaded the Windows6.1-Kb17607-x64.msu patch, but it won't
install on my Vista machine as it is apparently for Win7 only.  Where do I
get the patch for a Vista 32 bit system?

      Hi All

      I have updated the DXBase2007 v1.10 installer on the server to fix the
problems reported with running import.exe.

      The installer's zip file also includes the Install pdf file. I updated
it for Windows XP users so they can avoid doing the needless stuff required
by Vista/Win7.

      The download link is the same:
http://www.abrohamnealsoftware.com/DXB2007.zip

      If you already have installed v1.10, you can just download the extra
libraries needed for Import.exe to work properly. These three files are
athttp://www.abrohamnealsoftware.com/MissingV110DLLs.zip

      All you have to do is unzip the file and copy the enclosed 3 files to
the new DXBase 1.10 directory. Nothing more than that.
