Chris, Just playing devil's advocate, did you test to see if it worked BEFORE you did step 4? Best regards, Metro. ----------- Metro T.

Blank Windows XP 2. Install XP SP1 3. Install .Net framework 1.1 4. Install Vault 1.2.3 5. Install Vault 2 preview 6. Go to add remove programs and remove the Vault entry 7. Open IE 6 - You won't be able to use "Find" and "Open in new window" will hang the new window Following the directions to re-register the dlls: regsvr32 actxprxy.dll regsvr32 shdocvw.dll fixed the issue - so vault is doing it it seems. (Eric, the first thing you might want to try is to remove any Merge modules from your MSI project and then re-add them in a different order - that fixed this issue for us the first time it happened, the second time it happened I had to go through and remove 1 MSM file at a time and recompile and test the install to get it working - that is how I narrowed it down to the ChartFX merge modules in our case.)

But I did install that MDAC update yesterday so you may be right (although my PC was the only one in the whole office - 15 computers - that had the problem, even though we installed the patch on all of them) - I will be filing that KB article away for future reference. Thanks, Chris. _____ From: Kenneth Angell [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Friday, 16 January 2004 2:29 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [vault-list] Uninstall vault kills IE I forgot to mention that this will require a reboot after registering the DLLs again. Kenneth Angell wrote: This is not a vault problem just a coincidence. Microsoft issued a patch through windows update yesterday for MDAC and I installed it on two computers. Both computers exhibited the same problems you described. You should also not be able to right-click a link and select Open in New Window. To fix the problem run at the command line: regsvr32 actxprxy.dll regsvr32 shdocvw.dll See also: http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=http://support.microsoft.com: 80/support/kb/articles/q180/1/76.asp <http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=http://support.microsoft.com :80/support/kb/articles/q180/1/76.asp&NoWebContent=1> &NoWebContent=1 Ken Angell Application Architect NET-Architect Chris Ormerod wrote: I uninstalled the trial version of the Vault Client 1.2.3 this morning - in order to have a look at the 2.0 preview. I then uninstalled the 2.0 one and didn't get around to reinstalling the 1.2.3 release again. All day I was recieving the following errors: 1. In IE 6 if I chose "Edit > Find" I would recieve an error about "Interface Not Registered" 2. In IE 6, any windows that were opened by JavaScript would result in an error about object not being defined. This afternoon I tried to resolve this by reinstalling the Windows XP SP1A but that failed to help, I then remembered that I had uninstalled the Vault program this morning so I reinstalled the 1.2.3 client - the problem is now fixed. Either this is an isolated occurence or you might want to have a look at your installation routine. (But don't feel bad, the installer for our application (also an MSI file) would cause this exact error for a few months until we figured out what it was - the ChartFX mergemodules - but I don't think they are in Vault :) ) Just thought I would let you know. But of course nobody ever *uninstalls* vault do they :) My configuration might help: Windows XP SP1A Visual Studio 2003 Visual FoxPro 8 SP1 Crystal Reports 9.2 Visual SourceSafe 6.0d Office 2003 SQL Server Developer Edition 2000 SP3a ActiveSync 3.7 Best regards, Chris Ormerod | Project Manager | AWS | <mailto:[email protected]> mailto:[email protected] Australian Workplace Software Level 1 382 Botany Road (PO Box 6214) Alexandria NSW 2015 Australia Phone: (+61 2) 8394 7999 Fax: (+61 2) 8394 7900 Visit our Web Site at <http://www.aws.com.au/> http://www.aws.com.au/ This email and any files transmitted with it are confidential and intended solely for the use of the individual or entity to whom they are addressed.
