If my registry keys are not there or not the same, how do I check the .DLL file for the info?

you dont check the DLL file for anything

 

you check the registry, like i did above

search the registry for flexdmd.dll, see if you hit the same exact keys i listed

it's a CLSID so it is most likely the same, but since i did not write flexDMD i can not swear to that entirely

I just compared to 2 laptops
desktop and 2 laptops have same CLSID's

so bat file should be good for anyone to run

 

I tried the bat file and it did nothing. I searched the registry and the only thing in there that is Flex related is FlexDMDUI at:

Computer\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Classes\Local Settings\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Shell\MuiCache

 

I never was able to register Flex and it has always been in the proper folder so it's not that I moved it. It just will not register on my computer. I don't know what can be causing it because I have plenty of other software registered. No anti virus, no files blocked

 

Does the FlexDMDUI open at all for you?

If it does, what happens when you try and register?

can you post a screen shot?

FlexUI opens fine. It's just when I press the register button it thinks for a second and nothing happens

[wiesshund]

not that you normally need to, but have you tried running it as admin?

 

any errors in windows event log?

Edited by wiesshund, 21 February 2021 - 07:59 PM.

[QuickSave80]

I have tried admin but nothing changes. Where do I see the event log?

[wiesshund]

I have tried admin but nothing changes. Where do I see the event log?

run windows event viewer, its part of windows so the search box will find it for you

The process was terminated due to an unhandled exception. Exception Info: System.IO.FileNotFoundException

 

Well it is crashing because it is not finding something

I dont know if it is because you ran it from a different location once?, or if it is a net framework issue of not being up to date or something?

Your gonna need vbousquet to take a look at that

 

I see he pushed a registration fix in his github, but do not see a compiled release yet

so i do not know if it is ready for testing yet even if you compiled it yourself.

Thanks for all your help. I will see what vbousquet and look into that reg fix. I wouldn't really know how to compile it anyways

[wiesshund]

I know how, i just do not have visual studio installed.

I uninstalled most of my development tools a while ago when i stopped working for a game dev.
I suppose i could reinstall it and look for you

 

will take a little while, seems i need to download about 5gb of .NET

Have you tried moving the flexdmd.exe to the "wrong" location again and re-run it in order to unregister ?

[QuickSave80]

Dude that would be amazing! Thank you

Have you tried moving the flexdmd.exe to the "wrong" location again and re-run it in order to unregister ?

I did try that. The unregister doesn't seem to do anything as well. There is no registry entries for Flex. Something is just blocking it from registering.

Question

When you run it from the wrong location

Does it show that it is, or is not registered?

 

 

taking a while to install

Ok i built this off of his source code, after i fixed some error in the majorrevisions check in fody.targets, dunno what was up with that, probably just didnt like my
install or setup of vs 2019

 

but again, he has not released a build, so i do not know if it is ready for primetime

It is not Vbousquet's fault if it does not work well, nor would i even remotely as in not a chance in hell, know his project well enough to even attempt to do anything to it but build it from his source.

[wiesshund]

Ok, i fear my build may have blown up his PC and eaten his internet

[QuickSave80]

It is the same as it is when it is in the proper folder. It says it is not registered

Sorry about that I thought my reply went through. I tried the new build and there is no change.

Darn, well maybe @Vbousquet will know what the event log is trying to tell us
probably wind up being something stupidly simple.

[QuickSave80]

I hope so! I would like to have installed as some tables require it.

I have just made a new release labelled 1.7.0. You can get it on GitHub as usual.

 

The changelog is :

* Fix when FlexDMD is moved after registering

* Fix when unblocking dll fails (just ignore the error)

* Add preliminary support for alphanumerics outputs

 

@Quicksave80: please try this version (your screenshot shows that you were using an already outdated version 1.5.0). I hope this will solve your problems.

 

Regards,
