.net 2.0 error when running client.

[pholzer]

Running windows server 2003. When I run the fortress client exe, I get the following in my event viewer. I have gone through the reinstall process, but it doesn't correct the issue. I am running .net v2.0, 3.0 and 3.5. The event viewer source is id'ed as "NET Runtime 2.0 Error".

the error description:

EventType clr20r3, P1 vaultguiclient.exe, P2 1.1.1.18060, P3 47ea1adb, P4 system.configuration, P5 2.0.0.0, P6 471ebf00, P7 1a6, P8 136, P9 ioibmurhynrxkw0zxkyrvfn0boyyufow, P10 NIL.

Any help would be appreciated.

Regards,

Outside of the error appearing in your Event Viewer, is anything else affected? Is Fortress working fine?

[pholzer]

No. The client exe throws an error and says it must shut down. The client gui never loads.

[Beth]

Thanks for the additional information.

Could I have you run the following commands and then try again?

Code: Select all

C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\framework\v2.0.50727\aspnet_regiis -u

then

Code: Select all

C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\framework\v2.0.50727\aspnet_regiis -i

That did not work. The client exe still errors before the fortress gui comes up and the event viewer displays

"EventType clr20r3, P1 vaultguiclient.exe, P2 1.1.1.18060, P3 47ea1adb, P4 system.configuration, P5 2.0.0.0, P6 471ebf00, P7 1a6, P8 136, P9 ioibmurhynrxkw0zxkyrvfn0boyyufow, P10 NIL."

Try the following:
1. Go to the vaultguiclient.exe.config file in the Vault directory on your client.
2. Look at the top between <configuration> and <system.net>.

• Add in the lines I show in between those below, but substitute the x's with the numbers for the .NET framework your server uses. For example, 2.0.50727.
  
  <configuration>
  
  <startup>
  <requiredRuntime version="vx.x.xxxxx" safemode="true"/>
  </startup>
  
  <system.net>

3. Restart your system afterwards and then try using Vault.

If that doesn't do it, then I'd like to have you perform a repair install of your 2.0 .NET framework. Sometimes a repair install accomplishes what re-registering can't.

I tried to reinstall .net 2.0..even VS 2005..with no luck.

[Beth]

I think I wrote the file down wrong where you should add the lines I mentioned above. Instead place those lines in the VaultGUIclient.exe.config. Then give it a try.

[pholzer]

VaultGUIclient.exe.config versus vaultguiclient.exe.config? I am sorry, but I don't understand your correction.

[Beth]

Sorry about that, I misread my own post.

Could I have you try a repair install of your 2.0 .NET framework?

[pholzer]

I did try to run a repair install for 2.0 with no luck. My work-around for this problem was to map a drive from my development box to an old box that is running fortress with no problem. I check the file out on my old box and make changes on my dev box. A pain, but I needed a fix.

[Beth]

Sure, I can understand needing a work-around so you can continue working. We can continue the troubleshoot when it is convenient for you. We might want to consider taking this off-line for more focused attention if that will work into your schedule. Just let me know if you'd prefer that.

In the meantime, are you on Fortress 1.1.1 or 1.1.2 or some other version of Fortress?
