• Is windows xp install still working?

    By Timothy B Nichols 1 decade ago

    Anyone have windows xp? I will try to get this tested on my laptop running windows xp, but currently I am not sure if windows xp install is 100% yet. 

     

    So far, i tested it on multiple windows 7 environments - no problems there.

    • not running on XP

      By Thomas Bernoecker 1 decade ago

      The OS is XP SP2 with Notes 8.5.2 standard (german) and it seems the tool does not run properly. I am using an administrator account

      My 1st try: The Installer wants to have .NET 3.5 - so I installed .NET 3.5. Finally the NSFAnalyzer was installed but not want to start - it want to have .NET 4.0

      My 2nd try: I installed .NET 4 and rebooted. Now NSFAnalyzer starts but reports errors. Either "_except_handler4_common not found in msvcrt.dll" (if notes program dir is in %PATH%) or "nNOTES.DLL not found" (if notes program dir is NOT in %PATH%)

      regards, Roland

      • Thanks Thomas!

        I have finally managed to locate a Windows XP laptop.

        I will fix the installer issues tonight & re-release the installer probably over the weekend. The laptop will need Lotus notes installed on it, etc. So I have a little work to do on it.

        Sounds like some old settings in there; I will change the target platform to 4.0.

        Appreciate your feedback.

      • I just added the v1.4 installer

        By Timothy B Nichols 1 decade ago

        Try this please. It looks like this installer will be more WIndows XP friendly, but I will not get a chance to test it until tonight.

         

        I verified the new installer on a couple of different Windows 7 machines just now. 

         

        I did modify the source by one line. I replaced a strncpy() function with strncpy_s(). Tested it against an older R5 version of Lnotes client and server and it worked fine.... But if you see a problem, let me know.

         

        Thanks

        • Yes - the NSFanalyzer starts now without error

          By Thomas Bernoecker 1 decade ago

          Thanks Timothy,

          If Notes Program directory is in the %PATH% then the NSFAnalyzer starts (otherwise nNOTES.DLL not found).

          • ok

            By Timothy B Nichols 1 decade ago

            The application does try to find the note path... not always successfully.

            The problem I have is I have yet to find a machine that gives me the same issue. So I cannot reproduce.

            If you load the source and put a break point on the registry scan/ path modify piece, i'd be interested to know what you are seeing.

            Otherwise the workaround of adding path seems somewhat reasonable.

             

            Thanks
