Hi

I am trying to package my cassini app for deployment via a web download.

I built an .msi and associated setup.exe with VS2005 - pre-requisites set to download from vendors site.

Pre-requisites are dot net framework 2.0, windows installer 3.1 and UltiDev Cassini Web Server for ASP.NET 2.0.

Running setup.exe over my LAN operates successfully.

I then used IExpress to package setup.exe and the .msi into a self-extracting .exe with setup.exe to be run on completion and put this on my webserver for downloading.

When downloading, setup recognises the need to install cassini, but fails with the messages shown below in the log.

If instead I make the download just to unpackage the files, i.e. not to run setup.exe, I can then run the resulting extracted setup.exe successfully, installing cassini and my app.

Wonder if you have any ideas on this, or other ideas on how to install succesfully with a web downloader?

Hi there!

The problem is the missing Windows Scripting Host (WSH) component on the target machine. It is installed by default but sometimes gets removed by administrators as a lock down measure. Please download and install the WSH and try the installation again.

Please let us know if this information was helpful.

Best regards,
UltiDev Team.

Thanks for getting back to me.

I tried to install WSH, but it seems I already have a newer version of WSH installed; still same problem.

Looking elswhere
(here)
this seems to suggest that the problem occurs due to a missing GUEST account on the download server.

I tried using the URL shown in the log directly ( http://crm.ultidev.com/R...ownload.aspx?CWSEXPGA04) which gives a response of 'Nice try...'

Is this a security issue of some sort on your server?

Appreciate any help you can give on this.

Hi there!

We are sorry - we have misdiagnosed the issue. It appears the MS bootstrapper has failed to download Cassini runtime prerequisites. Sometimes it does it for no discernible reason. Please visit this link (and scroll down a bit) to download Ultidev runtime components as MSI packages. Once you have installed them, Cassini's Visual Studio integration component will not attempt to install them anymore.

Once again we apologize for the earlier error in establishing problem's cause.

Best regards,
UltiDev Team.

Thanks for this.

My problem was to build a downloadable install for my application with a seamless installation of Cassini (if not already installed).

Using VS2005 setup and deployment and marking the pre-requisites as 'download from vendors site' consistently throws up this issue of failing to download Cassini from UltiDev.

The solution I have reached is to mark the pre-requisites a 'download from the same location as the application', I then placed pre-requisites as provided by VS2005 under the download folder on the server. Downloading and running the setup.exe generated by VS2005 resulted in a successful download and install of Cassini plus my application, so problem solved.

It would be convenient for other reasons (security issues) to 'download from vendors site' so, if possible, could you ticket this for another look at your end.

best regards
