Greetings,
Was wondering of I could get some feedback on the following:

I had 3 entries under the Cassini Explorer and added a 4th.
Only thing to note is that the physical path was long.
Below is the CassiniMetabase file.
After that, the service kept crashing. Nothing in the Event Log.
(timeout hitting http://localhost:7756/)
After re-boots, tryed to do a Install/Repair, then a Uninstall.
The Uninstall kept failing and the entry under Services is still there.
I get the following message:
"An exception occured while uninstalling. This exception will be
ignored and the unstall will continue. However, the application
might not be fully uninstalled...
-> The savedState dictionary contains inconsistent data and might have
been corrupted"

Thank you again for your help,
Gary

Hello, Gary. First of all, thank you for keeping playing with Cassini!

It seems we are looking into two problems right now: broken installation and failing service. We were unable to make service fail by registering long physical path, but we saw broken installations during development phase, so let's start with fixing borken installation. Assuming currupted savedState dictionary belongs to the service, we'll try to put it back in a state uninstaller can deal with. To do that,

- Just in case, even though it should not be related, please remove the last entry from the Cassini metabase file. Just open the file in Notepad and remove last entry;

- Go to your Cassini 2.0 service directory, which is usually "C:\Program Files\UltiDev\Cassini ASP.NET 2.0 Server", and delete .installLog and .installState files.

- Run VisualStudio Command Prompt from Start | All Programs | Microsoft Visual Studio 2005| Visual Studio Tools | Visual Studio 2005 Command Prompt.

- Change current folder to point at Cassini 2.0 service directory by running this command:
C:\>cd "C:\Program Files\UltiDev\Cassini ASP.NET 2.0 Server"

- Uninstall Cassini 2.0 service by running this command:
C:\>InstallUtil.exe /u CassiniServer2.exe
If you check Services in Control Panel, Cassini 2.0 service should be gone now.

- Install Cassini 2.0 service by running this command:
C:\>InstallUtil.exe CassiniServer2.exe
Check Services to see if Cassini is running.

- Uninstall and re-install the entire Cassini product now from Add/Remove Software. If service isntallation was the culprit, uninstallation should work now. If not, let us know and we'll help you get through whatever problems remain.

Thank you! I followed your instructions and that worked. I had to delete all dirs used by ultidev that were
left over after the uninstall too.
I'm back in business. Thanks again,
Gary
