Hi, I am trying to install Cassini web server on XP. It seems to install ok and opens the http://ultidev.com/Produ...ini/CassiniDevGuide.htm page. However, the only options I have in the menu are

- About Cassini Web Server for ASP.NET 2.0
- Restart Cassini for ASP.NET 2.0 Service

The error log has the following message:

The description for Event ID ( 11001 ) in Source ( MsiInstaller ) cannot be found. The local computer may not have the necessary registry information or message DLL files to display messages from a remote computer. You may be able to use the /AUXSOURCE= flag to retrieve this description; see Help and Support for details. The following information is part of the event: Product: UltiDev Cassini Web Server Explorer -- Error 1001. ; (NULL); (NULL); (NULL); (NULL); ; .

I have also downloaded the following files.

- CassiniExplorerSetup.msi
- CassiniServer2Setup.msi

When I try to install CassiniExplorerSetup.msi, it gives me the following error message:

The installer has encountered an unexpected error installing this package. This may indicate a problem with this package. The error code is 2869

There are two new errors in the log:

The description for Event ID ( 11001 ) in Source ( MsiInstaller ) cannot be found. The local computer may not have the necessary registry information or message DLL files to display messages from a remote computer. You may be able to use the /AUXSOURCE= flag to retrieve this description; see Help and Support for details.

Product: UltiDev Cassini Web Server Explorer -- The installer has encountered an unexpected error installing this package. This may indicate a problem with this package. The error code is 2869. The arguments are: ErrorDialog, ,

Running the CassiniServer2Setup.msi, I am asked if I want to Repair or Remove. If I choose repair, I recieve the same message as above:

The installer has encountered an unexpected error installing this package. This may indicate a problem with this package. The error code is 2869

Again, two new errors are added to the event log:

The description for Event ID ( 11001 ) in Source ( MsiInstaller ) cannot be found. The local computer may not have the necessary registry information or message DLL files to display messages from a remote computer. You may be able to use the /AUXSOURCE= flag to retrieve this description; see Help and Support for details.

Product: UltiDev Cassini Web Server for ASP.NET 2.0 -- The installer has encountered an unexpected error installing this package. This may indicate a problem with this package. The error code is 2869. The arguments are: ErrorDialog, ,

Is there something in my configuration that is preventing the install?

Thanks in advance!

Hi!

Since we can't pinpoint the issue with the Cassini Explorer, we can help you with working around its functionality, which is to register applications with Cassini by modifying configuration file. Config file format is quite simple and can be created and edited manually.

To create configuration file manually, please put the snippet below into the "C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\UltiDev\Cassini\CassiniMetabase.xml" file, replacing values with those that make sense for your application, like application's physical location, port, name and default document. If some folder's beyond "C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data" don't exist, please create them first.


Once this is in place, your application would be accessible on the http://machinename:12568/, given that Cassini Server installed OK and is running.

Please let us know if this information was helpful.

Best regards,
