Hi,
I've still the problem to use FB Provider in VS 2005 (not Express).
So my steps:
1. downloaded & installed VsSDKOctober2005.exe (88 788 736 bytes)
- it's Visual Studio SDK (I'm 99% sure ;))
- no warnings
2. added files to GAC (verified via the GUI interface), there's in GAC:
- FirebirdSql.Data.Firebird (1.7.0.1, fa843d180294369d)
- FirebirdSql.Data.FirebirdClient (2.0.0.0, 3750abcc3150b00c)
- FirebirdSql.Web.Providers (2.0.0.0, 3d06a02581b682f8)
3. created entries in machine.config according to ReadmeDDEX.TXT
- changed public key token to current
- exactly machine.config in
C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727\CONFIG\
- I have also v2.0.50215, but there's no machine.config, of course :)
4. replaced %Path% in .reg file into 'C:\Program Files\FirebirdClient'
- using Find&Replace
5. started VS > Database Explorer > oops, classic warning with package
loading failure (and classic event in EventLog)
Well.
6.
- checked HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\VisualStudio\, and
there IS '8.0Exp' (and it seems to be there the same entries for
DataProvider like in '8.0', is it right?)
- checked more than once machine.config and registry
What can I do?
PS: If I remove registry entries, the warning is gone. So I think
there's problem with registry entries (but I don't have any idea). The
*.reg file is attached for checking (rename to *.reg).
Thanks all!
