Subject: [Mono-list] New Beta1 Win32 installer


Hola!

I just uploaded a new Win32 installer that fixes lots of problem
encountered in the previous ones:
  * Updated runtime to fix GAC path issues.
  * Generate working .bat for cmd.exe and shell scripts for cygwin.
  * Includes MSVCR70.dll.
  * CVS monop to fix assembly loading errors.

You can download it directly from:

http://www.go-mono.com/archive/beta1/windows/mono-Beta1-win32-2.exe

or through the mono download page at:

http://www.go-mono.com/download.html

It does not include 2.0 preview compiler and assemblies, but I plan on
doing more Win32 installer releases based on CVS including them.

Special thanks go to Urs Muff for helping me while testing.

Enjoy!

-Gonzalo

Hi

I tried the latest installer, from 
http://primates.ximian.com/~gonzalo/tmp/mono-0.91-win32-5.exe

But still get:

C:\mbas

** (C:\Program Files\Mono-0.91\lib\mbas.exe:680): WARNING **: Could not find
ass
embly Mono.GetOptions, references from C:\Program
Files\Mono-0.91\lib\mbas.exe (

 Build:   5000,0
 Token:   0738eb9f132ed756


Unhandled Exception: System.NullReferenceException: Object reference not set
to
an instance of an object

This is a completely clean Windows 2000 Professional installation (on
VMware) with SP4. The Mono installer is run without changing directories for
the installation path. Many other utilities, e.g. mbas gives the error
shown. I do not have Cygwin installed, and run the NT command file from a
command prompt.

The commands that fail are:

Cert2spc- unhandled exception
Cert2spec   - exe file is missing
Certmgr - unhandled exception
Disco   - unhandled exception
Ilasm   - unhandled exception
Makecert- unhandled exception
Mbas- unhandled exception

Monop   - unhandled exception
Signcode- unhandled exception
Sn  - unhandled exception
Soapsuds- unhandled exception
Sqlsharp- unhandled exception
Wsdl- unhandled exception
Xsd - unhandled exception

What am I missing here? I am new to Mono, having used 0.31 before the beta,
which installed and worked flawlessly.

Hi Gonzalo

Thanks for the update. Appreciate the effort you are making, I just wanted
to be sure I hadn't missed something obvious when installing.

Will test the latest build.

This is being tracked in:
http://bugzilla.ximian.com/show_bug.cgi?id=58260

Someone reported that at least mcs, ilasm and mono work from cmd.exe.
The last attempt at a working installer is
http://primates.ximian.com/~gonzalo/tmp/mono-0.91-win32-6.exe


[...]

 What am I missing here? I am new to Mono, having used 0.31 before the

Well, no one provided a win32 installer that works and I decided to use
the .nsi file in mono CVS to build the packages.Turned out that the
existing file generated installers were pretty broken and I'm trying to
build a good one and then reuse it for next releases. Hope to get it
soon with the feedback people is sending.

[Mono-list] Mono Beta 1 on Windows

2004-05-07 Thread Dave Parsons
Hi

Mono newbie here! I have successfully installed mono 0.31 on Windows 2000 
XP using the setup program. Everything compiled fine. Just tried beta 1 on
clean Windows 2000/XP sessions and cannot run any assemblies.

All return cannot open assembly message, and mcs returns:

** (C:\Mono\lib\mono\1.0\mcs.exe:112): WARNING **: Could not find assembly
System, references from C:\Mono\lib\mono\1.0\mcs.exe (assemblyref_index=1)
 Major/Minor: 1,0
 Build:   5000,0
 Token:   b77a5c561934e089


Unhandled Exception: System.NullReferenceException: Object reference not set
to
an instance of an object

Am I doing something wrong or is there a genuine problem?

Another quick point, I am looking to embed Mono into our applications.
Currently we use VBscript to extend the products, but I am looking for
greater speed and we are about to go cross-platform onto Linux/Unix. Which
list is bets to ask questions about the embedding API on?

Thanks

Dave

RE: [Mono-list] Mono Beta 1 on Windows

Hi Joel

Well that fixed the mcs problem, but still can't run any assemblies, apart
from simple HelloWorld using System. Also mbas doesn't seem to have been
included which was what I wanted to investigate.

Do I need Cygwin or .Net installed now? Version 0.31 was very good out of
the box. This seems like a backwards step for Windows.

Thanks

Dave

I posted shortly before you. A temporary solution is to copy all the 
dll's in the GAC subdirectories into the lib directory. For me, the 
dll's were found under C:\Program Files\Mono\lib\mono\gac and I put them 
in C:\Program Files\Mono\lib. I used explorer's search to find them, the 
copy-pasted into the lib.
