VPE6 CITRIX

[jmac12]

Hi,

I'm using VPE6 with Openedge 10.2b.

We've installed VPE6 on a CITRIX Server. When first installed it works fine but over night it no longer works. When we try and load in the control progress just crashes. I've got no clue why this is happening. If I re-register the file it works file again until it happens again. Now its not that the OCX is getting unregistered because our code uses a older version of VPE if that is the case. So it finds it but crashes when trying to load. What info do I need to look for to fix this issue?

Code: Select all

Assign
   chVPEFrame = VPEFrame:com-handle
   UIB_S = chVPEFrame:LoadControls( OCXFile, "VPEFrame":U).

This sounds really strange and seems to be related to the Citrix server configuration and / or to Openedge from Progress Software.

I suggest you contact technical support of either company to find the root cause.

Maybe we can help to point into the right direction, so one question that comes up is: what means "re-register the file"?
Please decribe as detailed as possible the steps you are performing.

Hi,


I'm using a Inno setup a installer program that copies the files the windows system folder then uses regsvr32 to register the ocx.

So it seems, the entries which are written by regsvr32 to the registry, are not permanently stored on the system.

What do you mean by that?

[IDEAL Software Support]

regsvr32.exe loads the ActiveX and tells it to write some registration data to the registry. When you say it works after executing regsvr32, then you can conclude that the data is written correctly to the registry. When you further describe that it does not work "over night", but it works again after calling regsvr32, then this indicates that the data is not stored permanently in the registry.

if that was the case wouldn't the object just not be able to be invoked? as the system wouldn't know what the VPE6 was?

Indeed it is strange that Openedge crashes. But the VPE ActiveX works flawlessly on many different Windows versions with many different programming languages, no other customer is reporting such a problem. So I don't see a problem with our ActiveX.
