PMView 3.05 registration problem - continued - Full version claims it's not. Options

[Guest_Teijo Kaakinen_*]

Sorry for continuing in another topic - I couldn't post a reply, couldn't find my password, and didn't receive an e-mail notification despite going through the process.... so here goes a long post:

I tried to reinstall using a new download as you suggested, recording the steps.

Redownload file from:

/RIP.FileDownload?PRODUCTID=[WHATEVER]&PASSWORD=[WHATEVER]]https://secure.bmtmicro.com/[whatev....ATEVER]

Saved file name: f:commdlpmview305os2full.exe
File size: 5486652 (A comparison shows the size is exactly the same as the previous one, which I also kept.)

f:
cd commdl
pmview305os2full.exe

>next
>I agree
>Next (PMView Pro in e:appspmview, DLL in e:dll - yes, it's in libpath)
>Install
>Yes
>Skip this file (pmvddrop.dll to be relplaced is the same date and size)
>Ok
>No (The class pmvddrop is already registered with the same dll)

A whole bunch of OS/2 windows momentarily appear and disappear, too quickly for the eye to follow, after which I get the message "Installation has completed..."

>Ok

Doubleclick on PMView Pro folder on the desktop.
Doubleclick on PMView Pro icon in the folder

The program tells me:
"You are on day 14 of your 31 day evaluation period."

>Ok
>Close

The program tells me:
"You are on day 14 of your 31 day evaluation period."

Well, at least we have some improvement - I no longer need to count every peek at help as another day!

Close program.

Ignore filters, documentation, icons and scripts, and look for duplicate exe and dll files on the path.

xdir /s /e d:PMV30HTK.DLL
xdir /s /e d:PMView.exe
xdir /s /e d:pmvddrop.dll
xdir /s /e e:PMV30HTK.DLL >found e:APPSPMViewPMV30HTK.DLL
xdir /s /e e:PMView.exe >found e:APPSPMViewPMView.exe
xdir /s /e e:pmvddrop.dll >found e:DllPMVDDrop.DLL

No duplicates.

Now, let's try again.

Start by deleting the product:

Open WarpIn
Highlight PMView Pro
MB2 click
>Deinstall all packages
>OK
>Yes, WarpIn should unlock and delete pmvddrop.dll

A bunch of errors. Save log file.

Deleted object ""

(The strange characters are Japanese and say the file wasn't found.)

A red X remains in the WarpIn database.

Now try again with the saved "pmview305os2full.exe"

f:
cd commdl
pmview305os2full.exe

>next
>I agree

Ah, this time the default program path for PMView Pro is "M". It's grayed out, too, and unchangable. No matter, we'll see what happens. Place DLL in e:dll .

>Next

-You have specified the following directories which are not valid:
-M
-Please correct these errors first.

>OK

I guess that won't work.

>Cancel
>Yes, I do want to exit WarpIn

Open WarpIn database.
Remove database entry for PMView Pro
>Yes

Close WarpIn

f:
cd commdl
pmview305os2full.exe

>Next
>I agree
>Next (PMView Pro in e:appspmview, DLL in e:dll)
>Install
>Yes
>Yes (The class pmvddrop is already registered with pmvddrop.dll, but since the file no longer exists I do want to reregister it with the new file.)

Again, a whole bunch of OS/2 windows momentarily appear and disappear. I catch a glimpse of a line that says something about tcpip.

-do you want to have WarpIN have restart the workplace shell
>yes

... only it wasn't restarted, only shut down. Shut all processes down. Nothing happens. Call up CAD commannder. Invoke a console window. Setboot -b.

After reboot,

Doubleclick on PMView Pro folder on the desktop.
Doubleclick on PMView Pro icon in the folder

The program tells me:
"You are on day 14 of your 31 day evaluation period."
>OK
>Close

That's all I can think of. At least I'm not running out of evaluation days as quickly.

What should I try next?

Peter,

My experience is basically the same as Tiejo's. As you guessed, MAKEDEFV.EXE didn't get run. The only thing I can add, is that I ran the install a few times, and positioned the installation windows so I could see what the command windows that came up. In each case they would flash up and close, but, they seemed to be saying that the file to be run wasn't found. That suggests the files are either not being copied, or, that WarpIn is using the wrong path to try and run them.

Anyway, I have solved my problem by using WIC.EXE to expand the installation file, and then copying and running REGISTER.EXE myself.

I also expanded the 3.04 installation files, and I couldn't see a difference between it and 3.05. So, now I'm wondering what has changed on my machine since I installed 3.04, as it went in with out any problems. If I can work it out, I'll tell you.
