I'm having trouble going through the samples that come with the Desktop Evaluation version.
I can open the solution in either VS2008 or VS2010; however, if I try to open any of the forms in the designer, Visual Studio shuts down unexpectedly, without issuing any error in screen or in any log.
Is there a way to find out what is going on?
We are in the process of evaluating ThinkGeo at the moment, and this problem is complicating the process.
Curiously, I was able to run and open the samples in C# Express ... the designer opens, although it doest not show anything.
When trying to run the samples, upon activation of any form, an exception is raised with message "The evaluation edition has not been installed".
Is there any specific process to be completed after installing the evaluation version?
Problem during evaluation
Eduardo,
Thanks for your post!
According to your descriptions, I have several questions to ask you below:
1, What’s the version did you use? The latest version number is 5.0.48.0, if not please get the latest version to try again.
2, For this exception "“The evaluation edition has not been installed”, I think you didn’t install the MapSuite Desktop edition properly.
Also can you tell me the detail environment for your computer? For example, the .NET framework version on your computer, OS and so on. We never encountered such issue for installing the evaluation edition.
Thanks,
Scott,
Hi Scott,
I downloaded the zipped installation package from your website. How can I find out the specific version number?
If I look into the properties of the MapCore.dll and DesktopEdition.dll files, they show 5.0.0.0.
I am using VS 2010 (10.0.30319.1) with .NET Framework 4 in a Windows7 Professional machine.
Thanks for your help,
Eduardo.
Eduardo,
Thanks for your further information!
Please login the custom portal to download the special version from the DailyBuild of Development branch below:
helpdesk.thinkgeo.com/login/?ReturnUrl=%2f
My computer has the same environment with your machine, so I don't think there are any installation issue for the packages, I installed several MapSuite products and never encounter such problems. So please login to the custom portal and get the latest version and try again,
Thanks,
Scott,
Hi Scott,
I tried logging in to the URL you sent me using the ID that I created for downloading the evaluation version, but it didn't work.
Should I have another ID for logging in to that URL?

Eduardo.
Hi Eduardo,
Are you downloaded our desktop eval version from here (download.thinkgeo.com/MapSuiteDesktopEvalSetup.zip) of our pge (gis.thinkgeo.com/Products/MapSuiteFreeTrialDownloads/tabid/152/Default.aspx)?
I am using the win7 and vs2010. After I install this package, the samples run well and haven’t thrown the exception.
Please let me know if you have some more information about that.
Regards,
Don
I downloaded the MapSuiteDesktopEvalSetup.zip file again and reinstalled.
Now the samples at least run in VS2010 (previously VS just shutdown). I got the following console output:
The thread 'vshost.LoadReference' (0x24fc) has exited with code 0 (0x0).

Additional information: The evaluation edition has not been installed.

Any help appreciated.

Eduardo,
Thank you for you post, it seems like there may be some issues with how the Evaluation edition was installed so here is what I would recommend.
1. Uninstall the Map Suite Evaluation Edition
2. Delete the folder under Program Files\ThinkGeo\Map Suite Desktop
3. Download the latest evaluation edition of Map Suite from our website at: gis.thinkgeo.com/Products/MapSuiteFreeTrialDownloads/tabid/152/Default.aspx
If you are still having issues after doing these steps we can setup a gotomeeting to further troubleshoot the issues.
Notice: Please backup any code changes that you had made to the samples before uninstalling.
Regards,
Don
Hi Don,
Still the same issue after uninstalling, deleting the folder, downloading the latest version and reinstalling again.
I even deactivated the antivirus ... but it didn't help.
Regards,
Eduardo.
Eduardo,
I think we may need to setup a gotomeeting to see exactly what is happening to troubleshoot further.
Please email to support@thinkgeo.com to setup a time for the gotomeeting.

Don
Please let me know the solution for the same if any. I am facing the same issue. :(
Hi dhruti,
You means your issue totally the same with Eduardo?
Have you try my advice in this post and whether that only appear in one machine?
Could you post the description about your problem and your environment?
Regards,
Don
