Hello to all, im almost new on this but im trying to install DDEX provider
2.0.4 and FirebirdClient 2.5.0 Alpha 2 on my Windows Vista Computer with VS
2008 without SDK, so far i can make all the steps of the installation
process but so far no luck, when i open a new conection and try to make it
it close by itself i investigate a litle bit about it and this happend
suposoully when you put wrong information on the machine.config. but so far
i dont know what im doing wrong
this is what i do
*.- i download and install the file FirebirdClient Binary.msi from the
firebird SQL site the version 2.5.0 Alpha 2
*.- Download and decompress the file DDEX Provider that has a couple of .reg
files inside
*.- I use the GACutil to install the FirebirdClient and i really check the
upper and lowercase of the dll to type it down exactly as is the file
*.- i use the GAC to obtain the info of the FirebirdClient install and i get
this
The Global Assembly Cache contains the following
assemblies:Firebirdsql.data.firebirdclient, Version=2.5.0.0,
Culture=neutral, PublicKeyTo
ken=3750abcc3150b00c, processorArchitecture=MSIL
i add this info to machine.config but here i have a question, the only file
that i found is on the .net folders for the version 2.0?? but i have also
the 3.5 so i dont know if im right but this is what i changed
<configuration>
<configSections>
...
<section name="firebirdsql.data.firebirdclient"
type="System.Data.Common.DbProviderConfigurationHandler, System.Data,
Version=2.5.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=3750abcc3150b00c" />
...
<configSections>
<system.data>
<DbProviderFactories>
...
<add name="FirebirdClient Data Provider"
invariant="FirebirdSql.Data.FirebirdClient" description=".Net Framework Data
Provider for Firebird"
type="FirebirdSql.Data.FirebirdClient.FirebirdClientFactory,
FirebirdSql.Data.FirebirdClient, Version=2.5.0.0, Culture=neutral,
PublicKeyToken=3750abcc3150b00c" />
...
</DbProviderFactories>
</system.data>
....
</configuration>
after this some tutorials says that i have to change the path on the reg
file that comes with the DDEX installation package but i cant find a path on
that file
can someone tellme if im doing this right or im really really losing the
point here
My regards
