RE: [IMail Forum] Imail 2006 upgrade nightmare!

Title: Message
My final thought on this
 
The problem I see is customers are now debugging the .asp product. When they release the aspx product then it starts all over again because it is then essentially a new product. Maybe they are doing a leap frog. Admin in .asp web client in .net 1.1 now! Next Admin in .net 2.0 and web client in .net 1.1. Probably not but you never know now do you!
 
I see this as some insight into their development process. Having the different technologies is not a big concern, they will function flawlessly side by side. I could see the web client in a different technology if they already had a release version of the admin in .asp but they never released one. So releasing a new version of IMail in two different web technologies tells me that they saw too many people jumping ship and wanted to beat the new version of SmarterMail to market in an attempt to retain more customers. Not necessarily build a quality product!

This was addressed by Ipswitch about month or so ago to this list.  At the time it was stated that webmail would be .NET and admin would be ASP.  Admin would be moving to .NET in a future release.  My guess is a desire to leverage previous work done towards admin to get a product to market quicker.
 
Yes, they could create Interop wrappers around COM components that are already written in order to make the interface of the admin .NET as well, but I don't see a problem with mixing the two technologies for the time being.

My question at this point is if web mail is .net why is IADMIN .asp pages???? This seems a little funny. Two different MS web technologies in the same product and a new one at that. All web based applications should be .net.
 
????? If it really is a ASP and not .net. I would start to question the choices that IPSwirch is making on the development of this product.

In my opinion it's not MDAC as the error message you've got access IAdmin points to a line in the application (it's an ASP-script) where no access to any database is done. I can't say exactly what the component written by Ipswitch is doing during the instanciation (this is what happens in line 173) Theoretically it's also possible that they access something like a database but then you shouldn't receive an error "Createobject failed". This indicates more a problem that this component is
 
a.) not registered on you system as it should (durring the installation)
b.) the dll-file containing this component is not (more) here
or
c.) the user under what your Iadmin-IIS-Webspace is running on has no NTFS-rights to read and execute it
 
=> check NTFS-permissions of the entire IMail-directory.

OK, translate that into something even I can understand. 
 
What are you saying might be the problem? 
 
Thanks,

Looking at the file and the line from the error message below I can see
 
  oProducts = Server.CreateObject("IpsGlobal.IpswitchProductCollection.1");
 
So it shouldn't be a problem with MDAC, the Filesystemobject or anything else what is part of your OS.
Looks more like it's not possible to create an instance of Ipswitch's component.

Subject: [IMail Forum] Imail 2006 upgrade nightmare!

I decided to try and go forward with the 2006 upgrade today.  Nothing has worked as planned (of course).
 
First problem is that Imail won't activate my license.  Even the manual process doesn't work.  But this is not my major problem.
 
Big problem is trying to run Iadmin.  The Iclient runs fine, but when I try and run Iadmin I get the following error:
 
Server object error 'ASP 0177 : 800401f3'
 
Server.CreateObject Failed
 
/iadmin/includes/ApplicationContext.asp, line 173
 
800401f3
 
Server is running Windows 2003 Server.  Very stable box. 
 
I can log on to the web client just fine and everything seems to work, but I really need to access iadmin to configure the system!
 
Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.  I've run the setup at least 4 times with varying results.
