DataObjects.Net and 64-bit Windows

In short, DataObjects.Net is now almost fully compatible with 64-bit Windows. "Almost" - because currently there is no 64-bit Oracle provider for SQL DOM, so you can't use DataObjects.Net with Oracle on 64-bit Windows for now.

Of course, this implies its installers (they were updated today) and all the scripts there like Install.bat / Build.bat now properly work in 64-bit environment.

Good news, however after installing the updated version and trying to create a new project from a DataObjects.Net Web Applcation Project template I'm getting an error. Because I cannot attach a screenshot here I'll do this on the support forum.

Alex Yakunin said...

That's bad... Likely, I forgot to check this. Do other project templates work?

Samirski said...

No, they don't. I've submitted this issue on the support forum as well.

Alex Yakunin said...

I just answered (notifying you here because e-mail notifications are off @ our forum now).

Alex Yakunin said...

The link to topic.

Samirski said...

There is no common folder after the installation...

Alex Yakunin said...

What's in DO4 installation folder then?

Samirski said...

$Setup$
Bin
Help
Install
Xtensive.Storage.Samples
Build.bat
Clean.bat
UpdateFileVersions.bat
UpdateTextTemplates.bat

So essential 90% are missing. Strange... Dmitry Maximov will test setup under Windows 7 (32 bit) in ~ few hours. Likely, this will give us some insight.

Btw, are you running setup from Administrator account?

Alex Yakunin said...

You can try this way as well, although now I'm not fully sure if it will work (let's wait Dmitri's results).

That's really not much harder, but you need to download 300 MB instead of 50.

Alex Yakunin said...

Hmm... Dmitri is going to sleep now. So we'll test everything on Windows 7 tomorrow.

Samirski said...

Yes I was running setup from Admin account but (maybe this helps) I deselected an option to install the sources on my computer. As far as I could see this is optional and I can always download the sources when I need them...

Samirski said...

And tomorrow I'll try the alternative way as you suggested...

Alex Yakunin said...

Ups... There is really a bug related to copying of Common+Lib folders and "Install sources" option. Historically they were unnecessary in case you don't want to compile DO4, but now they're necessary in any case.

I just fixed it. Today's nightly build will contain the fix. I ensure it will be available as "default" build as well.

Samirski said...

Thanks, I'll install the application with the sources then :)
