From the screenshot, it shows that the project wizard is unable to load Intersoft.Crosslight.ProjectWizard assembly which located in GAC. In order to overcome this problem, please add the assembly from "%programfiles(x86)%\Intersoft Solutions\Crosslight 2\Common\TemplateWizard\Intersoft.Crosslight.ProjectWizard.dll" into GAC.
For 32-bit OS, the assembly is available in "%programfiles%\Intersoft Solutions\Crosslight 2\Common\TemplateWizard\Intersoft.Crosslight.ProjectWizard.dll".

In order to do so, you can use Global Assembly Cache tool (gacutil.exe) which allows you to view and manipulate the contents of the global assembly cache and download cache. This tool is automatically installed with Visual Studio. To run the tool, use the Developer Command Prompt (or the Visual Studio Command Prompt in Windows 7). At the command prompt, type the following:

gacutil /i c:\Intersoft.Crosslight.ProjectWizard.dll

Note: on the snippet code above, I copy the assembly to "c:\Intersoft.Crosslight.ProjectWizard.dll" and install it into GAC.

Could you please inform us the detail of your development environment? For example:

• Operating System: Windows 8.1 64-bit
• Visual Studio 2012 Update 4
• Intersoft Premier Studio 2014 R1

We will use the information for further investigation to determine why the setup file doesn’t automatically (or fail) install the assembly into GAC.

One thing I would request is that your install shield allows me to specify the installing location. It's very odd however, the Intersoft selection has completely disappeared from my project selection.

Hi Nichols, you seem to have more Crosslight experience than I have. I just posted a question about a Crosslight 2 problem I encountered. See post "Crosslight 2 - List Navigation on Android". Do you have any trouble with list navigation on Android device with Crosslight 2? It would be nice to hear from the experiences of other users. 

Thanks.

Hi Nick,

Really sorry for the frustration you've experienced in installing our product. We have updated the installer to include the ability to specify the folder to install Crosslight into. One thing to note that when specifying the install folder, don't forget to include the backslash (\) at the end, for example: C:\Test\ instead of C:\Test. Hopefully this will resolve your issues. This installer should also fix the ProjectWizard assembly not properly installing to the Global Assembly Cache.

So ? about that can I mitigate this by manually registering it? Btw, I get a -3 error code when intsalling.

Do you think the vsix file is incorrect? Since the only reason why my category would not show up is because it's not properly installed, correct?

I opened a 1.5 crosslight app and it works fine, so I would assume this is a vsix error only.

Hi Nick,

You can download the new installer from our Request Trial site. This new installer will allow you to specify the location of the Mobile Studio to be installed. The installer is available through either dashboard or RequestTrial page.

By default, the installer will remove the old ProjectWizard assembly and replace it with the new one. To make sure, open up the Developer Command Prompt for Visual Studio, and run this command: "gacutil /l Intersoft.Crosslight.ProjectWizard" (without quotes). You should find the ProjectWizard updated to version 2.0.0.0, as seenin the attachment.

The VSIX is only used for the installation for Entity Designer Extensions for Visual Studio, the Crosslight ProjectWizard's integration doesn't use VSIX, but instead, a combination of ProjectWizard assembly installed to the Global Assembly Cache and the ProjectTemplates folder in My Documents/Visual Studio 2012/ProjectTemplates/Visual C#/Intersoft Solutions/Mobile/CrosslightApp.zip.

To see the dropdown for Crosslight v2.0, you'll need to open up registry editor. Check the HKLM/Software folder. Make a backup of the registry. If you're running a 64-bit version of Windows, you'll find a Wow6432Node folder. if you happen to find the "Intersoft Solutions" folder as a sibling of the Wow6432Node folder, you'll need to delete the whole folder for the Crosslight 2.0 to properly show up in the Update Manager.

In short, you should not have the Intersoft Solutions folder under HKLM/Software (this only applies to 64-bit Windows), as seen in the attachment. Re-run the LicenseManager from the C:\Program Files (x86)\Intersoft Solutions\Crosslight 2\common\LicenseManager\ISNet.WebUI.LicenseManager.exe, then you should be able to install Crosslight license properly.

I deleted the registry item, but the crosslight 2 option does not appear. Even when I delete the first Crosslight 1.0.5 version.

Any Ideas?

We've improved the License Manager to address the missing product issue when upgrading to a new release. Could you please try the License Manager and see if it works fine in your end?

Note that one of the registry entries should contain Crosslight 2, i.e., whether it's in the 64 bit registry or in 32 bit. If you cannot find it in both registry entries, you might have deleted incorrect entry previously. 

Hope this helps!

Hello,

I tried to run the attachment on 64bit and it works fine. Did you get any error? Please let us know in details.

Handy
