Lonkero Lonkero KiX Master Guru Registered: 2001-06-05 Posts: 22346 Loc: OK	yet again I decided to try and install kixforms to no avail. the msi does not work as it requires .net 1.1 to install. .net 1.1 does not install on win7 64bit (rolls back when almost done installing). regsvr32 on the dll itself fails as well. so, not really sure how to use kixforms anymore at all. this is not the first windows 7 I have tried. _________________________ ! download KiXnet

Lonkero Lonkero KiX Master Guru Registered: 2001-06-05 Posts: 22346 Loc: OK	well that's good to know, all the work that was put into the .net version :P anyways, I do have to admit that the .net framework is almost unacceptable obstacle. _________________________ ! download KiXnet

Arend_ Arend_ MM club member Registered: 2005-01-17 Posts: 1896 Loc: Hilversum, The Netherlands	Ehm, Kixforms Classic works fine for me on Win7 x64. Place kixforms.dll in %WinDir%\SysWow64 and register it using regsvr32. Using version 2.47.4.0 btw. KixForms.Net works fine for me as well, I've switched over to it ever since it came out. Using version 3.2.14 of that, which works on .Net 2.0

Arend_ Arend_ MM club member Registered: 2005-01-17 Posts: 1896 Loc: Hilversum, The Netherlands	Oh and according to the version history log from version 3.2.5 .Net 1.1 was dropped in favor of .Net 2.0 Version 3.2.5 - Added support for .NET 2.0 runtime. - Dropped support for .NET 1.1 runtime.

Mart Mart KiX Supporter Registered: 2002-03-27 Posts: 4673 Loc: The Netherlands	I'm using both flavors of kixforms on Win7, Win2K3 and Win2K8. The main reason for using .net is that I can use for example .png images with a transparent background. As far as I know classic only takes .bmp images which does not support transparent backgrounds. As far as coding goes, I’m more familiar with kixforms.net. Ages ago when I was still a young, fresh, less experienced sysadmin I started with classic but accidentally switched to .net and never fully switched back. Most of my kixforms stuff is in .net but for some I still use classic. _________________________ Mart - Chuck Norris once sold ebay to ebay on ebay.

I do remember adding stuff from .net 2.0 back in the day, but if the version was never released, it does not really matter. I may need to look into that latest devel though. _________________________ ! download KiXnet

It_took_my_meds It_took_my_meds Hey THIS is FUN Registered: 2003-05-07 Posts: 273 Loc: Sydney, Australia	Maybe we could beg Shawn to do an update or even better open up the source. There are a number of bugs in classic that I would dearly love to fix. I would happily try to fix them myself if I had access to the source. What Shawn gave us with KiXforms was just wonderful, but to then abruptly stop and leave us with no way to keep things working properly... not so much. At one point I tried to offer Shawn money to get access to the source, but I didn't get a response :-(

Lonkero Lonkero KiX Master Guru Registered: 2001-06-05 Posts: 22346 Loc: OK	I haven't got any responses either about kixforms. it's like he tries to forget that he was the developer who made it. _________________________ ! download KiXnet

It_took_my_meds It_took_my_meds Hey THIS is FUN Registered: 2003-05-07 Posts: 273 Loc: Sydney, Australia	Does any mod or admin (maybe NTDOC?) have his current email address? Maybe they could explain the issues and ask him on behalf of us? If he wants to forget he made it then that is actually OK so long as he doesn't also leave us with no way to fix bugs and keep it up to date. I for one have over 20,000 lines of carefully crafted KiXforms code.
