[Haskell-cafe] Re: [Haskell] ANNOUNCE: Visual Haskell prerelease 0.2

30 Nov 2006

      Hi Shelarcy,

Could you check whether you have this registry key:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\VisualStudio\8.0\InstallDir

and tell me its value? Typically its value should be such that the
following script to work.

Set shell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
vstudioPath  = shell.RegRead
      ("HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\VisualStudio\8.0\InstallDir")
shell.Run ("""" & vstudioPath & "devenv.exe"" /Setup",0,true)

Cheers,
   Krasimir

If it is in Japan then translate it in English ;-).
It's not good error message. Anyway, I translate it.
Near the end of install process, error dialog opened and says:
---
The problem happende, so exit Microsoft Development Environment.
I'm sorry for causing inconvenience to you.
(under its message, error dialog has form that send error report
for Microsoft or shows error detail. These messages are not
important, so I don't translate that.)
---
And click form that shows error detail, another dialog opened.
It shows:
---
:Error ditail:
An unhandled exception has been caught by the VSW exception filter.
:Error Signature:
AppName: devenv.exe      AppVer: 7.10.6030.0     ModName: unknown
ModVer: 0.0.0.0  Offset: 00bbbacc
:Report Detail:
(Below meassage attetion to user that error report send what.
So these messages are not important, too.)
---
...
Also it can help
if you run the installer with logging:
$ msiexec VSHaskell71.msi /l log.txt
msiexec doesn't run its command. And error dialog noticed that
you forgot /i optio. So I used below command.
$ msiexec /i VSHaskell71.msi /l log.txt
I think log.txt is much more useful than previous messages.
log.txt also has Japanese messages. So I translated that part.

In the Visual Haskell\bin directory you can see one directory called
1033 with vs_haskell_ui.dll in it. vs_haskell_ui.dll contains various
string resources used in Visual Haskell. For each supported language
you need to have a different directory and 1033 is the code used for
English. I don't know the code required for Japan but you can look at
C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\VC\bin directory and see
what code VC++ is using. After that try to rename the 1033 directory
to what is required for Japan. Tell me whether that works.
Japanese diretory is 1041.
After rename it, I tried to use Visual Haskell 0.2. But same error dialog
opened and exit Visual Studio, too.
