JETRUN error message

[JXBURNS]

Have project with JET & MDAC (Complete) runtime added running on a Windows 95 machine with all available updates applied including MDAC 2.6. When it ran I noticed an error which have now isolated to JETRUN.EXE.

When JETRUN is run manually from the windows temp directory it comes up with "Error executing file (#1, Line #1)). I'm sure on earlier versions of this runtime the SF6 project for JETRUN was available so I could diagnose this but not anymore so can't find out what this could possibly be trying to execute and failing.

Same directory does contain JET40SP8_9xNT.EXE in case that is the one.

Any ideas?

Thanks - John

To fix the issue:

1) Go to C:\Program Files\Setup Factory 6.0\Runtimes\JET and MDAC (Complete)
2) Open the project file named: JET and MDAC (Complete).sf6
3) Double click the file named: JetRun.exe
4) Go to the conditions tab and replace the current condition with:

%IRUpdateJET% OR %IRUpdateMDAC26% OR %IRUpdateMDAC28%

5) Save the project file.
6) Build your setup again and the changes will be applied.

I apologize for any inconvenience

Sorry Adam, I forgot to mention I had already applied this update to the runtime SF6 file before I rebuilt my project as I found the update in an earlier message in this forum but this error still persists.

I believe the earlier error was where JETRUN.EXE was either not being installed or being removed from the temp directory earlier than expected. In my case the JETRUN.EXE is present in the windows temp directory as I can run manually after the event which is where I am seeing the error.

Is there a SF6 file for JETRUN.EXE I can look at to work on what out what is going on? I'm sure there used to be about 18 months or so ago as I used it to fix a problem with an earlier MDAC installer, when it was not detecting the version of IE4, which I eventually fixed and sent into IR.

Thanks = John

And just to verify:

a) Rechecked JET & MDAC - JETRUN had new condition applied in case I was going mad...
b) Rebuilt Project to include this runtime.
c) Rebuilt destination computer (from Ghost image)
d) Applied project.
e) Got to end screen where said would reboot.
f) Checked registry and stated would run C:\WINDOWS\TEMP\JETRUN.EXE (from RunOnce in HKLM)
g) Rebooted.
h) After logging in system attempted to run JETRUN with same Error #1 on Line #11.

John,

The project file ReBootRun.sf6 is where the JETRUN.exe is generated from. This has been working for me since the fix that I mentioned above was applied. Can you replicate this issue on more than one machine? What OS is this error occuring on?

Does anyone else have this issue?

Thank you for your time John

I'm running this on a Win95 machine but I have found the answer now you reminded me what the name of the SF6 project was that built this.

In the readme that comes with the JET & MDAC project it mentions that the JET file for Win95 is called Jet40SP7_9xNT.exe.

However MSFT's KB article referred to later in the same readme (http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=829558) itself contains downloads to JET40SP8_9xNT.EXE as being the latest for Windows 95 etc.

So I ignored your readme in favour of the later version of the file and had already amended the JET & MDAC project accordingly. What I failed to do was amend the ReBootRun.sf6 project as well to reflect the later version of the file as it is trying to run Jet40SP7_9xNT.exe whereas Jet40SP8_9xNT.exe has been installed into the TEMP directory. The same thing applies to the Windows ME file as well.

I will change this on my version and, when tested, will send off to you if you feel like updating the official version after you have tested it (although SF7 may of course arrive first!).

John,

That is great to hear that you solved your issue. Let me know when you are finished and we will look into this.

Worked OK this time and JET4SP8 installed fine on Win95. Have sent Darryl the updated files if you want to consider releasing them to Joe Public.
