open a command prompt, go into your notes program directory and run regsvr32 nlsxbe.dllto register the Notes COM object support, then try again, this should fix it.
Hmmm… the .dll was successfully registered, but it didn’t work with the install (same error), though I have not rebooted yet. It seems to go through the install pretty much all the way, I think it’s just having trouble adding the menu item. Is there a way I can add it manually? This search really whips the Teamstudio search
The MSI installer installs DDSearch, and then calls ddsearch.exe /INSTALL , which in turns adds the menu entry to the designer client. From what I can tell is that either you didn’t perform a clean R6 install or you maybe mixed it with an R5 install, or you launch the code with a notes.ini in a non-standard place, preventing it from starting up programmatically. I was wrong with the reference to the COM registration, as DDSearch doesn’t use COM for the registration of the menu, it uses OLE automation at this point…
So, I really recommend that you try to get a standard install and then it should just work fine.
The other alternative is to create the menu item manually:
Open bookmark.nsf, find the “DesignTools” outline and add a new child entry under the “Always” entry like so:
The computed value needs to set to this code below, make sure to update the 1st line to suit your environment:
application := “D:\DDSearch\DDSearch”;
server := @Name([Abbreviate];@DbName[1]);
cmdServer := @If(server=“”;“”;“/server:"” + server + “"”);
I could finally install the Sanbox-file! Indeed the system I have to use is a dual R5/R6 system, so some manual hanky/panky was required. The formula above did the trick!
