[Quickfix-developers] strange error when moving app to new server

[Mike S. <MS...@rj...>]

Hi all,

I'm having a very troubling issue trying to install a QuickFIX
application on a windows 2003 server.

I've got a windows .net (2.0) service that I've created, which uses
QuickFIX.  I've developed and tested it on my machine, and it runs like
a champ.  I'm now having an issue when I try to deploy it to a
production windows 2003 server. =20

When I run installUtil, I get a vague error saying that it was unable to
get the installer types.  I've been unable to get past this error.

On the 2003 server I have installed the .NET 2.0 Framework, the .NET 2.0
SDK and MSXML3.  I did not want to install the full Visual Studio 2005
as this is a production server.  I also have installed the
quickfix_net.dll and quickfix_net_messages.dll in the GAC (and have
tried with it not in the GAC).

What I've done, is create a brand new windows service application and
successfully installed it on the server.  I then have added one .cs file
at a time (from my quickfix application) to see which file would cause
it to error.  I then found the guilty file, which is the first one to
actually use QuickFIX.  The actual class is in the bottom of this email.
I have no idea what to do at this point.  I figure that since I have the
same quickfix_net.dll and quickfix_net_messages.dll that I'm using on my
machine, which work great, that the QuickFix stuff should have all it
needs.  I've also tried running it as a console application and get a
very strange 'file not found' error right away when I run it, even
though I can't see it hitting any code which would look for a file.

I'm basically stuck right now as I've been trying to get this to work
for 2 days straight.  The code works great on my machine and is ready to
move to production, I just need to get past this.  If anyone has ANY
ideas, please send them on, I'm willing to try anything at this point.

Thanks,

Mike
