Could not access network location Extensions\Blade #3

Closed FlyingDeveloper closed 12 years ago

FlyingDeveloper commented 12 years ago

This project sounds awesome, and I'm psyched to try it out, but when I run the installer, I get this error message:

Could not access network location Extensions\Blade

Any idea why I'm seeing this?

dorba commented 12 years ago

The Visual Studio templates are installed under the Extensions directory you're seeing there. This should be located under C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 10.0\Common7\IDE\Extensions. Is your program files directory on a network share? Also are you running Windows 7 and is it 32 or 64-bit OS?

FlyingDeveloper commented 12 years ago

The Program Files directory is local, and I'm on 32 bit Win7, so my directory would be C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 10.0\Common7\IDE\Extensions. It seems like the installer is looking for a Blade folder there, but it's not there because I haven't installed it yet, right?

This is almost certainly because there's some issue with the install paths on a 32-bit install. All of my dev machines are 64-bit, so I never actually tested it under 32-bit :(

I'll setup a 32-bit VM and see if I can reproduce this.

dorba commented 12 years ago

I was able to setup a 32-bit environment and reproduce the issue. I corrected the installer to work with both 32 and 64-bit environments and pushed an updated installer to the release folder. If you grab the latest MSI, you should be able to install. Let me know if you hit any other issue. Thanks for finding this.

Just tried it again, and the installer worked. Thanks!
