GDN-ELMAH MSI should not require .NET 1.1 #64

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 8 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 8 years ago 
It'd be nice to have a version that doesn't require .NET 1.1 to be 
installed.

Hi Brent,

Can you be a bit more specific please?

Thanks,

James

I ran ELMAHSetup.msi and it required me to install .NET 1.1 before it would 
install. 
I just thought it would be nice to not have to install .NET 1.1 since none of 
our 
apps run under the 1.1 framework. 

Anyway, thanks for this.

I think you're talking about the following download, which contains the MSI:
http://elmah.googlecode.com/files/GDN-ELMAH-1.0.5527-setup.zip

This download is only provided for archiving purposes becuase the original on 
Microsoft's now-closed GotDotNet community web site is no longer available for 
download. It was the original version of ELMAH that was released as part of an 
MSDN 
article sample (see http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa479332.aspx) and 
which 
is not slated for any maintenance releases. The download will also no longer be 
listed here once the current open source version 1.0 is released. The new 
version 
will also not ship in MSI form. MSI installation was supplied with GDN-ELMAH 
because 
MSI is the only officially supported way to install an assembly into the GAC on 
a 
production box. The open source ELMAH is not strong-named anymore and therefore 
does 
not support GAC installation out of the box (though anyone is free to download 
the 
sources and sign their own compilation).

I see, gotcha. Thanks for the thorough explanations. I will go ahead and 
download 
the source versions. 

As a side note, why are you guys here instead of CodePlex.com ? Just curious.

One resaon is because how MS has handled the shutdown of GotDotNet. One a short 
notice they closed the site without to give any help transfering the code to 
CodePlex.  

To avoid such problems, better go with more lasting platforms.
Atif, correct me if I'm wrong.

@schoenholzer: Yep, that's pretty much the reason. Plus, at the time, CodePlex 
was 
pretty new, didn't support Subversion and was experiencing stability issues 
(IIRC, 
they even lost source code to some projects) and so the future was uncertain.
