Error of custom installation. #10

Open ktosiuu opened 10 years ago

ktosiuu commented 10 years ago

I installed Firebird at D drive in custom dir and when I try to install TurboBird it can't see Firebird's dlls. It should show window where people can indicate custom path.

motaz commented 10 years ago

That is happened due to Firebird installation type, either:

  1. While installation you didn't selected (Copy FireBird library to Windows directory)
  2. You have installed a 32 bit version of Firebird library and 64 bit version of TurboBird or vice versa.

Note: Firebird library is not part of TurboBird installation, but it is a requirement to install TurboBird

ktosiuu commented 10 years ago

Ok, I didn't selected "Copy FireBird library to Windows directory". Now I must reinstall firebird?

In my opinion this option with custom path should be added.

motaz commented 10 years ago

I didn't tried loading library in a specific path, could you please try it in Lazarus tell me how to do it

ktosiuu commented 10 years ago

I don't use Lazarus/Pascal.

I reinstalled FireBird, this time with selected "Copy FireBird library to Windows directory" and I still have this same problem. I even copied TurboBird into folder (firebird_2_5/bin/) with fbclient.dll and it still don't work.

motaz commented 10 years ago

That means TurboBird type is different that Firebird type, either you select TurboBird32 bit and FireBird 32 bit or install TurboBird64 and Firebird 64-bit

motaz commented 10 years ago

Please let me know what is the result, and could you please send an snapshot of the error, and what is your OS version?

motaz commented 10 years ago

could you try this: http://codesoft.dyndns.org/TurboBirdEmedded.zip it uses FireBird emedded library, no need for installation, just uncompress and run TurboBird.exe

ktosiuu commented 10 years ago

I have FireBird 32 bit and TurboBird 32 bit, I use Windows 7. TurboBird Embded works fine - FB in D:\firebird_2_5\ and TB in D:\TurboBirdEmbded.

A few sugestions:

| Query Window [X] | | Database script [X] |  

It is more intuitive.

I have fixed the Permissions management bug in the development version, you can download it from here: http://codesoft.dyndns.org/TurboBirdWin32.zip

for the Closing button X, it is a good idea, but I don't know how to do it, because I can't put a control in that title, only text and icons can be added there.

for the language options, people who need this feature could add it, it is an open source project, people could contribute to add such features.

I'm still want to know what is the problem that prevents Firebird library to be loaded in your system. What is the version of FireBird do you use(Classic, super-server, etc), I want to try it.

ktosiuu commented 10 years ago

I have the newest version 2.5.2.26540 (http://sourceforge.net/projects/firebird/files/firebird-win32/2.5.2-Release/Firebird-2.5.2.26540_0_Win32.exe/download) as the super-server.

I had tested the new version and it works fine.
