Failed to Register Data Access Guidance Package

I read several posts about registration problems, but could not find the solution for this.

When I tried to registerthe Data Access Guidance Package of WSSF. I got following message:

Microsoft.Practices.RecipeFramework.ActionExecutionException: An exception occurred during the binding of reference or execution of recipe Register. Error was: Action Register failed to execute:
Failed to process package. See the Guidance Package Development output window for more information about the error..
You can remove the reference to this recipe through the Guidance Package Manager. ---> System.Configuration.Install.InstallException: Failed to process package. See the Guidance Package Development output window for more information about the error.

That version of Service Factoryrequires June 06 CTP GAX/GAT which is 1.1 and no 1.3. If you want use the latest version of GAX/GAT you can download the very latest bits of the Repository Factory from Codeplex, here: http://www.codeplex.com/RepositoryFactory, there are a recent release which use gax 1.3

Hi Bob,
Could you post the error that you're getting in the output window? (into the Guidance Package Development category).

thanks.

Hi Bob, could you finally fix the registration failure? Any luck?

Thanks your reply, Adrian and Jose!

I've fixed the issue yet. Actually, I got several errors. I am trying to identity them �I feel that GAX & GAT are not reliable.

I did almost the same things for Data Access Guidance Package and WCF Guidance Package. However, I cannot register Data Access Guidance Package, even though I register WCF Guidance Package successfully (in Visual Studio via Guidance Package Development).

Hi Bob,

Can you please check if this thread:

Also, it may help if you could run Fusion viewer logging binding failures. This looks like the installer type can't be loaded so fusion log should help the guessing game.

thanks,

-Victor.

vga  Friday, September 07, 2007 5:31 AM

I think I have exactly the same problem. And the solution offered above (about checking and possibly modifying the maching.config) did not apply.

Fusion output indicates that the assembly in question (Microsoft.Practices.ServiceFactory.DataAccess.Installer.dll)does in fact load, as do all the other assemblies.

Any help with this matter will be greatly appreciated...

klogeaage  Wednesday, September 12, 2007 10:19 AM
Thanks for all replies. I can install the package using the MSI file that is the building output of the solution, so I don’t care if it can be registered via Visual Studio 2005 now. But I will come back to see what is the problem, after I finish some urgent works on my hands.
Bob H.L.  Sunday, September 16, 2007 12:03 PM
Hi Bob,
Could you tell me which version of GAX/GAT, WCF/Data Access and OS are you using? I've been trying to reproduce the issue with no luck. Are u running as Administrator?

thanks.
jose.
Jose Escrich  Sunday, September 16, 2007 11:18 PM

Hi Jose,

I am running as administrator. WCF/Data Access isthe December release as available on the download site. Specifically, the version of Microsoft.Practices.ServiceFactory.DataAccess.dll is1.0.2546.32561. GAX/GAX is 1.3 (latest and ONLY oneavailable on download site).

Regards

David

That version of Service Factoryrequires June 06 CTP GAX/GAT which is 1.1 and no 1.3. If you want use the latest version of GAX/GAT you can download the very latest bits of the Repository Factory from Codeplex, here: http://www.codeplex.com/RepositoryFactory, there are a recent release which use gax 1.3

Jose Escrich  Monday, September 17, 2007 3:36 PM

I don't particularly want to run that version of GAX/GAT, but unfortunately, it is the only one readilly available on the official download pages. I have tried to locate the 1.1 version, but to no avail.

What I really want is "just" to access an Oracle database with the Data Access Guidance Package from the Web Services Software Factory (December Release). Will the above mentioned release support that? Or can you point me to the 1.1version of GAX/GAT?

The assemblies mapping is correct as I installed latest version of GAX & GAT 1.3.

I failed to register as administrator in XP Professional SP2using VS 2005 Team Suite SP1.

In Vista, I was able to register using VS2005 Professional SP1, but I couldn't find the package in Guidance Package Manager. And then I failed to unregister it - the error is the same: unable to find the installer.

WhenI used GAX & GAT 1.1 (June 2006) inVista withVS2005 Professional SP1, I was able to register and unregister, but I still wasnotable the package in Guidance Package Manager.

So, in this case, the problem is the version of GAX & GAT - when used 1.3, I need to update the SpecificVersion to False, otherwise Build would fail.

Bob H.L.  Wednesday, September 19, 2007 12:35 PM

I also changed SpecificVersion=false for the failing references to get it to build. However, this is NOT enough for the Installer package: DataAccess Guidance Package Installer.csproj.Instead, Iremoved the old references to the two assemblies:

Microsoft.Practices.RecipeFramework

Microsoft.Practices.RecipeFramework.VisualStudio

and added them again. And presto, it finally worked!! Why this is necessary, I don't know, and it is not at all obvious.
