Uninstall wisej 1.5.23 and issues with 2.5.16

Hi,

I have some serious issues with my wisej installation.

Like three weeks ago I made a project with Wisej.Ext.SpeechRecognition, everything worked fine (it was a wisej 2.5 project).

Few days ago I tried to create a new project, nothing wants to work now. Can’t remember to have changed anything in the meanwhile.

I still have Wisej Web 1.5.23 installation, which I can’t uninstall (“This package can only be run from a bootstrapper”) and I have Wisej 2.5 (2.5.16).

VS 2017 lists me like 3 versions of items in the toolbox, after a reset of toolbox things look still the same. Items from 2.5. node do not have icons like in the past.

A new Wisej project has references to System.Windows.Forms for some reason.

I really have no idea what happened or how to fix it (unistall/reinstall of wisej 2.5.16 didn’t change a lot). I also have seen, that I have to add a nuget now, because all the framework libraries are no longer installed on local machine (this wasn’t the case with my last project that was a wisej 2.5 too).

Any ideas what’s going on or how to e.g. deinstall that old 1.5.23 installation? Do I need to delete any folders in VS maybe?

Thanks,

Jan Mika.

Hi Jan,

I believe that the project you made is with Wisej 2.5 beta.
With the release, we have changed how Wisej is deployed. Now the installer only installs the designer, Theme Builder and a local NuGet repository named “Wisej Local”.
Also, Wisej now targets .NET Framework 4.8, you can know more about this here: What’s new in 2.5 – Wisej API.

I would highly suggest that you:

  1. Uninstall Wisej, for your issue with 1.5, I would suggest that you uninstall it from the installer executable instead of from the Control Panel or the App Settings. Now if that doesn’t work, you can enable MSI verbose logging and send over the log
  2. Clean the GAC by deleting all of Wisej references.
  3. Re-install Wisej 2.5 (If you happen to have problems getting the templates, please go here for more info: New Project – Wisej)
  4. Delete all references of Wisej.Framework.dll from your projects, and instead install it from NuGet, you can do so by choosing the local source or nuget.org
  5. For the extensions, they are no longer come pre-included in the installer, instead they are exclusively available on nuget.org repository

Let me know if this works,

Best regards,
Alaa

Hi!

So after I uninstalled all previous versions and made a clean installation of most recent version (2.5.16) everything works nearly fine now.

One inconvenience is left, I have each item in my toolbox twice – with and without icon. Probably there is some way to remove them, but it’s ok for now.

All in all after changing everything to nuget things works very fine – for each extension you have a nuget (like wisej-barcode, -speech, etc.) – much better than in the past, where you had to compile the projects on your own and add them as reference.

Thanks, problem solved, you may close this thread if you like.

Best regards,

Jan

Ok, I extracted the msi-files with

wisej-1.5.23.exe /extract "myfolderpath"

started one of them, and woohoo we have a remove option that worked fine.

There are no Wisej entries in GAC anylonger, now I can proceed to further steps.

 

Thanks,

Jan

Ok,

not that easy to get rid of 1.5.23. The corresponding installer has no remove feature, so I see no other way than the Control Panel, but that doesn’t work either telling me: “This package can only be run from a bootstrapper”. For msiexec with verbose log I’d need an msi-package for 1.5.23 – but I only have the exe installer.

Any advice on this?

Thanks,

Jan.

Ok, that was fast 🙂

Thanks, I’ll try everything you mentioned and give some update soon.

 

Kind regards,

Jan
