Attention SEQUEL ViewPoint 9.0 and Higher Users

If you have installed Windows Service Pack 3, you may experience the following issue.

Issue:

Updating to Windows Service Pack 3 that includes an update to the Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5 can cause SEQUEL ViewPoint 9.0 and higher to experience the following problems:

  • Creating a new view (File\New\View) generates a variety of Exception and/or Run-time errors.
  • Editing an existing view (File\Open) fails to open the view, but does not generate any additional errors.

Solution:

Do the following to resolve this issue:

  1. End SEQUEL ViewPoint and enter one of the following commands in the Windows\Start\Run dialog box or at a DOS prompt (enter the entire command string, including all quotes):
    • For Windows XP and Windows 7 - 32-bit:

      "c:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727\RegAsm.exe" "C:\Program Files\SEQUEL ViewPoint\SEQUEL.Data.dll" /tlb:"C:\Program Files\SEQUEL ViewPoint\SEQUEL.Data.tlb"

    • For Windows 7 - 64-bit:

      "c:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727\RegAsm.exe" "C:\Program Files (x86)\SEQUEL ViewPoint\SEQUEL.Data.dll" /tlb:"C:\Program Files\SEQUEL ViewPoint\SEQUEL.Data.tlb"

  2. Note: SEQUEL ViewPoint 10.10.175 and higher runs the correct command automatically. We recommend that you update ViewPoint to this version.

  3. Restart SEQUEL ViewPoint and retry the operation that failed previously.
