So I finally got my new computer for other machine. Did a fresh new install of PC-DMIS and Datapage +5.2, on windows 10. So a few of us still use the External Command, Listening at the top and End at the bottom. Well if you don't install Datapage 5.0 and install 5.2, this little knickknack don't work. spent all day with Hexagon just to find this out. Now if you put External Command without -END or -E it works which takes a while to record. You have to have Data Importer 5.0 gathering info and Datapage 5.0, and it will still show up in DataPage 5.2. Now it actually seems to work fine on my windows 7 computer, even though I have both Datapages installed, I do use the Data Importer 5.2 gathering the information, results no problem. So I'm kinda guessing this might be a Windows 10 thing. Now Stats update seems to work no problem.
One more thing to add, I'm sure Hexagon will get right on this and fix it
The thought never crossed my mind. I'll try downloading that.
Edit: Nope. No bueno. The installer tries to install CLM (x86) and fails because there is a newer version already installed. And that exits the setup. I will just wait and see if
Peter Fuller can recall how to fix it. And, also, I will check with IT and see if we have a Windows 7 machine laying around.
Tech support should still offer assistance on this topic. The support for new versions is just ended on the development side.
The other file that needs to be modified is DPDesktop.exe.config and it's in install directory for Datapage.
As far as the database update error I'm not familiar with that. My guess is that you might need to install an older version of datapage to step the update to a more recent database.
VinniUSMC You should be able to uninstall the x86 CLM without issue and pushing through with the Datapage install. PC-DMIS uses the CLM for x64 which you can leave in place. Datapage will reinstall the x86 version and will recognize the registry and trusted storage without an issue.
This forces SQL to use version 10 of sql types. But It's been about 3 years since I actually had to do it so I don't recall the actual info.
I manged to get all of this working. I uninstalled DP+ 5.2 and the CLM 1.5. Installed 5.0 and the CLM. Created a database, which worked. Then, reinstalled 5.2. It didn't work with the database that 5.0 created (needed update, but couldn't because of the column problem). So, I created a new database within 5.2. That gave the error which this code fixes.
However, now I am up to finding the dataimporter.exe.config file. It's not in my DataPage+ installation folder. Where is it? Or do I need to create it and put it in the DP+ 5.2 folder? Is that it?

From what I remember you have 2 treat each datapage like 2 separate programs. Here is the step by step that I helped from before maybe something in there will answer what you're looking for.
VinniUSMC Sorry I haven't been more help. This was a one off thing I fixed a few years ago and it was a bit ad-hoc. There is a global settings xml file in the public documents for datapage that might also need to have this put into it.
