I was trying to install genopro beta19g on my OLD laptop (Windows98).Wink

When I tried to generate a report (Default skin) I got an Error:

"Error at line 166 (init.htm): .......'oXmlDoc.setProperty'.......Microsoft VBscript 800A01B6"

The previous version that was installed in my laptop was beta16f, and everything worked just fine.

What am I doing wrong? Or is it a bug in the new beta?

The default skin uses the Microsoft XML parser for the custom tags:

CreateObject("Microsoft.XMLDOM")

It is possible the latest update used new methods from this parser which are not available under Windows 98.  I will ask Ron for more info.

Beraha, could you try creating a custom skin and change the line in Init.htm

CreateObject("Microsoft.XMLDOM")

to

CreateObject("msxml2.DomDocument")
and let me know if it works OK. If it does I'll build a check into the script to handle this in future.

Hi Ron

I made the change at init.htm

Now I get another error at line 59 (Init.htm) .....'cSession'.....Microsoft VBScript 800A000D

I reinstalled beta19g and made a report on that version but using an old version of a skin (16f). It worked fine. The problem is with the new version of the Skin.

That's strange, the error you get this time occurs earlier in the script than the one you had before. You quote an error with ..cSession.. , this should be Session, not cSession - could you check your edit. Your original error points to a problem with the version of the XML parser. I have changed the code for my next release to try all versions from the latest to the oldest. If you still get the error after this new code is released then perhaps you should install a later version of IE. I believe the version of MsXml in IE 4.0 onwards has support for XPath that is required by the script.

The IE version which installed on my very OLD laptop is: 5.00.2919.6307

Since this Laptop has only 32 MB of RAM memory. I can't upgrade its software if I still want this Laptop "To be alive"Tongue for some basics operations, such as for Genopro Wink

 Since Genopro Supports this configuration, I thought that the report generator should do the same.

Since I compared only between beta16f and beta19g, I can try to check on what version the problem have started.

Ron,

The problem starts at Beta18 (Beta18a)

Beta17i is OK.
