Clarion 10 Manager
Hi Friedrich,
When I run it, it tells me that C10 is not registered and that the
serial number is not verified.
WHAT does it do to find that information? My serial number IS verified
(I re-registered it just now, no change) and all the registry settings I
can find point to the correct C10 folder.
But it causes ClarionCL.exe to fail when called to export a dct for
example and I think it may also fail registering templates.
Can you point me to what your program is checking for so I can try to
fix it?
Best regards,

Re: Clarion 10 Manager
Hi Arnor,
Can you post the command you are running to call ClarionCL?
And which folder do you have Clarion installed in?

Arnor,
Do you use /ConfigDir in your C10 shortcut?

Hi Lee,

Indeed, but I would still like to know WHAT it is looking for. My
_guess_ is that it's looking for
c:\Users\<UserName>\AppData\Roaming\SoftVelocity\C larion\10.0\ClarionProperties.xml,
which on my computer does not exist as I MOVED the flippin' folder into
the C10/bin folder;)
Perhaps, rather than stating that it's not registered, it could show
that this file doesn't exist in the expected folder and suggest checking
if C10 is being run with the /ConfigDir command line.
I WISH SV made the IDE so that using command line parameters with it
didn't BREAK other tools!!!!

A while back I strongly suggested that if /ConfigDir was sensed in the
command line when loading the IDE that the IDE should write the damn
thing to the registry and that should be referenced by ClarionCL
whenever it was run.
If the user decided to quit using /ConfigDir then the next time the
IDE was loaded the registry would be updated to use the new path. It's
not exactly brain surgery!<g>
A fix that would work for everyone, developer and 3rd party.
While I breathe I hope!<g>

Command line and paths were 100% correct, except it was missinbg one
rather important thing: /ConfigDir!

That should do it. It's a PITA.

Re: Clarion 10 Manager
Hi Arnor,
>> Do you use /ConfigDir in your C10 shortcut?
The "Clarion 10 Manager" utility makes use of the "If System does have
Clarion 10" Statement. This function returns "1" in the variable
%_SB_RETURNEX% if the Clarion 7.x, 8.x, 9.x or 10 IDE is "initialized"
(registered).
The installer runtime checks the "ClarionProperties.xml" located in the
default AppData folder to verify the registration status (you can use this
option in template registration setups to avoid a GPF when you try to
register a TPL and the IDE is not registered).
The built-in %_SB_CONFIGDIR% runtime variable lets you define the location
of the configuration directory for Clarion 10. So if you run "Clarion 10
Manager" from the command line and pass the location of your configuration
directory to the utility then it should report "REGISTERED" in your case.

If I may, I would suggest that:
IF you do NOT find the ClarionProperties.xml in the default %appdata%
folder AND /ConfigDir is NOT specified when running the Clarion 10
manager, that you pop up a message stating that the program cannot
locate the ClarionProperties.xml and suggest checking if you are using
/ConfigDir when running the Clarion 10 IDE:) I.e.
IF NOT EXISTS(ClarionPropertiesXMLPath)
!! The ClarionProperties.xml path is NOT where expected
ELSE
!! Check for registration
END
I had *completely* forgotten that I was using /ConfigDir on my C10
shortcuts because I use 3 different C10 installs. Note that I'm *only*
talking about the Clarion 10 Manager. In this situation it gave me
incorrect information because it didn't find the ClarionProperties.xml
and told me C10 wasn't registered.
Best regards,
