From: John Corliss on 15 Dec 2009 17:19 The latest version of Eraser: http://eraser.heidi.ie requires dotnet 3.5 to be installed. This fact is *not* listed anywhere on the site AFAICT and I just wasted 20 minutes of my life dealing with a failed installation and removing all traces of the changes it imparted to my system. I reluctantly went with dotnet 2 when I installed my new Canon camera's software, but I'll be damned if I'll ever install the horribly bloated dotnet 3.5 runtime on my system. Your mileage may vary, but for me Eraser is effectively no longer being developed. Guess I'll install version 5.84 back on my system, or try the update to it (ver. 5.8.8) unless it requires dotnet 3.5 too. It would have been nice if the developers had mentioned somewhere on their website that Eraser now requires dotnet 3.5 to be installed. It would have saved me a lot of time. -- John Corliss BS206.

Guess you're supposed to read between the lines of this statement... http://eraser.heidi.ie/announcements/20091215.html "Retirement of Eraser 5 This release of Eraser brings about sad news for some - Eraser 5 support will end after the release of Eraser 6.0.7. Technically, since this Eraser build is the 6th release of the version 6 this is Eraser 6.0.6. Thus, the next release of Eraser will see the end of Eraser 5 support. This is mainly to ensure that critical bugs within Eraser 6 are fixed before Eraser 5 is retired. The reason for not supporting the old code is that the old code was not designed to run on the operating systems of today and functions do not work as expected. Eraser 6 was redesigned to ensure that it will match the coding standards and fit into the software ecosystem like any other "modern" application" Guess "coding standards","software ecosystem of modern applications" is jibber-jabber for: Start using Vista and Windows 7,we need to get rid of XP.

I tried to install 5.8.8 and it installed, but when I tried to run it I got the following error message (direct copy and paste): --------------------------- Setup --------------------------- Unable to execute file: C:\Program Files\Eraser\eraser.exe CreateProcess failed; code 14001. This application has failed to start because the application configuration is incorrect. Reinstalling the application may fix this problem. --------------------------- OK --------------------------- Guess I'll see if I can still get version 5.84 to run.

Before I learned they were mono-based, I trashed 'em. They're pretty clunky. Interestingly enough, Ubuntu looks to feature F-Spot for 10.04 and forward, while dropping GIMP. <shrug> Here's a list of mono apps: <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mono_%28software%29#Software_developed_with_Mono> -- -Craig |
