How do I connect? 

I know this is as dumb a question as might be asked: but why would my connect (and all other action buttons) be disabled?

I cannot connect, nor can I configure a connection (properties for a new document don't allow for specifing the host machine name, credentials, etc.).

The application starts up, and doesn't complain, so I assume I have .NET installed properly (this is an x64 Win7 PC).

What might cause this?  What am I doing wrong???

Re: How do I connect? 

 Hi,

maybe one or more configuration files are corrupt. That may happen when you install Windows Updates and reboot your machine while Royal TS is running. 

Try to delete the configuration files of Royal TS (it's recommended to backup the old files first).

Search for the following files in your user profile and rename/delete them:

code4ward.RoyalTS.ApplicationSettingsData.xml
code4ward.RoyalTS.RTSConnection.xml
code4ward.RoyalTS.TaskSettingsData.xml

cheers,
Stefan

Re: How do I connect? 

I found & deleted those files.  No love.

Any other ideas?

Is there some component for .net 4.0 that I should double check that I have installed?  Should I be running this as administrator, or is it UAC aware?

Re: How do I connect? 

 Can you download and try this version: http://www.code4ward.net/rtsbeta/rtsapp.zip

Extract it somewhere and start rtsapp.exe.

Re: How do I connect? 

I assume I must be being very dense. ;)

I have never used your software, and naively assumed that all I needed to do was to install & run it, choose 'new document', name it, and then connect (or that I'd be able to configure the target machine in the document itself).

However, even with the beta version you had me d/l, I find that the action buttons are all disabled. 

I installed this for the first time this morning.  My machine has not run Windows Updates, I've not installed anything else.  I normally use Windows remote desktop connect (.RDP) for connecting to my various machines on our LAN, but wanted to try out your software because RDC no longer stores credentials in the RDP files, so I can only store one set of creds for any given connection (I can't have two sets of credentials for our build server - one for the master build identity, and another for the master translator identity).

Is it possible I don'te have .NET 4.0 installed correctly?  I just downloaded  .NET framework 4.0. (full) - and my only options are to remove it or repair it.  I chose to leave it alone, as it seems clear that I have in fact installed it already probably with VS 2010.

Is there something one must normally do to get connect as an option?  Do you normally need a document to be present?  Where do you normally configure target machine & credentials for your software?  Is there a basic how-to or walk-through someplace?

I feel like I must be doing this bass-ackwards?

Thanks for your help.  I apologize if I'm being incredibly dense!

Re: How do I connect? 

 Basically you just need to open the application, create a new file (which shows the file property page where you can set optional encryption), create a new connection (a wizard will guide you through settings like display name, server name, credentials, etc.) after you created a connection you can select it and hit connect.

Is this the way you are trying to get forward?

cheers

Re: How do I connect? 

lol - thanks.

I was not pressing "insert" because I didn't think that meant "create a connection".

d'oh! ;)

Re: How do I connect? 

Excellent piece of work!

I'm liking what I see so far - it's really FAST!

I'll end up purchasing it in a few days if I find it really fits (which it looks like it's going to).

G/J :)
