invalid registry entries

Karen Curnock — Wed, 29 Oct 2008 11:08:35 GMT

I'm running Visual Liturgy Live 5.0.3041.11329
Whenever I do a registry scan there are two registry entries which my registry cleaner tells me are invalid:

Open with Application Issue C:\Program Files\Visual Liturgy Live\VisualLiturgy4.exe %1 HKCR\Visual Liturgy Lectionary Plan\shell\open
Open with Application Issue C:\Program Files\Visual Liturgy Live\VisualLiturgy4.exe %1 HKCR\Visual Liturgy Service\shell\open

When I choose to repair them, the next time I start Visual Liturgy Live I receive an error message:
Error in custom action: Failed to set data for 'ConfigPath'

Visual Liturgy then launches okay, but the next time I do a scan of the registry I receive the same two re-created entries. This is not a problem, just an irritation. Is there anything I can do to resolve it?

Thanks

Upgrading to Visual Liturgy Live

Andrew Sweeney — Tue, 26 Jun 2007 13:58:30 GMT

A number of parishes and organisations have contacted Church House Publishing to ask about the procedure for installing a Visual Liturgy Live upgrade pack.

VL Live is designed to upgrade smoothly from Visual Liturgy 4, and if VL 4 is already installed on your chosen computer, you should encounter no difficulties. If you have un-installed VL 4, or, as often seems to be the case, bought a new computer and not installed VL4 on it, then you should re-install VL4 before you insert the CD from your Visual Liturgy Live upgrade pack.

Transferring VLL to a new computer

harpfixer — Mon, 29 Sep 2008 11:02:47 GMT

Hi!

I've just acquired a new computer, running Vista. I have managed to install and register VLL on it (outside Vista's Program Files folder) and all seems to be well. How do I get my Services, service plans, additional texts etc from one machine to t'other. Any advice/assistance would be gratefully received.

Many thanks,

God bless,

Stephen Jennings

Adding Methodist Module to VL Live

jscurrie — Thu, 11 Sep 2008 14:05:25 GMT

Hi,

I have just had to reinstall VL Live on a colleague's computer (under a Team Licence) and need to now reinstall the Methodist Module (from VisLit 2?).

How do I do this please.

Any help would be appreciated thanks. Rev John S Currie

Browse window

Karen Curnock — Thu, 28 Aug 2008 15:08:30 GMT

Whenever I use the browse command in VL the window opens off-centre to the left so that I always have to drag it to the right in order to start typing in the search box. It's one of those little irritants for which I wondered if there might be a fix. I'm using the recommended laptop screen resolution of 1680x1050. Any advice please?

Registering VL

Paul Dominiak — Wed, 13 Aug 2008 13:14:31 GMT

A reader in my parish bought VL and installed it succesfully on his computer. He then bought a license with my details so that I could install VL on my computer. VL installed fine, but I am unable to register because it brings up the message "your license number is not recognised," or something to that effect. Here is what I do when I try to register:

1. License: I enter my license code.
2. Other details: I enter as when we bought the license to use VL for me.

Do I need to enter the Reader's license number, tick the box about team subscription, and then enter my number?

Thanks,

Fr Paul

Upgrading to VL Live without a floppy drive

petera.hall@care4free.net — Fri, 22 Jun 2007 22:18:18 GMT

I have just purchased a Team Subscription to Visual Liturgy Live.
On attempting to install it on a lap-top, I came across a problem which you may not have thought about. Our original VL was 1.60 which was on floppy, with upgrades to 2.0, 3.0 and 4.0. My new lap-top does not have a floppy drive - I managed to get around it by sharing the floppy drive on my networked office computer and connecting across the wireless network. Considering that there may be others in out team who also do not have a floppy drive on their PC, could I copy the 1.60 files onto a USB memory stick and fool it that way??
I must also comment that when I registered my lap-top copy, I assumed that when it asked for Serial Number I put the CD code in, I ticked the Team Licence and left the next bit blank and it still accepted it. Have I just overwritten the database, or will it work out that this second registration with the same serial number was a team licence?[/p]

Vis Lit on Mac

cateirvine — Fri, 30 May 2008 20:14:45 GMT

Spent the day with the good lady vicar's new Macbook loading up VMwares Fusion, her old copy of XP, Visual Liturgy Live and OpenOffice (xp) so she can open in a WP and print out services as brochures really easily.

...and it works.

Though I have a request to make this sweet install complete; can someone post a pretty .png of 256X256 with transparent bits to sit on the Mac Dock. The windows icon is a little grainy and I want to [url=http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=304734]customise the dock[/url].

My thanks.

VL and Vista issue

ianrod — Wed, 21 May 2008 09:55:04 GMT

I've tried installing VL Live three times now and encounter the same issue with Vista. Namely, Vista reports that VL is not working correctly when it tries to open a service. Everything else seems OK -I can open the Calendar and use the Lectionary Planner, the Home display and menus work. However as it opens a service, the detail display looks alright but Vista puts up an error message - "Visual Liturgy 5 has stopped working - a problem caused the program to stop working correctly. Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available". The only option is to close the program.

I'm running Vista Ultimate 32bit on an AMD Phenom quad processor with 4Gb of ram, everything else runs well.

Registering the Product after re-installation on same computer

Father David — Wed, 23 Apr 2008 00:29:53 GMT

I have had to uninstal and reinstal my copy of VL. On reinstalling I came to the registration page, completed it, using the number originally given me to continue on from "9931...", pressed "Register Now" and was told that the license code does not match a valid license code on our records..." I presume I used the correct serial number: the one on the plastic cover of the CD. What do I do? Incidentally, there is not one email address I could find on the website for Church House Publishing: was I looking the all the wrong places?

(re-) installing vl live onto a new laptop, original code not accepted

Adrian — Tue, 18 Mar 2008 17:49:49 GMT

I do NOT have a team licence as I am a single user, however I should in the remit of my licence be able to use VL live on a 2nd machine. I have today installed VL live on my new laptop (prior to uninstalling it from my previous laptop) and my previous code will not register. I have read the other topics and leaving it blank doesn't work either. I have been very careful to enter the details of my registration exactly as they were before so it didn't think I was a new user. Please help!

Using VL Live on New Hard Disk

jamespitkin — Sat, 05 Jan 2008 15:25:38 GMT

Have had to install new hard disk on computer and VL Live is on new hard drive. However, when running VL Live the registration screen pops up (with details already completed). Click on register and error code (below) pops up in 'Key' field - existing password complies with guidance. Program runs fine (and can update too) but shows User as Unknown or Unregistered (rather than showing registration information).

Should I just ignore it and continue, or what?

Error: The password that you have entered is not secure. Please use a password of between 6 and 12 characters and incorporate at least one uppercase letter and one number to ensure that your password cannot be easily guessed.

Registration of VL Live

mikerhodes — Sun, 20 Jan 2008 20:30:27 GMT

Itried to register VL Live in the intial 60 days but was not successful. My vicar set up a username and password on my behalf but when I put these into the registration box the response is 'this username and password already allocated to another user'. What do I do now?

registering team copies

judithball — Thu, 03 Jan 2008 18:59:06 GMT

I have successfully registered my copy of VL Live, upgraded to a team subscription and set up two team users with their personal licence codes. In doing that I had to enter their personal information and give them a password which was 3 capital letters followed by 4 numbers. Their username name and password was accepted and can be used successfully on the website.

They successfully loaded the software from the CD but have problems registering it. On the registration page they have entered their username and password as described above, for serial nr they have included their personal licence nr, for Team serial nr they have included the shared serial nr from the original CD box, they have left the KEY blank. When they click register now it says the password is not valid.

I have tried changing the password and although it works on the website with their username it still doesn't work on the registration page.

What do we do now to register their copies?

Preview tabs and not Notes

Stephen Thorp — Mon, 24 Dec 2007 17:28:16 GMT

When opening any service in Visual Liturgy, is it possible for it to open the preview tab by default and NOT start with the notes tab. I find this very annoying when one just wants to get on with things quickly.

thanks.

Stephen

Problems following Epiphany 2008 Update

RobDeans — Fri, 23 Nov 2007 19:40:57 GMT

I downloaded the latest update and it appeared to install without problem.

However, VL5 will not now load and the following error message is given:

Could not load file or assembly 'System EnterpriseServices.Wrapper.dll' or one of its dependencies. The system cannot find the path specified.

There are more details under the More Info tab, which I could give if required.

I have tried completely uninstalling VL and reinstalling (both by just inserting the VL 4 disk for verification and also by first installing VL 4 and then VL5). However, despite the Installer reporting a successful installation in both cases on launching VL5 I get the same error message and VL5 will not load. And this is now before any subsequent updating.

This in on a Dell Inspiron 9100 3.2GHz 1MB RAM laptop with Windows XP Professional Service Pack 2.

Any ideas as to what is wrong and what to do?

Installing Visual Liturgy Live

Ann Beattie — Fri, 14 Dec 2007 22:35:50 GMT

I am unable to install Visual Liturgy live. I have Windows Me. Can you confirm that visual Liturgy can be used with Windows Me. I have tried updating Windows Me with patches and add-ons, and always get the message .netframework, but can not download this.

Using Sources

Linda — Mon, 10 Dec 2007 20:19:27 GMT

There is a huge list of hymns, songs and other material under sources. I cannot understand how to incorporate a hymn into my service. Please can someone give me the procedure. Thank you

Can't find DOTNETFX.EXE

Imogenl — Mon, 04 Jun 2007 09:46:39 GMT

Some users are reporting difficulties in installing VL Live Upgrade version. The usual error message is "Can't find DOTNETFX.EXE". The problem is that VL Live is trying to install Microsoft software components that VL Live needs in order to run but the VL Live installer can't find the file it needs.
Here are some instructions for how to deal with this error.

1. Open My Computer or Windows explorer and navigate in the left-hand side to the drive which is labelled 'VL LIVE Upgrade', (as in windowsexplorer.jpg attached). If you can't automatically see your screen divided as in the picture, click on 'Folders' to enable you to see the tree structure of files.

2. Using the mouse, click on the plus sign to open up the folders until you can see the folder called 'dotnetfx'. You should see 'dotnetfx' on the right.

3. Double click on the file and it will run and you will see some Microsoft software being installed.

4. Navigate back to the 'VL LIVE Upgrade' folder (as shown in the donetfx2.jpg attached) and double click on the 'setup' program on the right.

This will install VL Live correctly.

Error: This login name is already in use by a different user.

julian — Wed, 29 Aug 2007 14:23:22 GMT

Hi Tim

I'm receiving this error:

This login name is already in use by a different user.If you have registered using this login name before, please log in using the username and your original password. If this is your first registration, please choose another login name.

Have tried using your phone line on many occasions but to no avail. When I run VL Live, I get the registration splash screen and the message in the subject and the software tells me I am unregistered though your website confirms I am registered.

Please can you advise.

Many thanks

Julian

Installing VL live - getting the right code

Maddie Sumsion — Mon, 13 Aug 2007 16:10:44 GMT

I purchased a team licence and am now trying to install. My Rector provided me with CD's to load, but on trying, I find the VL 4.0 is an upgrade and I need a key to load this - and then of course to load Visual Liturgy live upgrade. I tried phoning the number provided but all I got was a automated voice providing me with a choice - and when selecting V L going through (apparently) to another number, hearing it ring several times, and then back to the automated voice. This happened several times. How can I get through to someone for advice? Then I have to try to load!

How to register Visual Liturgy Live

Imogenl — Fri, 17 Aug 2007 15:34:20 GMT

The best way to do this is by filling in the form in Visual Liturgy Live and registering over the internet. The form will normally pop up each time VLL is loaded if you are un-registered but you can access the registration form through the file menu in Visual Liturgy itself.

Please make sure:

1. You are filling in your Visual Liturgy Live serial number into the allocated field. The serial number can be found on the label attached to the CD envelope in the Visual Liturgy box and always begins VL50CW… Please do not enter your serial number for Visual Liturgy 4 as this will not be successful.
2. You are not filling in the key number field at the bottom of the screen. This will get filled in once the form has been submitted and registration has been successful.
3. Your password meets the guidelines for security; it should contain between 6 and 12 characters including at least one upper-case character, and one number.
4. You are regsitered before you try to set your team licence as you need your log in name and password to be able to log into the Visual Liturgy Live website. To find out how to upgrade to a team licence please read the previous blog entry ‘Setting up your team licences’.

Registration form bug

w0400 — Fri, 13 Jul 2007 10:18:58 GMT

If you install VLL and then fill-in the registration form and put in a password, and then print the form for posting, it very undesirably displays the password. But it also displays the password in the phone number box as well.

I think registering by post/fax should not have a password displayed, it should means that you are set one and it is faxed/e-mailed/sent back to you in some way.

Also at this stage, there is no way to tell the form that you may need to use a proxy to connect to the Internet if you want to register on-line. - so combined with the dotnetfx2 issues, not the most wonderful installation experience I have ever had.

John.

Re-installing VL Live to a new computer

m.amphlett — Sat, 21 Jul 2007 16:41:31 GMT

I have a team licence and am reinstalling VL live to a new laptop. On trying to register online the prefix before the "key" field on the registration form is different to when I registered on my original computer (5946 instead of 9272). When I enter my original key I get "Error: The license code that you have supplied does not match a valid license code on our records. Please recheck the code that you have entered." Help please.:crying:

Additional Collect

chrisbromley — Fri, 13 Jul 2007 15:58:43 GMT

I feel daft but I cannot work out how to make the default text for a Collect to be the Additional Collect for that week where available. I know about Service Item properties but don't know what exactly should go on that page for the Collect.

At present for every service I change the default collect to the Additional Collect via the browser.

Thanks Chris Bromley

Connecting to VL Live

davepole — Thu, 05 Jul 2007 14:50:13 GMT

It's been a fiddle but I finally persuaded the registration page to accept a password so I am now registered. Next problem is that I don't seem to be able to link back to base from the toolbar. When I click on help/visual liturgy on line I get an error mesage "application not found". Clearly I'm online if I can register at all - and I'm sending this mesage so where's the missing application??

Team license registration

Rosie Bowers — Wed, 11 Jul 2007 15:16:49 GMT

I've registered my VL Live and thought it would be good if my Pastoral Worker also had VL on his computer so I paid for a Team license and registered his details/ password etc. He has put the software on his machine but has found it impossible to register. He keep getting an error message saying The licence code that you have supplied does not match a valid licence code on our records. I have checked and he is putting the right numbers in the right boxes. I've checked my subscription and although I've paid the fee it tells me I have no team licences. What's gone wrong?

Updates

tpc — Thu, 21 Jun 2007 08:48:09 GMT

Is there any way to receive updates other than through the web with a computer with VL Live loaded on to it? I am on a dial up connection at home and the download for the first update will take forever!

Team licences paid by direct debit or invoice

parishofstnicholas — Tue, 26 Jun 2007 12:55:44 GMT

I have purchased and registered a single copy of Visual Liturgy Live.

Our parish would like to set up a team licence but the office does not have a credit / debit card. Can we pay by cheque or by annual direct debit? How do we do this please?

:blush: (I added this post on 25/6/07 but mistakenly posted it in the 'News' forum. I am now moving it here. Apologies for any confusion caused.)

CD needed to run VL after installation?

pafarthing — Tue, 05 Jun 2007 10:50:40 GMT

I installed VL yesterday without problem, but when I started it up today I was prompted to put the CD in the drive with the message that "the feature I required needed the CD".

Are all the files not copied to my hard drive at installation? And will VL always require the CD to run? This could be a nuisance when away from home.

A couple of small worries

harpfixer — Sun, 03 Jun 2007 00:05:31 GMT

Are that:

a) the installation etc have gone swimmingly to date BUT I still seem to have a fully functioning copy of VL4 on my machine, which must mean it didn't get over-written during the VLLive install. Can I simply uninstall it or will that mean that I lose my varied and assorted collection of additional texts in the process?

b) having created various collects etc for Vigil Services, how do I get them to come up in the browser as options for next year's variation, without having to search for an item name that I will almost certainly have forgotten by then?

Keep up the good work!

Stephen Jennings
