Corrupted database

harpfixer — Mon, 24 Oct 2011 20:07:30 GMT

Hi Tim, and all other experts out there - having got VL reinstalled and running, I still seem to have a problem with my original database, in that it didn't close properly during the last disk meltdown - I'm keen to see if anything is recoverable, but MS Access keeps wanting a password, and VL thinks it's still in use - could you please let me have a password that will allow me to see if I can rebuild some 10 years worth of service templates outside VL? At my own risk (not a lot to lose now :-( ) Obviously you'll need to contact me off-list for this, which I trust will be OK. God bless, Stephen

VL has suddenly stopped working!

Perivalechurch — Sat, 14 Jan 2012 10:34:00 GMT

I have been using VL for a few years and VL live for nearly a year. It has been working fine until yesterday I got this message:
Access to the path C\program data\Vis Lit 5\vlsettings.xml is denied.
Can anyone help me with this please?

Need to get VL5 on to a recovered harddrive

harpfixer — Wed, 14 Sep 2011 16:32:03 GMT

Hi Tim et al - Historically, I've run VL5 from an external hard drive. Said drive fried itself (whilst closing VL5), and while as much data as possible has been recovered, VL refuses to reinstall, either from v4 or 5 - 4 claims fatal errors - VL5 tells me there's a more recent version installed - I don't want to lose my database - what to do?

God bless,

Stephen

Link for update archive and installation not working

Chris Turner — Sat, 04 Jun 2011 09:22:50 GMT

The links to the update archive:
http://www.onlyonline.co.uk/Updates/vl5update1m.zip

and to the re-installation:
http://www.onlyonline.co.uk/uploader/welcome.aspx

do not appear to be working. Just get an error stating "Bad Request (Invalid Hostname)".

Being able to run re-installs from a download instead of having to find the CD is useful so would be grat is these links can be fixed.

Thanks

Chris Turner

Transfer of Single User Registration

efrance — Mon, 25 Jul 2011 14:57:54 GMT

I have a single user copy of VLL. I am leaving my present church and taking my computer. Since the PCC pays for VLL I think I should leave it for the church to use and there is a member of the congregation who wants to learn. Can I transfer the licence to a new user? If so, how?

No Save/Cancel/Help Visible in View Text

StBartholomews — Wed, 01 Jun 2011 14:30:55 GMT

After making alterations in the 'View Text' mode the Save/Cancel/Help buttons are intermittently not availble which necessitates a complete shut down and restart of VL thereby losing any changes made.

I seem to recollect that this happened many years ago with my VL3 and reuired altering something in the Registry but I am unable to trace the relevant email.

Installing VL Live on another computer (team licence) without the original install CD

helpdesk@lmh.ox.ac.uk — Fri, 04 Mar 2011 12:48:20 GMT

Dear Support,

I have a team licence and have recently upgraded our main user. I'm now trying to install from the only copy of the software that we have, which is an "upgrade version". What do I do please?

Loading VisLit after hard drive has been replaced

Rosemary — Fri, 21 Jan 2011 15:22:18 GMT

We have just had the hard drive repalced on our computer.

I have the original disk for Vis Lit Live but get the error message about “can’t find Dotnetfx.exe.

”I have seen the method for overcoming this but that only applies if VisLit is already installed. I feel as if I am going round in circles.How do I get the CD to start up and overcome the error message please.

Serial Number/License Code - 'Not accepted'.

M.P. Spurgeon — Thu, 20 Jan 2011 12:25:06 GMT

Thank you for the reply to my enquiry of yesterday with regard to registering my Vis Lit software.

No matter how many times I type the serial number (license code) into the registration form I am still receiving the message that it is not valid.

Please advise me how to proceed.

p.s. It would be helpful if a single name could be given to a specific code instead of 'Serial Number' and 'License Code' apparently meaning the same thing.

Registering Visual Liturgy

M.P. Spurgeon — Wed, 19 Jan 2011 13:46:48 GMT

I have tried several times to install Visual Liturgy Live and each time the request to register has shown I have not filled in the details as required.

The box at the bottom of the form then shows "Error: The license code that you have supplied does not match a valid license code on or records. Please recheck the code that you have entered."

Can you please advise what this means since I do not have a 'license code' or any further appropriate information to complete the registration?

No Lectionary Readings

In trying to download my service for tomorrow the readings are not available in full, merely what they are.

Glitch in lectionary

priscillawhite — Wed, 05 Jan 2011 09:14:10 GMT

The lectionary seems to be set wrong at least for eucharistic readings for today and yesterday as what comes out of visual liturgy is not the same as the printed lectionary, when creating a service for today's midweek service it gave me yesterday's readings. On checking things seem right again fro Friday

Installation problem with Windows 7 64bit

goodingip — Wed, 01 Sep 2010 22:54:26 GMT

Help! My copy of Visual Liturgy has been running fine for over a year on my Windows 7 Pro 64 bit system. Now it won't start, or reinstall, claiming that the MSJET40 DLL is not suitable for running on the computer. A bit of probing reveals that there isn't a 64 bit version of the MSJET driver used to get to the Access database which underlies Visual Liturgy. However, the WOW emulator should stand in the gap and provide a 32 bit environment for running this DLL. Presumably it's been doing it's job for the past year, as I've only installed MS updates as far as I know. There have been some recent Microsoft updates in that area, but it's not all clear why it's suddenly stopped working. Has anyone else seen this problem, or is it something peculiar to my installation? I'm running Office Pro 2010 and have a lot of other software including MS Expression, Adobe CS4, Logos on this computer, so I am not at all keen to reinstall everything!

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’.

Book of Common Prayer

mriches — Fri, 17 Sep 2010 11:54:14 GMT

Having had VL from its inception I already have the Book of Common Prayer as a part of VLL on my computer.

Should I now download the update that adds BCP to VLL?

Will the update "upset" any of the templates I currently have based on the BCP?

Thanks,
Malcolm

Daily Readings List

Scete — Sat, 04 Sep 2010 23:37:28 GMT

With the new daily readings now available in VL. I wonder if there is way of making a list of each days readings. I produce a monthly list of readings for Morning Prayer for members of our church who meet for Morning Prayer each day. At present I type them out is there a way to generate this list in VL?

Installing on Team Members Computers

Bishops Hatfield — Sun, 30 May 2010 12:22:09 GMT

One of our team is having difficulty installing VL Live on her computer. I set up a Licence for her and generated the relevant codes, but these were not recognised by VL when she tried to register on installing the program. To try to fix the problem I decided to revoke her licence in order to re-enter the information in the hopes that she would then get a new number that would work, however, I am unable to enter the same details again as it says that the username and password is being used by another user. I am now unable to un-revoke the revocation! Can anyone help please?

Isssues installing new modiiules

w0400 — Sun, 25 Apr 2010 15:24:36 GMT

I have just renewed an expired subscription (expired Dec 2009 renewed April 2010). I then ran an update which wanted to load two new updates, the calender and Times and Seasons.

After it all completed, I got a popup box informing me of some problems.

The file was:
[i]C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Visual Liturgy 5\importlog.txt[/i]

The contents were:
[i]Source table: rlc Dest table: rlc
Error importing: Could not update; currently locked.[/i]

The simple question is "Do I need to take any action?" VL Live restarted Ok with no warnings, when I shut it down and restarted and there were no outstanding up[dates.[/color]

Installing VL Live

chrisbromley — Thu, 15 Apr 2010 13:09:51 GMT

We wish to install VL Live on to our new church PC (Windows 7) and to the PC of one Reader.

We have had VL since the Worshipmaster days. All our CD Rom are upgrade versions ( VL 3.0, VL 4.0 and VL Live).

I seem to rermember that last time I installed VL Live on a new PC, I had to go right back to an original floppy disk for VL 1.5. Is this right? If so, how do I get around the problem as the PCs I now use and the intended ones do not have a floppy disk drive.

I have been asked to go and install VL Live on the Reader's PC and I would like to know exactly what I have to do before I get there! I have already created a new team licence for the Reader.

Thanks

Chris Bromley

I'm trying to reinstall VL live on a different computer and can't export

Moving VL Live to Windows 7

rileyhome — Fri, 30 Oct 2009 09:51:17 GMT

Hi,

I would like to move my VL live software to a new Windows 7 PC. Will the software run on Windows 7?

As I previously upgraded from VL4 I have an upgrade version of the software CD. Does this mean I will need to install my old version of VL4 on the new PC before I can install my copy of VL Live and, if so, is this likely to cause any problems with Windows 7?

Many thanks,

Helen

Visual Liturgy Shortcut Icons

Raymond Hemingray — Mon, 02 Nov 2009 12:08:40 GMT

I like to keep a clear desktop, with folders containing programs grouped by type, such as Utilities, Media, etc. I find it a great annoyance that every time I use VL, it creates icons on my desktop, even though I have moved copies of them to a folder. Is there any way of turning off this persistent creation of desktop icons?

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.

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.
