After installing OpenAccess I popped open Visual Studio to receive the following message:

The add-in 'Telerik OpenAccess' failed to load or caused an exception.

The error message is "Unspecified Error" and the number is 80004005 (which is typically access denied).  Any thoughts?

Thanks,
Colin

Hello colinbo,
There is a chapter in the programmer's guide about checking the correct installation of the addin. Can you pls. look into that and check if esp. the addin file has the right content?

Hi Jan,

I checked the troubleshooting guide and the missing piece appears to be the registry entry.  I should note I am running Visual Studio 2008 on Windows Vista x64.  I can try re-installing it, but I suspect it will result in the same given that it was a fresh install in the first place.  What should be in the registry?

Thanks,
Colin

Hello colinbo,
Can you nevertheless pls. uninstall OpenAccess completely, delete the installation folder and install it again?

The important registry entry is the addin load path: Inside VS go to Tools->Options->Environment->Add in/Macro Security and see if there is the path of the addin file in the list. If not just add it.

The other thing is a regasm call with the Telerik.OpenAccess.SDK.Addin dll:
regasm /codebase /register Telerik.OpenAccess.SDK.AddIn.dll

I had this same problem in Windows 7 x64.  I had to replace __ASSEMBLY__ with the full path (e.g. C:\Program Files (x86)\Telerik\OpenAccess ORM\sdk\Telerik.OpenAccess.SDK.AddIn.dll)

I also had a problem with the add-in failing to load on Windows 7 x64 with Visual Studio 2008.  I used mthird's method suggestion and was able to get the add-in to load.

Hi Jason,
We are signing our installers currently, and elevated the rights for some of the actions performed by the installer. We believe that the Q1 2009 release will allow installation without any problems.

I had a similar issue when I installed Q1 release on Windows 7 (x64).  the install ran without errors but I got an error when loading visual studio 2008 sp1 (stating that the addin failed to load).  I uninstalled and then reinstalled from an elevated privilage command window (right clicked your cmd.exe shortcut, and selected "Run as Administrator" i then ran the msi from that elevated command window, and the install went flawlessly.  after that I was able to run visual studio and the open access addin loaded correctly.

FYI I do this now with most of the installs of software that is even moderatly ciomplex, I remember the early days of Vista where you pretty much always had to do this on every install.  Most products work without having to do this, but it's a good thing to try if you feel the product hasn't installed perfectly the first time.

The same technique of running Setup.exe from a command prompt in Administrator mode also seems to be required for Windows Server 2008 and for Windows Server 2008 R2.  Telerik ORM version: 2009.01.0405.1

Hi Joel,
The setup.exe knows that it has to run in admin mode. You should see a UAC if you start it. If you start the msi directly in some circumstances it does not seem to elevated the user rights.

It is recommended to start setup.exe. It is able to do an update of the existing installation, this will not be done if you use the msi.

I have tried uninstalling/reinstalling I could not get it to work. I uninstalled visual studio 2010 Beta 2 thinking there might be a conflict with Open Access. Now I can not uninstall OpenAccess. I even tried removing it manually after several uninstall failures and still no go. Open Access is not installed but the installer thinks it is. How do I manually uninstall OpenAcces ORM so I can try again to get this installed?
Windows 7 x64, Visual Studio 2008 SP1

I deleted a bunch of registry entries then remembered revo uninstaller
My Registry deletes and Revo did the trick. I can now install OpenAccess again.

But now when I install OpenAccess I am back to the beginning. I dont get error messages. It shows up on the VS splash screen but there is no menu option under Telerik for OpenAccess. Also there is no AddIn in the AddinManager. I checked the Registry but my registry is different than the on described in the Trouble shooting docs.
The Key shows up under 9.0 not 90
and in the CurrentUser not the LocalMachine

I tried the suggestions about regasm and the Addin path and that did not work
I will try the setup.exe from an elevated cmd and report back

Hi TWT,
Can you please use the tool Telerik.OpenAccess.AddinInstaller.exe from the sdk directory of our OpenAccess installation. You should click uninstall/install. If that does not work please send me the content of the log window of the tool after doing uninstall/install.

Hello TWT,
I have found the problem, the AddinInstaller registers the package with a wrong version  number. Can you please  change the version in the registry by hand or generate one of the two regfiles and execute them:

Change the package registry key by hand:
Regfile content for 32 bit machines:

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\VisualStudio\8.0\Packages\{d4f5086c-54b9-4b07-bd22-af72d5b9228f}]
@="Telerik.CommonPackage.Telerik_CommonPackagePackage, Telerik.CommonPackage, Version=1.0.5.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=d63abc9583eb6f32"

Regfile content for 64 bit machines:

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\VisualStudio\8.0\Packages\{d4f5086c-54b9-4b07-bd22-af72d5b9228f}]
@="Telerik.CommonPackage.Telerik_CommonPackagePackage, Telerik.CommonPackage, Version=1.0.5.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=d63abc9583eb6f32"

"C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0\Common7\IDE\PrivateAssemblies\Telerik.CommonPackage.dll"
it was C:\Program Files...\telerik\sdk\...
Now I dont get any errors
