I had to uninstall my sharepoint services web site and reinstall it, I then installed the r.a.d. editor which went fine in the command prompt.

I then went add the web part in the Virtual Server Gallery where the web part is and it says "untitled" instead of "R.A.D. Editor", so I attempt to drag and drop the untitled webpart to a pane, and nothing happened. 

What would this indicate that i did wrong in the reinstallation?

Thanks,

Austin

Hello Austin,

You are the first to report such an issue. Could you please check the existence of the following file:
c:\inetpub\wwwroot\wpcatalog\RadWebParts_2.0.1.0__1f131a624888eeed_RadEditorWebPart.dwp? If it exists, could you please send its contents in this forum thread? Do you deploy in GAC or the bin folder?
You can also try reinstalling the webpart by specifying the "-force" option.

Let us know how it went,

Albert

Yeah, I deployed it to the BIN and used -force option and verified the location of the RadWebParts_2.0.1.0__1f131a624888eeed_RadEditorWebPart.dwp file being in place.

I am going to try and re-download my trial license file and see if that will make it work.

THX,
Austin

Hi Austin,

Actually, you cannot copy and paste into the forums and you will need to open a new support ticket and either zip and attach the screenshot or files or you can send us a link to where we can observe this behaviour.  
Could you also try enabling the error logging for your SharePoint site? Maybe it would reveal a more useful error details. To do it, you need to open the web.config of your site (by default c:\wwwroot\inetput\web.config) and change the following lines:

From:
<SafeMode MaxControls="50" CallStack="false" />

<customErrors mode="On" />
To:
<SafeMode MaxControls="50" CallStack="true" />
<customErrors mode="Off" />

Save the web.config and run iisreset to apply the changes. Then you could try adding the webpart again and send us the error details.

A side note - could it be the trust level? Have you changed it to full or applied a custom policy file? You can also try deploying in GAC.

I appologize for not being able to help you right away.

Expecting your reply,
Albert

OK Here's the error:
"The file you imported is not valid. Verify that the file is a Web Part description file (.dwp) and that it contains well-formed XML."

In the mean time, I will try and redeploy via GAC method.

Thanks,

Austin

Hello Austin,

Could you send us the contents of RadWebParts_2.0.1.0__1f131a624888eeed_RadEditorWebPart.dwp? From the error message I assume there is a problem in it.

Did installing in the GAC help at all?

Kind regards,
Albert

No, installing GAC did not help.  What email address can i send the contents of .dwp file to?

OK, I got the fix!  Something must have happened to the file RadWebParts.cab after I had already installed it.

I don't know if something is done to the .cab file that is specific to a sharepoint installation, and common sense tells me that i could reuse the same file that i originally downloaded.

While I was waiting I totally ripped out all the r.a.d. related files as well as sharepoint.  Did a fresh reinstallation of sharepoint, and downloaded r.a.d. again.  Reinstalled and it worked, i just hope my licencse will work for the remainder of the trial period.

Thanks for all your help!

Austin
