KiXforms Designer .NET is now available as an independent install.
Its purpose is to help teach and design forms using KiXforms.NET. As an Alpha it is still under development.

KiXforms Designer .NET Build 1.0.43.0

KiXforms Designer .NET does not include KiXfoms.NET, it must be installed before installing KFD.

KiXforms.NET (Alpha) Development Build

Included in the KiXforms Designer .NET.msi (found in the install directory "C:\Program Files\KiXforms Designer .NET\")
Base64.exe
KFDHelp.chm
Sample Scripts

A shortcut to KiXforms Designer .NET is created under the StartMenu 'Programs > KiXforms Designer .NET'

Hi, thx for the KiXforms.net, I love using it

However I found a bug in the new version installer
The previous version required that the Dot Net framework was installed while the new version doesn't and even installs without it, off course KixForms.Net doesn't work after it is installed. Just thought you should know.

Just want to get this straight ...

There are two installers now - one is called kixforms.msi and that installs Kixforms.Net ... the other is called Kixforms Designer .Net.msi, and that installs Kixforms Designer .NET

Kixforms.NET should not install if .NET isn't on your machine - because it uses part of the .NET framework to install iself. Kixforms Designer .NET doesn't have any hard dependencies (that I know of, Benny?) and prolly will install whether .NET is on the workstation or not.

So is it the Designer that your referring to ?

kixforms designer .net does require kixforms .net to be installed to work and thus requires .net framework also.
it should install without either one though.
it just won't start.

Yes I am referring to KixForms Designer.Net, the previous msi version gave a notice that .Net framwork was not installed and asked me if I wanted to install that. The current version does not. Either way, I didn't wanna start a panic Just thought I should mention it.

not sure if it qualifies as bug if the installer doesn't mourn about it.

Found a second bug, another installation bug. Once FixForms.Net is installed and you've rebooted and logged in as a different user and then later on change back, your scripts won't run. The error says "KixForms.Net Not Initiated. This Script Will Now Close" you have to repair the installation and then once you run the first KixForms.net based script you'll see the whole installer again and then it works again.

Btw, shouln't u make it into Visual Kix 2005 ?

If you ever consider to do this, Shawn, I would vote against.
Software names containing Years always seemed to be a bad idea to me ... Let's see ... Windows 2003 ... doesn't that sound a bit out of date today ?

Kixforms is the name we are all used to since around ... was it 2001 ?
Don't change it.

Isn't that the point? If its a couple of years out of date then you'll want to buy an upgrade to the latest and greatest.

Well I didn't mean it as a name reference it's just that I thought since kix has evolved so much as a scripting language thanks to the UDF's and KixForms with kixforms.net it should be evolved as a "Semi" programming language. Just like VB is to vbs.

NO
There was a guy that came around here trying to peddle a poor man's ScriptLogic Point'n'Shoot "Visual KiX", so that name kinda got squandered already.

I never intended this post to be a discussion of KFD, It was meant to be notification of changes/fixes, and its not Shawn you should be asking to change the name.

this is not a bug in kfd, nor is it a bug in kf.net. it has to do with the choice during installation of kf.net. you have the choice to install kf.net for the current user or all users. you received this message because you installed for the current user. you must install for all users or you will receive that error. if you do receive an error then it is a discussion for a another thread.

Sorry.. what can I say... skimmed and got sucked into the vortex.
I thought the suggestion was to rename KFD to "Visual"

I never ment to start this discussion, I merely suggested to integrate KixForms.Net en Kix itself into a programming language which could be compiled and everything. I only gave a name to it to give an idea of what I was talking about. Nevertheless I never addressed anyone in particular.

Besides that I've made the mistake of posting the bug of KixForms.Net (installed for all users) in the wrong topic for which I offer my apologies.
