Forms deploy issue: PS1 file is working, EXE file does not

Post by RheinsteinIT »

I experience an issue between a deployed forms script and the same script undeployed (using the "Export to File" function).
I can start both forms in the test enviroment, but only the functions of the ps1-file version work fine.

I tryed different settings of the Deploy-Packager-Settings w/o solution.
Do you have any idea what I am doing wrong?

I am using a licensed version of PowerShell Studio 2015, Version & Build: 4.2.95 64bit developing on a Windows 8.1 Pro x64 machine.
I test the scripts in an Windows 7 Enterprise x64 enviroment.

The first step is to determine what "works fine" versus not working means. Does the packaged exe not start at all? Do you get any error message? You say you tried different settings, but which?

If you develop and run the script on an 8.1 machine and then try to run it on a Windows 7 machine, do you also copy the .config file? Do you have the same runtimes and powershell versions on both machines?

The packaged exe starts but in the Query GUI there is no reaction on clicked buttons etc. The generated CSV file is empty, the Out-Gridview-Button does not work and the "clipboard" buttons leaves the clipboard content unchanged.
The ps1 version works as designed.

I tried to deploy the exe with all settings "SAPIEN Powershell V2 Host (Windows Forms)" and V3 Host. I tried Win32 and x64, with and w/o STA-Mode.

The PS Version on my developers notebook is 4.0 (Win8.1 Pro64). The test machines have PS Version 3.0 (Win7 Enterprise64).

How do I compare the required runtimes?

Thank you for your support :)

Out-Gridview doesn't work in V2 if there is a later version of PowerShell installed on the same machine.

The clipboard operations require STA mode otherwise it will fail.
