Toolbox Email GeneralFailure
Initially when I installed and setup Toolbox the email component worked fine, but I think I updated the .NET Framework to V4 and now it doesn't at all.
If I try to test the email it simply comes up with a box that says GeneralFailure.

Re: Toolbox Email GeneralFailure
Sorry for the delay in replying -- I have been away for most of the week
I'm not familiar with the .NET 4 framework, and it has only just been released. I see from the website that......
"The .NET Framework 4 works side by side with older Framework versions. Applications that are based on earlier versions of the Framework will continue to run on the version targeted by default."
Hmmm....maybe not
I will try and look into it over the weekend. Toolbox uses .NET 2.0 framework so I assume this is still installed?

Re: Toolbox Email GeneralFailure
I have .Net framework 4.0 installed, and the toolbox email works OK for me.

Re: Toolbox Email GeneralFailure
Still can't get the emails to work, uninstalling and reinstalling make no difference. Uninstalling doesn't remove the settings and data from the previous install of toolbox either, is there a way to do a fresh reinstall of the program that doesn't keep the settings from last time I used it?

Re: Toolbox Email GeneralFailure
There is a registry key with all the settings -- Search for CumulusToolbox or find it under HKEY_CURRENT_USER. Delete the CumulusToolbox KeySUBYDAZZ wrote:Still can't get the emails to work, uninstalling and reinstalling make no difference.

There are also four files in your Cumulus folder, all starting CumulusToolbox; delete them

Re: Toolbox Email GeneralFailure
I could only find 3 files in my Cumulus Folder. I did find another three in C:/Windows/Prefetch though? Perhaps they are unrelated?

Re: Toolbox Email GeneralFailure
The Prefetch folder is nothing I have control over -- it is a caching system for Windows and controller by the operating system.
Make sure you are on the latest version of Toolbox if re-installing -- http://wiki.sandaysoft.com/a/Toolbox

Re: Toolbox Email GeneralFailure
OK, still after all the steps above I reinstall it to get the same error. I can't understand why, when I very first installed it several weeks ago, the email function worked fine.
Any other ideas? Is there any updated versions being released soon?

Re: Toolbox Email GeneralFailure
Can you send me your Toolbox settings please?
They are stored in the Windows Registry (stupid mistake on my point. I should have stored them in a file).
Click Start, Run and type CMD.
Click Ok/Run
In the black box type: regedit /e settings.txt hkey_curret_user\Cumulustoolbox
Press Return
Type exit and press return to close down the black window
This will save all the CumulusToolbox settings into a file called settings.txt. Feel free to open it in notepad and read it -- there is nothing sensitive in it other than your email address (there would be your server password but you are using the default server so no passwords are in it).
Can you send me this file please -- either as a private message on here or to my email address (Click About in Toolbox for my email address). This should also show you are using Build 45.
thanks

Re: Toolbox Email GeneralFailure
Where do I find the settings.txt file once it's been created?
Good news to share is that I decided not to use the default email server, and it now works, but if I change it back to the default I get the same error again?
Bad news is that now I get a different error when running toolbox...
