Andrew, if you're looking at the Windows installer... :-) CC some others for good measure. Marc, can you verify this bug for me? Seems awfully strange. Note there's a file "Microsoft.VisualBasic.dll.lnk" in .../lib/mono/2.0/, it needs to be a real (copy) of that file. Is the install builder utility being much too smart and installing shortcut link files, eeeeh!? Oh, and I'll try a install on a second machine here, just in case something went odd on the first. Wow, great find Andy. I confirmed that this is indeed a problem in Mono 2.4p1 and 2.4p2. Also, I confirmed that this was _not_ a problem in Mono 2.2. And I have absolutely no idea what may have changed to cause this. Thomas, are you seeing what he's seeing? That there are .lnk files instead of real copies? That sounds like maybe cygwin is getting smart on us but I have not updated cygwin since before 2.2. I have heard that it treats symlinks as .lnk files in some situations. I hate cygwin so much! Maybe something in mono-basic changed? Is VB good in the Linux 2.4 install?
Also, the auto-magic creation of .lnk file is apparently _not_ new, see the dir below. It's appearance here is probably just a side effect of the change, so maybe this case will go away once the original issue is fixed.

To run vbnc in Mono 2.4, you can:
1. cd "\Program Files\Mono-2.4\usr\lib\mono\2.0"
2. run vbnc
The place where the bat file is supposed to be is here (but it's not):
C:\PROGRA~1\Mono-2.4\bin
On Mono 2.4:

setting as not needinfo as I provided the info in the above comments. vbnc stuff fixed The other stuff you noted is all expected. vbnc works in mono-2.4-gtksharp-2.12.8-win32-3.exe (at least for a trivial program). marking verified because of comment 11. |
Created attachment 267937 [details] Diff showing adds and removes in 2.4 against 2.0 installation User-Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 7.0; Windows NT 5.1; .NET CLR 2.0.50727; .NET CLR 1.1.4322; .NET CLR 3.0.04506.30; .NET CLR 3.0.04506.648; .NET CLR 3.5.21022) Running vbnc in a 2.4 Mono Windows installation fails ("'vbnc' is not recognized as an internal or external command, ..."). Comparing the 2.4 and 2.0 installation shows that (most!) of the VBNC/vbrt files are in a subdirectory called "usr". Presumably they should be installed at one level down. The "vbnc.bat" file is missing entirely however. I haven't a 2.2 installation... * The full set of files that I see missing are below. I've made some annotations. I don't know how many of the diffs are intentional. * Also, some ".lnk" files are present in the 2.4 installation. Seems odd… * Finally there's also an extra directory "src" at the root of the installation. * I've attached the diff showing all adds and removes. Files missing in 2.4 relative to 2.0.
