Some Common SoftGrid Errors

One of the questions I always seem to get from people new to the SoftGrid product is “Hey J.C., I’m new to this whole SoftGrid thing, so what are some of the errors I might run into once I roll this out?” Well, that’s a great question, and an easy one to answer too because I can simply take a peek under the covers of our Knowledge Base and see what errors get searched on the most. Not only can this kind of information help you out of a jam, but if you’re aware of these ahead of time there’s a good chance you can avoid them entirely. So, without any further ado, here are the top five:

 

SoftGrid Client "Error code: xxxxxx-xxxxxx0A- 20000194"

SoftGrid Client “Error Code:xxxxxx-xxxxxx2C-800736B1

When trying to launch a sequenced application you may receive the following error on the client:

The SoftGrid Client could not launch <xxxxx>.
This application has failed to start because the application configuration is incorrect. Reinstalling the application may fix this problem.
Error code: xxxxxx-xxxxxx2C-800736B1

You may also see some of the following events logged in the system log:

Source: SideBySide
Event ID: 59
Description: Generate Activation Context failed for <path to exe>. Reference error message: The operation completed successfully.

Source: SideBySide
Event ID: 59
Description: Resolve Partial Assembly failed for Microsoft.VC80.MFC. Reference error message: The referenced assembly is not installed on your system.

Source: SideBySide
Event ID: 59
Description: Dependent Assembly Microsoft.VC80.MFC could not be found and Last Error was The referenced assembly is not installed on your system.

Resolution:

This is usually caused because the Visual C++ 2005 runtime or some other similar component is required by the application yet is not installed locally on the client. The logs in the system event log should give you a clue as to what is missing. If you’re trying to sequence an application like this with the current shipping version of SoftGrid, once you’re able to identify the component that is giving you problems simply install it locally on the SoftGrid client computer and the sequenced application should now work. For your reference, the Microsoft Visual C++ 2005 Redistributable Package can be found here.
