System.Data.SQLite

At install the following error occurs -> could not open registry key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\.NETFramework\v4.0.30319\AssemblyFoldersEx

.NET 4.0 is fully installed and in the opened commandline window the error seems to be at Installer.exe #38

After the Setup in Server-Explorer no SQLite Database Connection could be created.

Further investigation: It seems that under X64 the Registry path needed is-> HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\.NETFramework\v4.0.30319\AssemblyFoldersEx

As a temporary workaround (for VS 2010), you could do the following steps:

1. Install the 32-bit setup without the option checked to run the VS designer components installer.

2. Open a Visual Studio command prompt.

3. Change to the "System.Data.SQLite\2010\bin" install directory.

4. Using the "corflags" tool (part of the .NET SDK), flag the "Installer.exe" tool as 32-bit only (e.g. "corflags /32BIT+ /Force Installer.exe").

5. Re-sign the "Installer.exe" assembly using a strong name key pair (e.g. sn -Ra Installer.exe System.Data.SQLite.snk). Any SNK file will work here.

6. Run the "Installer.exe" tool using the following command line:

Installer.exe -install true -installFlags AllExceptGAC -tracePriority Lowest -verbose true -noCompact true -noNetFx20 true -noVs2008 true -whatIf false -confirm true

Flagging the Installer.exe tool as 32-bit only may indeed become the official solution to this issue for the next release.

Same here with Fx35.

Temporary workaround for VS 2008:

1. Install the 32-bit setup without the option checked to run the VS designer components installer.

2. Open a Visual Studio command prompt.

3. Change to the "System.Data.SQLite\2008\bin" install directory.

4. Using the "corflags" tool (part of the .NET SDK), flag the "Installer.exe" tool as 32-bit only (e.g. "corflags /32BIT+ /Force Installer.exe").

5. Re-sign the "Installer.exe" assembly using a strong name key pair (e.g. sn -Ra Installer.exe System.Data.SQLite.snk). Any SNK file will work here.

6. Run the "Installer.exe" tool using the following command line:

Installer.exe -install true -installFlags AllExceptGAC -tracePriority Lowest -verbose true -noCompact true -noNetFx40 true -noVs2010 true -whatIf false -confirm true

Working on making the installer aware of the WoW64 subsystem, see check-in [13e7a22c1e].

Since Visual Studio is currently a 32-bit application, the 64-bit setups will not be able to install the VS designer components because they only physically include the necessary native code for the 64-bit SQLite core, which cannot be loaded into a 32-bit process. That being the case, the workarounds I added above will only work for the 32-bit setups.

The fixes for this issue will be in the next release, 1.0.79.0, which will be out sometime tomorrow. Thanks for your patience.

Confirmed fixed, pending release.
