FYI, I am using the Classic DA libraries in the tool also. I will clean out the XML files. Thanks for the tip.

Now, with the "boxing" disabled, you need to copy the OPC UA Certificate Generator to the right place during your installation.

To do so, locate the QuickOPC installation folder on your development computer. Under this folder, locate Bonus\Opc.Ua.ConfigurationTool\Opc.Ua.CertificateGenerator.exe . Change your installer to place this file alongside your own program's executable before you make the installation action from inside your program.

I hope this helps
Best regards

Hello.

If you are only using OPC UA and not OPC Classic, you can completely leave out App_Web_* files, and OpcLabs.EasyOpcClass.* files.
And, you never need the XML files you listed - they are just for development (XML documentation).

I will reply to the actual issue (error) separately, later.

I added the entries from the link to my app config file and still get a startup error, but different. I no longer get the TCPSVCS.exe pop up. Only console window output. Attached is the error message. Just to clarify, I am only copying the following assemblies and files to my installation folder during the install. Do I need to make any changes to the XML files?

App_Web_OpcLabs.EasyOpcClassicRaw.x86.dll
OpcLabs.BaseLib.dll
OpcLabs.BaseLib.xml
OpcLabs.EasyOpcClassic.dll
OpcLabs.EasyOpcClassic.xml
OpcLabs.EasyOpcUA.dll
OpcLabs.EasyOpcUA.xml

Hello,
thank you for additional information.

I cannot be sure, but such weird symptoms can be related to a special technique (and library) we use to make it unnecessary to deploy additional files (in this case, the UA certificate generator). Or it can be due to the antivirus, or an unwanted interaction of these two technologies.

I therefore suggest that you follow the instructions outlined here: kb.opclabs.com/How_to_disable_prerequisites_boxing . If the error does not go away, but the symptoms change, it may mean we are on the right track anyway.

Best regards

1. Not my application. It’s referring to the Windows process.

2. I am not currently doing anything with the certificate generator . The path c:\u\staticEngine\ is the path of my application “staticEngine.exe”

3. Yes we run Symantec AV on all our machines

4. When in install my application, I am logged in as Administrator. My installation copies the QuickOPC assemblies needed for runtime to a sub folder in the install folder c:\u\staticEngine.

Thanks

Hello, I have some questions:

1. Is TCPSVCS.EXE (on the error popup) name of your application, or does it refer to standard Windows process?

2. Are you doing anything special about the UA Certificate Generator (I am concerned about the somewhat weird path c:\u\.... where the exception messages says it is looking for it, but it might be OK).

3. Do you have antivirus or similar software active?

4. Are you running the installer with elevated privileges?

Thank you

Client certificate installation issue was created by janderscu

I have created a simple C# console UA client ... when running on my dev machine, everything runs fine. I am installation my application to other target machines using an installer project in Visual Studio. I'm getting a error dialog pop (see attached screenshot) as well as an exception when trying to subscribe channels (shown in second attached screenshot). This looks like a client certificate installation issue so I think I need to take care of that when I install my application. I am already handling QuickOPC license install to the registry during deployment. Now I need to figure out the best, hopefully simplest, way to install the client certificate. I have been reading through the documentation on this subject and think I'm understanding but would appreciate some guidance and direction on preferred method,

Thanks,
Jason
