Error: Vault Client Install not found.

[Anonymous]

I am experimenting with the VB version of the VaultFileBrowser code in the Vault SDK.

Things work fine when running on machines that have the full Vault Collaboration 2012 client setup.

However the code fails on machines without any AutoDesk software at all when the following line is processed.

Me.VaultExplorer = ExplorerLoader.LoadExplorerUtil(loginInfo.ServerString, loginInfo.Vault, ServiceManager.SecurityService.SecurityHeader.UserId, ServiceManager.SecurityService.SecurityHeader.Ticket)

The error message is "Vault Client Install not found"

I thought VB.Net apps developed using the Vault SDK would run on machines with no AutoDesk software loaded. Just the appropriate DLLs and .NET Framework were necessary. Which this machine has.

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Autodesk.Connectivity.Explorer.ExtensibilityTools requires the Vault Client install.  That DLL is just a gateway to Vault Explorer business logic, which is why the clinet needs to be there.

Autodesk.Connectivity.WebServices, Autodesk.Connectivity.WebServicesTools and Autodesk.Connectivity.Extensibility.Framework are the only DLLs that do not depend on an installed client.

Thanks Doug for the quick answer. I was hoping it would be different.

But at least I can stop banging my head against that wall.
