Package initialization error on loading a project (’invalid username’ or ’Key checksum’ error)
I’m getting an error loading a project: ’There is a problem with package intialization. The error is ’invalid username XXX serial number 000’. (In some cases the error may be: ’Key checksum’).
This may be due to an expired registry key from the previously installed Trial edition causing the failure of package loading in the registered edition. We believe this only affects version 1.4 of the Developer Edition of Ruby In Steel.
1) Uninstall Ruby In Steel
2) Locate this key in the Registry:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\VisualStudio\9.0\Packages\{325B8569-0C7C-4a6a-8AF8-89C3B6BC9E74}
This may contain the old data: UserName = TrialEdition and SerialNumber=00000000.
3) Delete this key
4) Unzip the Ruby In Steel 1.4 distribution to a clean directory
5) Copy the registered key file (key.bin) into that directory (thereby overwriting the Trial key file that comes with the distribution)
6) Install and enter the username/serial number AT INSTALLATION (not later on)
This problem will be fixed in Ruby In Steel 1.5 and later.
