@klagowski something went wrong during attachment of databases. Or ImageRepository.mdf became corrupted during download/unpack.

Please try uninstall - reboot - install.

@Vreaper Don't put too much time in this my next version has a new VidaMonitor i created and will fix this issue.

There are VidaMonitor logs in the C:\VIDA\System.
But i think you can fix the issue in 2 ways:
1 - enable Vidamonitor at windows startup and reboot the system so VidaMonitor is started with System rights.
2 - uninstall VIDA (dont uninstall SQL!), install again and reboot

@repeq
Did you let my installer handle the SQL installation? If yes verify that SQL Server Service is started and running.

If you installed SQL with the setup from ISSetupPrequisites folder uninstall VIDA and SQL Server and start installation again.

@Vreaper Thank you for the review! I will look into the NET Framework prerequisite.

I think youre issue with the image(s) has to be arbortext isoview.
Isoview is responsible for showing the modules and parts images.

You could try uninstalling Arbortex Isoview 7.1 and installing another version of IsoView and see if it resolves the issue.

The latest version is 7.3 and the original VIDA version is 4.0.

Sorry i thought i was in chat Thank you for the review!

Yes if you install the original EWD CD-Rom it will overwrite the online EWD.
Please leave a review at the original post so others can see you like it!

@T5-T6-Schnappi
Thank you for testing!
I could add the drivers as an optional part of the installation because not everyone needs them.
Could you provide me link to the drivers in chat?

I will have a look into the other issues you had and report back later.
I must say VIDA depends alot on hardware as you run the Server and cliënt on the same computer.
I noticed VIDA becomes faster after using it for a while.

@T5-T6-Schnappi
I use SQL Server Management Studio (SSMS) to edit the database.

1. Removed all recent vin's.
2. Made a script to set SQL service to Automatic during installation.
3. Permanent fix for IE Mode in Edge. (Is set during installation)

I am currently compressing and uploading the updated installer.

Will send u new link in chat soon.

Pleasy remove current version. (Only VIDA, no need to uninstall SQL Server)

Then install updated version and let me know if all is good.

@T5-T6-Schnappi
Thank you for the feedback!

I know about the Edge IE Mode, the fix i used has stopped working after edge updates.

I could add the fix you shared to the installation but they mention it does not work if Edge is signed in to an account.

As long as Internet Explorer works on latest Windows 11, i dont feel the need to fix Edge. (tested on 25H2)

I will see if i can fix the delayed start of SQL Server and implement it into the installer.
