witch Posted October 22, 2008 Posted October 22, 2008 I am trying to install this locally on a machine - the install goes fine, I sort out the read only files and all appears to be working...but, after about 3 mins the MFC error message comes up and the application closes. Has anyone encountered this? I have looked at the enormously long error message but I don't know what to look for. All help gratefully received
Michael Posted October 22, 2008 Posted October 22, 2008 This software is extremely unreliable and their technical support were unable to fix problems. This was quite some time ago. You could try contacting their support and see if you have better luck than I did.
leco Posted October 22, 2008 Posted October 22, 2008 I had issues with this software, which for us is meant to be networked but I couldn't get it to work like that. Installed on local machine with a local user in the administrators group, which is less than useful in this environment. The software still didn't work as it should and is very rarely used now. Which is also less than ideal given the cost.
witch Posted October 22, 2008 Author Posted October 22, 2008 Thanks for that info - I can't have local admins, unfortunately. Just what I need, another problem I am unable to solve: that makes 3 this week. People are starting to look sideways at me and I KNOW they are thinking - she can't do her job, can she?

People are starting to look sideways at me and I KNOW they are thinking - she can't do her job, can she? I didn't want local accounts let alone local admins, but that was the only way I could get it to work. The issue is not whether or not you can do your job, in my opinion it is with those onlookers who do not understand the situation. Users generally believe what it says on the box, which as we know all too well is not always the case.
witch Posted November 3, 2008 Author Posted November 3, 2008 Right - well I have fixed it - I think I uninstalled everything - cleaned up the registry, installers etc Reinstalled the software - all fine - but on running it I then got a completely DIFFERENT MFC error message that pointed me at some text-to-speech software installed somewhere else on the computer which I didn't put there and have no idea what it is for. SO I deleted it and installed the text-to-speech bit off the disc... And Voila! It seems to work at the moment Don't know why. Don't care Only 20 problems left on my list (sung to the tune of '10 green bottles') thanks guys

And when I have time of course - Ofsted visiting this week so everything will be manic.
compsue Posted March 21, 2013 Posted March 21, 2013 I installed CIP on 8 laptops and it disappeared on 7 of them, reinstalled and it seems ok now, strange though!
witch Posted March 21, 2013 Author Posted March 21, 2013 That is strange, @compsue I have installed it many times since 2008 and the only way I can get it to work properly is by setting the permissions on the CIP and Widget folders so that everyone can do everything.
Michael Posted March 21, 2013 Posted March 21, 2013 This post is quite old now, but I have found that installing the latest patch 2.80.675 makes a huge difference
Michael Posted March 22, 2013 Posted March 22, 2013 I've found the patch does improve the reliability and prevents it crashing every few minutes. On a separate note, I've found the files you save don't have Windows file associations, so you must open Communicate In-Print first, then the file. Opening from Explorer doesn't work. This is something I'd expect to see from 1995, not 2013! What I've never quite understood with Communicate In-Print is that the developers could easily make this a toolbar for MS Word for example, rather than create a full application from scratch. I've had staff say this to me and I have to agree. 1
kingoranks Posted March 14, 2014 Posted March 14, 2014 Are you guys able to use this fully when offline? I have a user who is trying to use it from home (RDS) but she doesn't get the pics at all. when the software loads its brings up an error msg-The wordlist file cannot be opened, then dialect spellings cannot be open. The software was installed on the server by the company that manages out servers

The software was installed on the server by the company that manages out servers Sorry about resurrecting this - I've got a pc here giving the MFC error which is why I'm here... but if anyone has a server install like ours - to use at home I copy the inprint folder to C:\ and created a reg key that changes the document path from the server, to C:\: Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\widgit\Communicate\In Print\Application] "Centre"="###### Junior School" "Name"="School" "Registration Code"="############" "InstallVal"="12/07/2013 11:10:35" "Version"="" "Word List Path"="not used" "Student Path"="use default" "Document Path Fixed"="C:\\InPrint\\Communicate Files" "Import Graphic Path"="not used" "Ini Path"="" "App Path"="C:\\Program Files\\Communicate\\In Print" Might help someone in future who's unlucky enough to manage this software
Jiri Posted January 20, 2016 Posted January 20, 2016 I suddenly got the In Print MFC error on a win 8.1 system, for no apparent reason. After reading this thread, I decided to try to clean the registry using CCleaner. And to my big surprise, it actually did work and In Print 2 started without problems again. Hope this might help somebody in the future ...
compsue Posted January 20, 2016 Posted January 20, 2016 Thankfully our school doesn't use this anymore!
Michael Posted January 21, 2016 Posted January 21, 2016 To update this discussion, I have this running on Windows 10 Edu, build 2.80.685b and no issues.
mavhc Posted July 23, 2019 Posted July 23, 2019 Found an issue today, not sure whether it's with the msi I made 10 years ago, or the software. It really doesn't want to be installed in Program Files (x86), has to be in Program Files or it'll load with all the icons missing.

It really doesn't want to be installed in Program Files (x86), has to be in Program Files or it'll load with all the icons missing. Must be your msi as never had a problem like this. Created a new msi just today as works in Program Files x86 without any issues 1
