Getting "Unknown stream header byte sequence" error when attempting to open the "ASPNETAtlasWikiRC.vsi".

Suggestion(s)?

Thanks,

Adam

The same for me aswell.

Which browser version?
You should be able to just click on the link to download and then choose "Open" when prompted to "Open" or "Save" in the browser?
Can you describe the repro steps?

I got my error this morning from my home PC..."I.E. v 5.x", I believe. I'll verify tonight.
Repro steps: I downloaded the file and selected "Save." Once down, I selected "Open" and got the error. I then closed all open windows (on the pc <g>) and tried again...same error. I then went to the file via explorer, double clicked it, and got the same error.
Feeling totally defeated, I opened this thread and sulked off to work to salvage the remainder of my developer's self-esteem. ;-)
That's pretty much all the steps.

Hey,
I'm using IE6.0.2900.2180.XPSP2.
After the file is downloaded (FileSize : 1.79 MB (1,882,320 bytes))
you can choose to open the file and an error window is thrown at you.
Visual Studio Content Installer:
"Unknown stream header byte sequence."
That all the info, I have meanwhile.

Sorry,
But when do we get an answer on our error, or will the "ASPNETAtlasWikiRC.VSI" file be replaced with the one that works on our pc?
My browser version is: I.E. 6.0.2900.2180.xpsp_sp2_gdr.040803-2158.
Hopefully you can help us, because I am looking forward to explore the Wiki Toolkit!
Thanks.
Just letting you know that we are still looking at this. It appears the the .vsi file may be getting corrupted somewhere between the download server and your local filesystem. Are you running an anti-virus program?
thanks

On my computer I have the McAfee VirusScan Enterprise 7.1.0 virusscanner. But we also did the download with a pc without a virusscanner and transferred the file with ftp to my pc, but it also didn't work.
On the other pc there is also Internet Explorer 6.0 with default microsoft updates.

Maybe it's for WebDeveloper Express only? I had install project on my
Microsoft Visual Studio 2005
Version 8.0.50727.42 (RTM.050727-4200)
Microsoft .NET Framework
Version 2.0.50727
Installed Edition: WD Express
Microsoft Visual Web Developer 2005 76872-000-0000011-00123
Microsoft Visual Web Developer 2005

I had the exact same problem

I think the problem was file corruption during download.

It may be a weird server setting, but I was using a download manager which I disabled and tried again. It worked afterwards.

The download should be a simple right click > save as or if there's any interruption or middle app, there will be problems with the file.

Downloaded, installed the .vsi and created a wiki site from the template. That went all very well. The site doesn't work however because of connection problems with the database. I looked into this of course and tried to attach atlaswiki.mdf in the app_data folder, which doesn't work because the atlaswiki_log.ldf isn't there. The aspnetdb_log.ldf isn't there either. As far as I understand sql server databases these files are essential and should have been included. If I am wrong here I'd like to know.

hansh, Which software combo are you using?

Developer express? SQL Express?

Also what version of ASP.Net framework? If you have ASP.Net 2 Beta, then you may have to remove that and update to the newest version.

Atlas VSI installer error: String cannot have zero length

Hi,

I downloaded the January CTP release/vsi installer. When I double click ASPNETAtlas.vsi I get the following dialog box error:

*************
A problem occured while running the installer. Please contact the content author for problems with content.

Error message:
String cannot have zero length
*************

Any advice would be appreciated.

I've seen several posts related to different install errors using the .vsi installer, most of these errors appear to be caused because of different combinations of the ATLAS releases and the .NET/VS 2005 versions. My recommendation is that if you can't get to install it succesfully, the installer only adds a "project template", so instead, if you're able to extract the contents of the .vsi file there are 2 zip files, each containing the project files you need for either C# or VB .NET, you can use either zip file as your project "template".
Thanks. Still no luck. Tried renaming .vsi to .zip and still cannot read or view the contents. Tried on two seperate PCs and no luck. Are there any other .vsi viewer/extractor tools? I wish Microsoft would offer a zip version in addition to the vsi. Sounds like vsi is a mixed bag at best. Leaves the rest of us out of luck.
Yeah, I don't think the .vsi is really a zip file, however if you were able to launch it, there is an option to view files in Windows Explorer, which will show you the 2 zip files and a .vscontent file. I have a copy of these files, if you provide me a contact e-mail I can send them over.
Tried Windows Explorer and didn't find any option to view the contents of a VSI file.
I am having this same issue and cannot find a way to open the VSI. Windows Explorer doesn't allow me to do that.
If you're not able to launch the .VSI, then you will not see the "View Files in Windows Explorer" option. Nevertheless theMarch release is out, and this comes in the form of a .msi installer, so you may have better luck with this...
