Repackaged application Rational RequisitePro doesn't work consistently (Urgent)

[charan]

Hi,


I am having a problem with my repackaged application "Rational
RequisitePro ver. 2002.05.20". The packaged msi when run works fine
for all shortcuts.. except for one shortcut - "RequisitePro" ( i.e
Reqisitepro.exe ). When this shortcut is clicked a message window
appears saying

" Unable to open license manager (Licensing.dll) to obtain a valid
license.Make sure RequisitePro is properly installed and try again."
Reason: Exception occurred
(HRESULT DISP_E_EXCEPTION) Could not checkout license.


If suppose i perform some operation ( Like opening Internet Explorer
or a windows search for a file) before i launch the shortcut
RequisitePro, the shortcut works consistently then on. Can anyone let
me know the reason why my application doesn't work for the first
time...

It's very urgent plz help...

Are you using an advertised entry point? I have had similar issues
with an application not opening correctly with Windows Installer
shortcuts. You may want to try using a legacy shortcut with this
application and see if you still have the issue. You will sacrifice
repair capabilities for that particular entry point, but it may assist
with the running of the application. A way to test without rebuilding
and redeploying would be to run the executable from Start > Run. That
would be the same as using a "Target" shortcut.
