How can I get the DATABASE Linker addin working again?

The database linker allows you to connect to SQL databases and/or excel files

There is a sample database available. That helps to explain the huge benefits of the addin.

Since I installed MM21 for windows, There are several addins listed that cannot be activated.


If you tick them in the options => addin screen the result is (see image)

The same for Brainstorm, save as Webpages and Analytics view addins

The same reaction when I switch to English.

Hello Ary

The Database Linker connects and works on my system, which is 64-bit MindManager 21.1.231.

The lack of version info on the listing in the Options dialogue indicates a problem with the configuration of the add-in in the registry. It might be worth trying to repair MindManager. If you are using 32-bit MindManager, it might also be worth trying to install the 64-bit version in case the wrong CPU version of the Add-in is present. This issue may affect multiple add-ins as you say.

Thanks Nick

I checked and all (OS, APPs, WIndows, Office etc) is on 64 bits

I did a repair of MM21

Did a restart, but the issue still exists.

Maybe it is because I do have older versions installed, but I need those for training classes all the time.

Maybe Marian or Shilpa knows a solution?

Hi Ary,


How did you install MindManager 21? Did you use the regular Stub installer link or did you use the Admin builds?

Best,

Hi again Ary,


The Database linker, Brainstorm, Analytics and Save as Web Pages features were not localized to Dutch. Please be sure you are running MindManager in English, French or German before attempting to re-enable the add-ins.


Best,

Hello Marian,

I did a standard download from the download area - and had some help from Sonia with the registration of my key.

I have tested with the English selecction

This did not help.

Check if it still works in Vs 2020 And yes inthere it works.

Switched the addins off in vs 2020 stopped the app and tried in vs 21 again. Same result.

I know now that I can demo the options with the older version, but ofcourse I love to have them in vs 21

Hi Ary,

As a repair of MindManager 21 did not resolve the issue, I suggest you fully uninstall the application, delete the registry entries at HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Mindjet\MindManager\21 and HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Mindjet\MindManager\21 and then reinstall.


If that does not resolve the issue, please open a case with MindManager Support.


Best,

-Marian
