I did find one thread mentioning a conflicting dll error when starting RoboForm, but that thread didn't go anywhere. I am getting the same error (attached).

My understanding is that Ceedo is starting a desktop version of RoboForm, which is already running on my host PC, hence the conflict. My experience with RoboForm tells me that Ceedo should be installing the portable version of RoboForm not the desktop version. Ceedo is installed on portable devices is it not? Upon execution the portable version would disable the currently running desktop version, produce a pop-up stating such, and the RoboForm tray icon would change to the portable version. No conflicts and it works like a charm with PortableApps and U3.

RoboForm 6.7.8 in the Ceedo Programs Directory is the (incorrect) desktop version and very old I might add. There isn't even a Firefox adapter for 6.7.8 any more. Current version is 6.9.3

I believe Ceedo developers need to re-think the implementation of RoboForm they have available out there and update Argo to facilitate the installation of the portable version.

I'm running Ceedo on a Seagate 160GB FreeAgent USB portable drive. My host PC is running XP Pro SP2 with RoboForm 6.9.3

I submitted this post Saturday afternoon. I thought response may be slow due to the weekend, but it is now Monday morning, 19 views and zero responses later. I've noted this forum to be quick in providing assistance or opinions in the past. Why is there no interest in my post?

I am suggesting that the wrong version of RoboForm is being offered for download in the Ceedo Programs Directory. And offering a solution for the dll conflict error that has been experienced by myself and others.

Is this not comment-worthy by admins, developers, or the ever present customer relations contact? If I'm incorrect in my observations or suggestions I'd certainly like to know that as well.

I don't understand the silence. :confused:

Sometimes you have to try and recreate the issue, get all the facts, try and find a solution before posting a reply. It won't help you if anybody takes wild guesses at a resolution.

Hi!

I haven't had the time to test the RoboForm application, and since I haven't used it before nor had any experiences with it, I decided to not reply, even though I read what you said. ;)

BUT: I've downloaded the free version of RoboForm2Go (latest as of today) and installed it on my Ceedo unit using Argo, and it works perfectly here.

Could you provide some more information to us on how to recreate your problem? Thanks! :)

BTW: Argo is used for installing any type of application (with some exceptions), not only applications made for portable devices :)

Exire: When I tried to install the portable version of RoboForm there were a couple problems:

The application folder was put on the root of the USB device, not within the Ceedo \ Programs Files directory. Using Argo, pointing to the RoboForm2Go installation file, the results were the same. Isn't Argo supposed to put the installed apps in the Ceedo \ Program Files directory? Where is the application folder on your device?

Also, at the end of the installation routine I recieved an error stating that RoboForm could not modify the autorun.inf in order to start RoboForm upon insertion of the USB device. You did not get this error? Or you did not check that install option?

In order to recreate the dll conflict error you would need to have RoboForm installed and running on your desktop, which would be the norm if you were a RoboForm user. Then you would need to install the version of RoboForm provided on the Ceedo Programs Directory on your USB device.

Hi FishStyx,

I think that after you've began using Ceedo you don't need to have Roboform installed on the PC, because the whole point of Ceedo is that it will carry all your apps with you.

Anyway, I have roboform installed both on my PC and my Ceedo drive, I haven't had any issues with running it until now. Did you recently install Roboform on Ceedo or are you working with it for a while and the error message suddenly appeared?

About the file not being updated - I'm sure ceedo has seen this post and is working to update the file.

Isn't Argo supposed to put the installed apps in the Ceedo \ Program Files directory? Where is the application folder on your device?

RoboForm2Go doesn't need any installation, as the "setup file" is just an archieve containing the RoboForm2Go application.

To install it correctly:
1. Launch the RoboForm2Go file through Argo.
2. Choose "I Agree" on first setup screen.
3. On second setup screen, select the drive RoboForm2Go shall be installed to (that shall be your Ceedo unit), then unhook "Configure RoboForm2Go to start when you insert removable drive" and "Set RoboForm2Go name and icon on removable drive".
4. Select "Yes" on the alert that appears.
5. Fill out the User Registration data screen
6. Choose a password for RoboForm2Go.
7. Don't care about the error message that appears about autorun.inf. Just ignore it and close RoboForm2Go by right clicking the icon in system tray and select Exit.
8. Go to "My computer", then "Explore you Ceedo drive".
9. Cut the Roboform and My RoboForm Data folders + the PortableRoboForm file.
10. Go to "ceedo-->Program files\" and create a folder named RoboForm2Go
11. Paste the file and two folders into this folder.
12. Open Argo and select Add a shortcut to existing file. The browse to the RoboForm2Go folder and choose the PortableRoboForm file. Go next until Argo closes.

RoboForm2Go should now work as supposed. :)

In order to recreate the dll conflict error you would need to have RoboForm installed and running on your desktop, which would be the norm if you were a RoboForm user. Then you would need to install the version of RoboForm provided on the Ceedo Programs Directory on your USB device.

I would suggest to avoid the one in the program directory because it's so old. Try with latest version on both your Ceedo (use the RoboForm2Go there) and on your computer (use the "normal" version there).

Hopes this helps! :)

Exire: Thanks for your post, but after reading all the hoops you went through I don't see why you used Argo at all. You could have accomplished everything you did without Argo. When I use Argo I expect it to put everything in the right place and have a working icon in the Start menu. That was (one of) my original points; Argo does not install RoboForm2Go correctly.

Even after you perform your manual install, does your portable RoboForm start automatically upon insertion and shut down the desktop version which was running on your desktop? I'm thinking not since you "don't care about the error message that appears about autorun.inf".

Since you also moved the My RoboForm Data folder out of its default My Documents folder, you may have to configure RoboForm options as to where you put it.

Your comments on the dll conflict error are unclear to me. Both my desktop and portable versions are up-to-date at 6.9.3 As I said in my original post; I believe you will experience the dll conflict error if you install the desktop version on both your desktop and USB device (which is what will happen if you use the Ceedo Programs Directory file).

You still do not address my concern that the file supplied in Ceedo Programs Directory is the desktop version, not the portable version. Of course with your installation method maybe it doesn't matter. Yoav: It’s not that it is just out-of-date; it’s the wrong platform version, which has a different install routine and directory structure.

I appreciate the help you are trying to give, but not being a RoboForm user, I don't believe you understand how it is supposed to work when installed correctly. Your instructions are not how to install RoboForm2Go correctly and I don't believe your installation will work as designed. Please refer to my original post.

Sincerely,
FishStyx

Here's what I did to try and recreate this issue.

I downloaded the installation file from the RoboForm website but did not install it.

I then installed RoboForm on my Ceedo drive from the Ceedo software repository.

Once this installation was complete, I created a startup shortcut in the startup folder on my Ceedo drive. I did not start RoboForm from my Ceedo drive at

this point, but instead ejected my Ceedo drive.

Next, I installed RoboForm on my PC using the installation file that I downloaded from the RoboForm website and ran it.

So now I have two different versions of the software.

On host PC: 6.9.3

On Ceedo drive: 6.7.8

I then reconnected my Ceedo drive and got the error message in the screenshot. As you can see, there is a version conflict.

I closed the error, exited RoboForm, and uninstalled it from my Ceedo drive, making sure to delete any left over files and folders once the uninstallation

was complete.

I reinstalled RoboForm on my Ceedo drive (using Argo) using the installation file that I had downloaded from the RoboForm website so that I would have the

same version on both the host PC and the Ceedo drive. I got the following message informing me that I had to uninstall RoboForm from the host PC before

continuing (look at the text at the bottom of the second screenshot), which I did before installing on the Ceedo drive.

I took care to ensure that RoboForm did not install to the root of the drive, but to the Program Files folder.I created a startup shortcut and then ejected

the Ceedo drive and reinstalled it on the host PC. When I reconnected the Ceedo drive, RoboForm was running on the host PC. You will see from the screenshot

of my task manager that after connecting the Ceedo drive with RoboForm in the startup folder, there is only one instance of RoboForm running.

I attempted to start RoboForm from the Ceedo drive, and got no error messages, and no second instance of RoboForm was running in the task manager. See the

second task manager screenshot.

I opened FireFox from my Ceedo drive and came to the form to post this, and was logged in automatically. I had told RoboForm to disable the password managers

in my web browsers, so I am assuming that the software did its job correctly. See final screenshot.

Conclusion:

Make sure that the same version is installed on both the host PC and your Ceedo drive.

When I use Argo I expect it to put everything in the right place and have a working icon in the Start menu. That was (one of) my original points; Argo does not install RoboForm2Go correctly.


Argo cannot install RoboForm2Go correctly, because RoboForm2Go is already set up like a portable solution. It doesn't require any install routines (the "installer" you see when you run RoboForm2Go from Argo is just a wizard that helps you configure RoboForm2Go, and not an installer). Therefore, you have to copy all the files and folders from the root of your unit and place them in ceedo\program files and also use Argo to create an icon for it.


To make the story short: I deleted all traces of roboform2go from my Ceedodrive then started all over again.


1. I downloaded and installed the desktop version of Roboform onto my laptop (did no changes to the setup or program, just installed it).
2. RoboForm (for laptops) was now running in the background on my laptop.
3. I fired up Ceedo and deleted all my traces of RoboForm2Go.
4. I downloaded RoboForm2Go again, but this time I didn't use Argo to install it, I simply clicked the setup file from within the windows environment (and not through Ceedo or Argo)
5. I pointed the "installer" to my iPod Nano so that RoboForm2Go would be installed there. Then I unhooked the two settings I told you of above.
6. RoboForm2Go installed perfectly, and a as soon as it was installed I got a note from form RoboForm (for laptops) that was running in my system tray area telling me that it had changed from laptop version and over to the portable version.


Noe errors, hassles or anything this time. Try once more please ;)
Hope this helps!


NOTE: It is very, very important that you do unhook unhook "Configure RoboForm2Go to start when you insert removable drive" and "Set RoboForm2Go name and icon on removable drive" as I said in point nr.5!

If you do not unhook those you will get an error, as RoboForm2Go tries to modify the Ceedo autorun.inf file (to add the "run automatically" settings), which cannot be modified as it is locked while Ceedo runs (if you disconnect Ceedo, it will be fine, but I suggest you don't let roboForm2Go modify it anyway. Let Argo do that job instead!)

Thank you exire, this sounds like a workable solution and I appreciate the explanation on Argo. I'll perform your instructions on my Ceedo drive tonight when I get home from work and report back the results. Sounds like it'll work fine.

I guess the main thing I didn't get is that I needed to manually move the installed folders and executable to the Ceedo\Program Files directory and then create a shortcut using Argo. I assumed that Argo would "install" everything for me. I'm now trying to recall how I installed RoboForm on my PortableApps flash drive; I think I had to add the shortcut to that menu also. The U3 version is a proprietary installer then.

Thanks to keith as well, I appreciate your effort.

Maybe you guys will become RoboForm users now! :)

Your welcome. I hope this solves your problems. Hehe... well, I think they got me as a user today, as I realized RoboForm saves me alot of time actually, and also it browser independant. I've tried something similiar before, think it was named Gator or something, but it was terrible.. just bloatware! So it's time for me to give such programs another chance :)

My RoboForm2Go is not in the Ceedo program files, but I made a shortcut in Ceedo for RoboForm2Go using Argo. I understand from the preceding couple of posts that RoboForm2Go can be manually moved into Ceedo. Would someone who has done this (or who knows how to do this) please tell me how to do it. That is, I am seeking a series of steps.

There is a section of advanced instructions on the RoboForm2Go web page that discusses moving RoboForm2Go, but I was unable to apply those instructions to Ceedo.

Another question: What is the advantage of installing RoboForm2Go in Ceedo rather than installing it outside of Ceedo and using a shortcut.

Thanks for your help.

:p paranoid indeed!

"RoboForm makes logging into Web sites and filling forms faster, easier, and more secure. RoboForm memorizes and securely stores each user name and password the first time you log into a site, then automatically supplies them when you return. RoboForm's powerful Logins feature eliminates the manual steps of logging into any online account. With just one click RoboForm will navigate to a Web site, enter your username and password and click the submit button for you.Completing long registration or checkout forms is also a breeze. Simply click on your RoboForm Identity and RoboForm fills-in the entire form for you. You no longer need to remember all your passwords. You remember one Master Password, and RoboForm remembers the rest. This allows you to use stronger passwords, making your online experience more secure. RoboForm uses strong AES encryption for complete data security."

Then either you got some sort of "Einstein" brain, or your password are put together in such a way that they are løogical to your brain. Remembering passwords of 13+ characters that are random generated by a computer and containing "small"/"big" letters, numbers and special characters is nothing but extreme if so. :D

I use only one password no matter what, and this password is 9 characters, meaning it's long enough to keep brute force attacking software from cracking it within the next year or so (and by then I've changed it again :D).

My RoboForm2Go is not in the Ceedo program files, but I made a shortcut in Ceedo for RoboForm2Go using Argo. I understand from the preceding couple of posts that RoboForm2Go can be manually moved into Ceedo. Would someone who has done this (or who knows how to do this) please tell me how to do it. That is, I am seeking a series of steps.

I'm not sure if this will make RoboForm crash on your Ceedo unit, but it haven't happened on mine so hopefully it should work for you too. Do it on your own risk though. ;)

1. Goto "My computer" and choose "Explore Ceedo drive/unit".
2. Right click and select "cut", or "ctrl+select" the "RoboForm" and "RoboForm Data" folders + the "PortableRoboForm" file.
3. Navigate to "ceedo\Program files\", right click and choose "new--> Create folder" and name it "RoboForm2Go".
4. Paste the two folder + the file into this folder.
5. Goto Easy-Access menu in Ceedo, and choose Argo.
6. Choose "Create a shortcut to an existing file", then press "Browse". Now, navigate to the folder you just created and select the file "PortableRoboForm".
7. Leave the next screen as it is.
8. Create a group in the startmenu called "RoboForm2Go", then go "Next" and "Next/Finished".
9. Finished! :)


Another question: What is the advantage of installing RoboForm2Go in Ceedo rather than installing it outside of Ceedo and using a shortcut.

Thanks for your help.

You would install a program through Argo (in Ceedo) if it's an installer. Since RoboForm2Go isn't an installer (it just let you choose the drive it should extract it's content to), you would just install it from within Windows environment (at least I chosed to do so).

So basically:
1. If it's an installer --> Argo must be used.
2. If it's an archieve, folder etc. --> No need for Argo to install (just to make an icon for the app). Just extract and/or paste.

I dream up all my own passwords, making sure that I use no logic when doing so. Just to throw a curve ball, I'll use a six character password here and there.

According to Microsoft's password checker, a nine character (alpha-numeric) password is only a medium strength password. Don't think brute force password hackers will have too much trouble with a medium strength password. Sorry, Kristoffer. :D

Well sir, I followed your install suggestions and still am not satisfied with the results. Portable RoboForm on the Ceedo device still will not auto start and I have to manually exit the desktop version before the portable version will start.

The portable install went fine. I did not check either of the two options, and I cut & paste the two folders + portableroboform.exe to the new Ceedo\Program Files\RoboForm2Go folder. When opening Argo to create the shortcut I was presented with two check boxes to “create a start menu icon” and “put an icon in the startup folder”. I thought to myself, “Self…this must be how Argo will accomplish the auto start! Cool!” So I checked both boxes, created the shortcut, unplugged and reinserted the Ceedo device. Ceedo started, but no portable RoboForm appearance. My desktop RoboForm was running in the system tray. I tried to manually start portable RoboForm using the Ceedo shortcut. Nothing. I exited the desktop RoboForm and then tried the Ceedo RoboForm shortcut again. Portable RoboForm started, but no pop-up of course because the desktop version was not running. When I unplugged the Ceedo device I had to manually restart desktop RoboForm. So my installation is still not working the way it should.

I did a comparison using my OCZ Rally 4GB USB PortableApps flash drive. I use PStart on this drive and all the applications from PortableApps.com. Upon insertion PStart auto started. RoboForm is on the PStart menu, but I did not configure it to auto start because it would conflict with the PStart auto start. I click on RoboForm, I get the pop-up telling me that portable RoboForm is now running and the system tray desktop icon is replaced with the portable icon. When I exit PStart and remove the OCZ drive the portable icon is once again replaced by the desktop icon. This is how RoboForm should work. This is also exactly how it works on the U3 platform.

Is your installation working as I described in the previous paragraph? Suggestions? Anyone else? Thanks in advance for any help.

So have the two main board responders given up on me and RoboForm? The situation evidently remains as-is.

RoboForm available in the Ceedo Programs Directory is the desktop version (and still out-dated) and if you install & execute that version while having the desktop version running on your main PC you will get the dll conflict error. You can use that version, but you’ll have to stop RoboForm on your main PC before starting the Ceedo application.

Portable RoboForm can be installed, but it then has to be manually moved to the Ceedo\Programs Files directory and a shortcut created with Argo. Even with RoboForm added to the Ceedo Startup folder it will not auto start, stop the running desktop version on the main PC, and replace the system tray icon with the portable version. You can use the portable version, but you’ll have to stop RoboForm on your main PC before starting the Ceedo application.

Since Ceedo does not distinguish between the desktop and portable versions; my suggestion then would be to download a “current” desktop version from the RoboForm website and use Argo to install it under the Ceedo\Program Files folder which will also give you an icon on the Ceedo Start menu. If you use RoboForm on your main PC you’ll just have to remember to stop it before executing the Ceedo app or simply don’t use Ceedo RoboForm if you’re at home; the desktop version will still be running.

Have I about got it right?

Just to clarify; portable RoboForm in conjunction with the desktop version does work as designed on both the U3 platform and with PortableApps. I haven’t experimented as much yet with the MojoPac platform, but when I do I’ll let you guys know, if you’re interested.

FishStyx,

The method I used to install RoboForm on my Ceedo drive worked just fine for me both here and at work, where my PC is locked down tighter than Fort Knox.

I would recommend uninstalling RoboForm from both your PC and your Ceedo drive, downloading the latest version from the vendor's website, and installing it (with Argo) on your Ceedo drive first.

When you have it installed on your Ceedo driver, disconnect the drive from your PC, and install the same version on your PC.

You should be able to have it running on your PC, and when you connect your Ceedo drive, it should work just fine with out having to start it on the drive itself. This is how it went for me. The full version (as opposed to the portable version) installs and works just fine in Ceedo. At least, it did for me when I installed it in XP Pro.

Unfortunately, this is the only viable solution that I can come up with. I simply don't know enough about the program to come up with another solution that might work better for you. I apologize for this.

I don't have the time at the moment to try to further solve your problem, but one thing I for sure can say is: RoboForm2Go works like a charm on Ceedo, and I can confirm that it also work in conjunction with the desktop version of RoboForm (see my post above...) and that they seamlessly operates with each other as they should (meaning desktop version closes when portable launches, and desktop takes over again as soon as portable closes).

So this at least tells us that there is nothing wrong with either Ceedo or RoboForm, as I have them working right here as I type this :)
The problem then has to be with your device/computer/OS or maye a corrupt Ceedo Personal. :)

I will edit this topic when I got time, and then try to solve your problem.

Exire, thanks for the receipe that you posted a few days ago to help me move RoboForm2Go from outside of Ceedo to inside of Ceedo.

At first, I could not get RoboForm2Go to work after I moved it according to the steps that you posted. I would get an error message that the file "My RoboForm Data" did not exist. I finally figured out that the program was looking in the wrong place for the file.

There is one step that was not included in your receipe that I found in the RoboForm2Go help manual: There is a Portable.ini File that sets the path to My RoboForm Data. The file is set by default to \My RoboForm Data\Default Profile. So, I opened the Portable.ini file and changed the designated path to "\Ceedo\Program Files\RoboForm2Go\My RoboForm Data\Default Profile. In addition, I moved the Portable.ini file into the RoboForm2Go folder in Ceedo. With the addition of this step to your instructions, RoboForm2Go works well from within Ceedo.

I report this information to help others who want to move RoboForm2Go from its installation location to within Ceedo.

All of this said, however, I am still not sure if ther is any advantage from moving roboForm2Go inside of Ceedo instead of just creating a shortcut to it in its location on the portable drive outside of Ceedo.

This may be an alternate to what has been posted above. It ends up with Roboform on both main computer and remote drive (i.e. doesn't use Roboform2Go.) From my understanding of how Roboform2Go works, this may have an advantage in that you can browsers running from both environments and using Roboform simultaneously.

I am a licensed user of Roboform Pro; had it running at current version on my laptop. I went to Roboform download site from Ceedo browser, downloaded and installed. Key requirement seems to be installing from user acount that has administrator priveleges and checking option to install for all Windows users.

Once Roboform installed in Ceedo, I copied over the Roboform directory from main computer Program Files to Ceedo drive. Everything is running fine; no dll conflicts.

I am using the Seagate FreeAgent Go disc and have synced My Documents on my main computer to the remote drive. I pointed the option for User Data to the synched folder on the FreeAgent drive. That way, when I add or change passcards on my main drive they will work on the remote drive without any additional manipulation.

Hope this helps.
