Update seems to have affected my stock take reports (no longer populate as they did) but I have been working a better report template anyway so not so bothered about this as I can work around.
Won’t be able to show templates for a while as busy work wise at moment, just making this comment
to see if anyone else has noticed issues.

On the plus side Samba is noticeably faster on my lower spec terminal.

The installer won’t run on Windows Server 2016. It ran on Windows 10, though.

That is most likely because its in a BETA forum which you may not have access to.

This new release allows us to do this.

I have actually already managed to get it work. I intend to put together a tutorial to show you exactly how this can be done.

Stay Tuned!

Shivan's Tutorial 2 - Order Courses & Order Grouping

Description In this tutorial, you will be able to accomplish order grouping using the new Update Ticket Grouping feature found in the latest SambaPOS V5 Version 5.2.12. For this to work, please ensure you have SambaPOS V5 Version 5.2.12 or higher installed. For Versions below 5.2.12 the course change will work but you may not be able to see the grouping the same way as shown in the end result at bottom of screen. This tutorial is intended to show you how to setup default order courses, a…

There was no error. When I double click the exe, my mouse cursor briefly shows the loading circle and doesn’t do anything else. I tried to run it as Windows 8 Compatible, but still didn’t work.

I was able to install SambaPOS 5.2.10 on it last week without problems.

Check to see if installer service for Windows was hung up?

[rightguys]

If the Installer Service was stopped, wouldn’t that have meant that I woundn’t have been able to install anything? I was able to install 2 other programs just fine.

[Jesse]

Probably I’m just guessing based on the very small info you have provided.

[markjw]

It is probably related to windows protection because it’s an “unknown file” and not digitally signed, in Windows 10 it comes up with a dialog warning you and letting you “run anyway”. It is most likely in Server 2016, this is just being blocked.

[rightguys]

I was thinking the same thing too. I was able to install 5.2.10 just fine last week, but there was a Windows Security Update 2 days ago that may have changed something. I’ll check it out. Thanks.

@rightguys

there was a Windows Security Update 2 days ago that may have changed something.

No it’s not related to that.

It is this:

This shows in Windows 10, it’s because the file is unsigned and unknown, so Windows sees it as a potential risk. On Windows 10 the default setting is to show this dialog, but since Windows Server is built to be more secure, it’s most likely the default setting is to just block and not show the dialog. I don’t use Windows Server so cannot comment on how to resolve, but I am pretty certain this is your problem.

[rightguys]

Okay. I already have Windows Firewall disabled, but I will try and disable SmartScreen too. Thanks for the advice.

[markjw]

When was the new “Safely Auto Size Columns” added and what exactly does it do differently from “Auto Size Columns” ?

EDIT: Ok so I can partly answer this myself, comparing using Auto Size vs Safely Auto Size, for example on the ScreenMenuItems table, I can see some columns are set as nvarchar(MAX) as opposed to setting specific size on every column. I am guessing this is to reduce the amount of “auto resizing” that happens during use? @emre what is the difference regarding performance with safely vs standard auto size columns?

Auto Size Columns

Safely Auto Size Columns

@rightguys

I will try and disable SmartScreen too

Go to Windows Defender settings > App & browser control, it is likely this setting is at “Block”, set it to “Warn” then will be same as Windows 10.
