I currently evaluating the framework and I am trying to run the DevExpress samples. It seems that those are build with the DevExpress 6.3.3, while I have installed 7.1.6.
Is there a way of running them without re-installing 6.3.3?
Thank you for your time,

Thank you all for your responses.
I have managed to solve most of the problems real fast. And I can see that with StrataFrame we can work really fast and focus on our business logic. If it all prooves to be quite stable in time, it is going to be a huge relieve.
Another thing I am trying to solve now is the cooperation of StrataFrame with CAB. The only issues I can see is that CAB works with UserControls instead of forms. This should be easy since StrataFrame has already an SF UserControl template.
Also the Application object is different. CAB required application objects to inherit from certain classes, while Strata needs some events and methods.
Are you familiar with CAB? Do you work with CAB? Any of your customers do? Do you think we might have any problems with that?
Thank you once again
StrataFrame will work with the CAB (Composite UI Application Block for those who are wondering) as it is written in .NET 2.0. We do not spend a lot of time in it nor does anyone that comes to mind at the moment. However, I can tell you from vast experience how to create user controls and then implement that SF user control in another environment that it works quite well.
If you run into the need to use the BOTranslations in a situation where a user control is dropped on another user control before the next update, let me know. We have recently made some changes to the BOTranslations as is relates to the user control which allows the translations to nest themselves inside of other controls rather than on a form. You will know pretty quick if you run into. In that instance I can post the assemblies for you. We are planning to get a new update out fairly soon so it may end up being a mute point.
