Hi guys –

 I did a baaad thing.  Decided to unpack the source code just to see what was under the hood.

Opened the project in VS 2008   - very interesting.  I may have hit build at some point early in – though I don’t believe I had changed anything.

 Close VS

 Now any attempt to open VS blows up as it tries to load SF   .

 Tried reinstalling 1.66 twice.  Modify and repair.  Didn’t get any errors until I say yes to open samples console after install

 FileNotFoundException

  Could not load file or assembly 'MicroFour StrataFrame Business, Version=1.6.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=99fe9917f71608a7' or one of its dependencies. The system cannot find the file specified.

Completely uninstall and reinstalled – same error

Obviously I made it mad and somehow trashed the business assembly and it is not being overwritten on a reinstall.

Guidance for this .NET idiot greatly appreciated

See you in Amarillo this summer – hope to be slightly less clueless by then – and a *lot* less clueless afterward …

We cover this the first day in the training class.  How to build the SF source and use it to debug, etc.  The bottom line is that you just had the GAC and the Common Files\MicroFour\StrataFrame out of sync....and sometimes you have to get out of VS and come back in before all is well.  But since you are both coming to class it will all make more sense once you see it in person I am sure.
