I get an error about instance of an object. I am downloading now Win 8 Pro and in the compatibility check the installer told me that VS2010 is not compatible with Win 8. When I finish I let you know what happens.

This entire week we have been going over every possible enhancement request that we have heard of for each area to make sure that no valid enhancements are missed. All will be revealed in time. But this is a huge release and we will be releasing some new products as well that are not currently available. We are going to release things in phases, one of the first being the DDT. We will be updated the website as well as a new blog area so you guys can see the progress. There will also be some video blogs showing to features, etc. Stay tuned...we are on it.

When running Phase 1 of 2 of the Installer, a windows appears telling that the Strataframe Installer has stopped working. I click on close but then the phase 2 of 2 continues installing without problem and finishes as if it installed ok. Then when trying to run the examples module I also get a program stopped working message and it crashes. When opening VS2010 (it opens despite the fact that the Windows 8 installer told me that it was incompatible) I get a message about Strataframe addin manager failed to load. I did it using a Microsoft account (Safe PC mode) and using a local account. Tried to run it as administrator and in Win 7 compatibility mode, but the same results. So no luck for now.

Now my projects are ok both in VS2010 and VS2012. Soooo, as far as I tested, Strataframe 1.7.6.0 works on Windows 8 Pro with SQL Server Express 2012 both in VS2010 and VS2012. GOOD!!!!

Group: StrataFrame Developers Posts: 6.6K, Visits: 6.9K	Good to hear, Hugo. I have been running Windows 8 and VS 2012 for a while and so far there are pros and cons. There are more cons on Windows 8, such as the ridiculous permission issues. They are trying to stop viruses, okay I get that, but sheesh, it took a while to get everything lined up where I could work. I still get the occasional, "Access Denied" and I am a Domain Admin! As for VS 2012, there are some issues with the colors (too monochrome) that can be corrected with the Theme plug-in for VS 2012. The pending changes dialog for the Team Explorer is awful....way more energy to work from. Also, the icons are all the same color and look virtually the same in the Solution Explorer, so it is hard to quickly spot certain code files. There are some good things about both as well. I think in the end, both will be far better, but it is like anything else, you have to get things "tweaked" to your liking a bit. Happy coding!
