Re: Attachment #1

I'm going to try SF again - so I ran the installer for the latest version 2/15/07.

Got the attached error.

What does it mean?

What do I do next?

Re: Attachment #2

I clicked on Business Binding Source and got the attached error?

Very, very true Steve. Well said! Good examples are Trent and Ben (Chase, not me )

Hey Daneil;



I think Larry did a good job of pointing out why SF is such a great product. I'm with you, I graduated in 1981 and have gone through many products since then. When I started .Net I had come from Borland's Delphi (which has a great IDE), and I missed many things that should have been in VS. So, over one year I researched many (and I mean many hours), looking at many products and there were several points I looked for:

Architecture

Support

Cost

3-tier support



And guess what, this is where I landed. I'm responding to you, because I feel someone with your level of experience deserves some feedbacks from people like me who have been around.



I spend over a month asking questions (before I had spend a penny), and SF team answered my questions with full interest. The support is the BEST and I even signed up for the next month training to learn more.



Take care!

Thanks for the reply. It sounds like I did pretty much the same research that you did and I came to the same conclusion. On paper StrataFrame is near perfect. I've run into some problems (obviously unusual) in getting up and running, but the concept is so great that I'm not prepared to give up. I will keep trying until I get the problems resolved.



Again,thanks for the encouragement,

Dan

Hi Daniel.

Well, I wish I could tell you that I was only 22 years old and that I had never seen a punch card and FORTRAN in my life, but unfortunately it's not the case.

Not trying to be obvious, but if you are formating your HD (something I thought of telling you before, but didn't dare), I guess you could first try a basic installation with the requirements for the framework and see it running. Then you can go creating Restore Points in windows and build on the top of it.

Are you coming to the class on May? It looks like it is going to be very productive and fun!

Cheers.

I have mixed feeling (obviously) about reformatting. It takes so long to install (or remove) the various VS components and VS itself that it probably won't take any longer to start from scratch than to experiment around with trying various incremental removals and reinstalls.

I will consider your suggestion carefully before I do anything drastic.

Thanks,

Dan
