Any issues with having other developers running prior versions of StrataFrame and taking their time to upgrade? We have some pretty mission-critical applications and I don't want to break their apps just because I want to be the first kid on the block with the latest release.&nbsp;<br/><br/><div>Thanks, and nice having the MF gang back in the saddle.&nbsp;Fri, 18 Nov 2011 09:52:47 GMTAlex Luyandohttp://forum.strataframe.net/FindPost30631.aspxGlad you got to the bottom of it, Alex!Fri, 18 Nov 2011 09:52:47 GMTTrent L. Taylorhttp://forum.strataframe.net/FindPost30617.aspxYou da man, Trent. Thanks.&nbsp;<br/><br/><div>And you were spot on re: reason for failure during the setup.&nbsp;Thu, 17 Nov 2011 17:41:08 GMTAlex Luyandohttp://forum.strataframe.net/FindPost30610.aspxJust sent you the license file.&nbsp; As for the sample database, it hasn't changed.&nbsp; So if you already have it loaded, it will be fine.&nbsp; If the SF update failed, then that would be something to investigate.&nbsp; The StrataFlix sample is more robust and what we will build off of in the future anyway.&nbsp; So you should be good to go once you get your license file.<br/><br/>Just FYI, you can look at the log file that is stored on the install directory to get the error and see why the deployment failed.&nbsp; I am willing to bet that it was a permissions issue or something along those lines.&nbsp; Possible a detached MDF or something.&nbsp; Either way, you should be able to get the error if you want more of a clue on this.Thu, 17 Nov 2011 14:30:32 GMTTrent L. Taylorhttp://forum.strataframe.net/FindPost30609.aspxUgh. So of course having problems with the install! :( Just sent in request for manual license file, as the Activation Client doesn't like me right now. There was also a problem with the setup stopping at the Deploy Sample Data step... included details in the same email.&nbsp;<br/><br/><div>...not off to a good start here...&nbsp;Thu, 17 Nov 2011 13:55:41 GMTAlex Luyandohttp://forum.strataframe.net/FindPost30608.aspxSounds good, Trent. And I'm now reading it as "your older SF apps won't work with the upgraded StrataFrame database" so I will definitely backup the old one and see if we can't get concensous on moving up all at once.&nbsp;Thu, 17 Nov 2011 11:05:44 GMTAlex Luyandohttp://forum.strataframe.net/FindPost30607.aspxWell, we have been using this release ourselves for a very long time.&nbsp; It is solid.&nbsp; But if you have older projects you want to leave on the older version, then one option would be to create a backup copy of the StrataFrame database and either keep it or create a new one that you upgrade to 1.7.3.5.&nbsp; This way you can migrate things over a project at a time if you need to and still swap between them using the data source connection for StrataFrame inside of Visual Studio.&nbsp; But in truth, it is always easier to move everything forward at once.<br/><br/>Backing the DB up is always a good idea though, no matter what! :)Thu, 17 Nov 2011 10:45:03 GMTTrent L. Taylorhttp://forum.strataframe.net/FindPost30605.aspxThanks guys. So I'm reading your posts as saying "prior versions of StrataFrame will still work against a 1.7.3.5-upgraded StrataFrame database." &nbsp;Clearly I'd prefer if everyone upgrades, but not everyone is an early adapter (and sometimes with good reason). That said seems you guys have always put out read-for-prime-time releases, even when they are marked as beta.&nbsp;<br/><br/><div>Thanks.&nbsp;Thu, 17 Nov 2011 08:53:50 GMTAlex Luyandohttp://forum.strataframe.net/FindPost30600.aspxAlex,<br/><br/>The suggestion Ivan made is a good one.&nbsp; Just FYI, in StrataFrame 2.0, you will be able to have BOTH version installed since we won't rely on SQL Server for meta-data and bindings.&nbsp; This is something that we have needed before as well. ;)Wed, 16 Nov 2011 10:30:30 GMTTrent L. Taylorhttp://forum.strataframe.net/FindPost30596.aspxI have been using both in different machines at the same time for different purposes. The change on the SF database will be the follow:<br/><br/><a href="http://forum.strataframe.net/FindPost30573.aspx">http://forum.strataframe.net/FindPost30573.aspx</a><br/><br/>So I guess you should be fine. And you can always downgrade if you want.Tue, 15 Nov 2011 18:26:08 GMTIvan George Borges
