I've downloaded the trial version (1.4), ran the setup, and installation stopped. It says on the label that "An error occurred while deploying the data to the server.". Nothing happens, it is not giving a messagebox with error message, just it is stucked. I needed to close it from Task Manager.

Here are the steps:

Install Visual Studio Templates: OK
Build StrataFrame Database: OK
Deploy StrataFrame Data: Blue Arrow, I guess stuck here
Build Sample Databases: OK
Deploy Sample Data: Not Started

What I supposed to do? Any idea? I'm using VS2005Pro on WinXP, MSSQL2000 on Win2003.

In your website, the product looks great, just I wanted to test it before buy it.

Thanks in advance,

There was a problem in the 1.4 installation with the data being deployed on a computer with US English installed that had it's regional settings customized.  Dates formatted in the data were formatted according to region code 1033, and if a computer is installed with that language, and then the date format is changed, the data deployment fails.  That's the most common error for data deployment problems. 

The 1.4.1 installation uses invariant info to format the dates within the data, so there are no problems extracting the data and pushing it to the server with version 1.4.1.  Hope that helps
