You are correct Michael, that is causing the problem. Time does fly! We'll be here when you're ready to get going again!

Thanks for the reply. I think I may see what the issue was yesterday. It was the end of my license period. (Hard to believe it's been a year. A long term contract came along not long afterward and I haven't had much time to learn the product). If that was indeed the issue I will look into renewing my license, or more likely waiting until the work contract ends and renewing then.

Michael,



Something weird is going on. You don't need to have the license installed to access you account and hence the download section. My standard mode is to download on some other machine than my develop machine, then access that other machine via my internal network to do install on development machine. The download machine does not have SF, VS or any other development tool installed. Let me check and make sure your account doesn't have something weird going on, which is causing the download area to be unavailable. Once you get access to that, and get the latest version downloaded, we can figure out why it's not installing correctly.

I am not sure if it was 1.7.0.7 or 1.7.0.6. In any case I continue to be thwarted. When I log into strataframe.net on the 64 bit machine nothing is listed in the Downloads section, which IIRC is the only place the 1.7.0.7 beta version is available. My guess is that is because I have not activated the license on this (64 bit) machine. Is is deactivated on the old machine. Unfortunately, when I click Manual Activation on the web site it says "Coming soon...." So I can't activate the version I need without downloading, and can't download it without activating -- a Catch 22. For now I am just going to put all thoughts of StrataFrame aside and come back to it another time. Or not. That sounds like a sour attitude but that's what happens when you pay $700 for software and can't even get it to install correctly.

Yep, we have it running this way on many machines.

Are you sure you are using the latest version, 1.7.0.7?

I wish that were the case but unfortunately it does not seem to be the case. Have you or anyone else here successfully installed SF on a machine with VS 2010 and no prior versions installed?

Mike.

It looks like you had it installed before, then when changing machine you faced some issues.

You should be able to install it right now with VS 2005, 2008 or 2010.

My need for StrataFrame is not immediate. Hopefully when I am ready to use it it will be current with the latest release of VS with no backward dependencies.

I started over fresh and got this error dialog:



Whoops, can't paste Windows screen image. It says "Missing prerequisites -- Visual Studio 2005 or 2008"

Hi Charles,



Yeah, I did that. I am not trying to develop on more than one machine. The idea is to migrate everything off the old one and StrataFrame is the last application. When my work contract winds down at the end of August I will give the whole thing another try.



PS -- LeBron who? ;-)
