I recently migrated to a new machine running the 64 bit version of Windows 7. I ran into some problems with StrataFrame -- it would not let me register it as my licensed SF copy and then it did not uninstall cleanly (had to do most of it manually). Before I get into the nitty gritty of those things, is compatibility with 64 bit Windows 7 in general a known issue? If so, is there an update in the pipeline that will be fully compatible?

Hi Michael.

I've been running on Win7 64 for quite a while now without issues. One thing that might interfere is if you are not running as an administrator. Try that and let us know.

Hey Mike,



Also remember the SF license is keyed to the NIC address of the box you are on. So if the problem was that you couldn't register SF on the new box, it may have been you didn't deactivate your license on the old box first. Easily fixed by just going to the license manager on the old box ( on start menu ) and deactivating then trying again on the new box to activate.



If you are going to be developing on both boxes (or laptop and desktop) you can get a USB NIC for a couple bucks and just use that like a dongle.

Just adding that we run both Vista and Windows 7 64 bit with SF without issue. I do still RUN AS ADMINISTRATOR every time because when I forget to, something inevitably wont work right.

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? ;-)

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"

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.

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.

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?

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

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