(info) Packager may fail if you've installed Microsoft .net Framework 2.0 Beta

Brian Donahue

Hi Packager Users,

It's just come to our attention that the HTML interfaces that we use on
some of our products are affected by the .net Framework 2.0 Beta that
Microsoft includes with its' Visual Studio and SQL 'Express' products. In
SQL Packager and ANTS Profiler, the main window will disappear if you click
anywhere in it.

If you have installed any of Microsoft's 'Express' products, the
recommended action is to create a config file to force SQL Packager to use a
different version of the .net Framework. To do this, open the Red Gate SQL
Bundle folder, right-click and add a new text document. Call this
'RedGate.SQLPackager.UI.exe.config' and fill it in with the following:

<?xml version ="1.0"?>
<configuration>
<startup>
<supportedRuntime version="v1.1.4322" />
</startup>
</configuration>

...and save it. SQL Packager should now use Framework 1.1 rather than
the 2.0 Beta. Users who have Microsoft .net Framework 1.0 already installed
will not have this problem with SQL Packager.

If you have any questions, please contact support@red-gate.com, and we'd
be happy to answer any questions that you may have.
