SQL Compare Issue running on Vista

bdsutton

I've installed Compare and Data Compare on Vista and I can't even get it to load. I don't have any weird configuration on my machine. It is a very standard dev machine. Here are the details:

Can I ask which version of .NET you have installed? We have been encountering problems with DevExpress when .NET 1.1 is not installed.

See this post for more details: http://www.red-gate.com/messageboard/vi ... 5517#15517

It doesn't look like Vista includes 1.1 by default. So I loaded .Net 1.1 and SQL Compare and SQL Data Compare work fine now.

Thanks,
