Location?

Well I installed the toolbelt-wide upgrade to grab the toolkit and upgrade my other utilities.

A few questions:
The Sql Toolkit 6 directory is empty save for an html file explaining the basic use of the kit.
The SQL Compare 6 directory has
RedGate.SQL.Shared.dll version 6.0.0.95 and
RedGate.SQLCompare.Engine.dll version 6.0.0.928

while the SQL Data Compare 5 Directory has:
RedGate.SQL.Shared.dll version 5.4.0.5 and
RedGate.SQLCompare.Engine.dll version 5.4.0.22

It appears it has some other out dated assemblies. If I'm to develop an application utilizing the RedGate.DataCompare.Engine.dll, should I continue to reference the old versions of the SQL.Shared and SQLCompare.Engine assemblies? Or, can I go ahead and use those new versions with the old DataCompare.Engine assembly with no conflict?

(Not to mention a SQL Bundle 5 folder that has even older versions of the same assemblies (5.3))

Thanks!

Hi Alex,

The answer is, it depends. If you're developing an application using Data Compare, then you'll need to use all the 5.x.x.x DLLs; if you're developing using SQL Compare, use the 6.x.x.x series.

The reason for the versioning being out-of-sync is that we have, of course, released SQL Compare 6, but not yet SQL Data Compare 6 (watch this space - and drop me a PM if you're interested in being a beta tester!)

The SQL Bundle 5 folder is still present because we support "side by side" installations of major versions. This means you can still continue to use SQL Compare 5 after installing SQL Compare 6.

Hope that helps,
Robert
