SQL Compare 6.2 hangs when loading

Joby

I have been using SQL Compare (great product) for quite a while. This afternoon when I start the app it hangs on the splash screen. I have uninstalled and re-installed no change.

Anyone have any other suggestions to try?

The two most likely causes of 6.2 hanging are:

1) Network printers that aren't currently attached - the DevExpress controls we use look for printers during their initialization and can sometimes hang if they can't contact some of the installed printers.

2) Project files with network locations that no longer exist - occasionally it will take a very long time to determine whether a path exists or not and might get stuck altogether. Try moving the contents of the project directory out to another directory temporarily.
