Compare Problem

Brian DonahueBrian Donahue Posts: 6,590 Bronze 1
Hi John,

SQL Data Compare writes lots of temporary XML data in the folder pointed
to by your %TMP% environment variable. Since it's pointing to your personal
profile, I'd be surprised if this was a directory access error.

Could it be that the drive is actually running out of space? If it is,
you may want to go to your System Properties and change the location of your
%TMP% environment variable.

    Hi John-Arne,

    Do you use that dodgy 1.1.4322.510 version of .Net Framework? That's
    usually responsible for flaky (inconsistent) behaviour in SQL Bundle.
