I have a brand new laptop with Windows Vista and Visual Studio 2008 beta 2 installed.

The setup (StimulReportNet20) denies to install:

".. a programm required for this install to complete could not be run .."

All other tools I installed so far installed without problems.

Is there a new complete Setup coming up to handle this,
or is there a hint I can overcome this (of course without installing Visual Studio 2005 first)?

The version 2007.2 which will be released in the beginning of September, will be compatible with Vista and Orcas. Anyway if you are registered user, please contact and we will provide you with link for complete setup for Vista.

Installer makes the following actions:
1. Installs the following dlls into GAC:
Stimulsoft.Base.dll
Stimulsoft.Compression.dll
Stimulsoft.Controls.dll
Stimulsoft.Database.dll
Stimulsoft.Editor.dll
Stimulsoft.Report.dll
Stimulsoft.Report.Web.dll

You can do this manually via installer.exe (comes with StimulReport.Net) or from the Control Panel -> Administrative Tools -> Microsoft .NET Framework ... Configuration

2. Registers them in the ToolBox of the Visual Studio (also may be done manually)

3. Creates an associations with *.mrt,*.mdc, *.mrz, *.mdz files and the Designer.exe. This is not necessary for correct working of the component.

So it is enough to complete 1 and 2.

Thank you.
