The ORM Foundation

While installing March CTP into VS2008 running on Vista, I got this message (which is graphic and I cannot paste) An error occurred during the installation of asembly 'ORMSolutions.ORMArchitect.Core.VS2008,version"1.0.;0.0",culture="newtral",publicKeyToken"957D5B7D5E79E25F", processorArchitecture="VSIL". ...

Much better, thanks

My problem is that 'NORMA' folder appears at the top, so that is where I start looking. 'NORMA the software' appears at the bottom.

I have a lot of trouble finding the latest NORMA version to download from the Library.  What am I doing wrong?  All the versions that appear first are Superceded :(

Interesting results: Since I have hidden the sample population errors, I go back to turn these error messages visble. The ErrorDisplay dialog indicates that they should be visible. But no error appears! So I open the Sample Population Editor window and work through all the Fact Types. None has any sample data now. This is what I wanted, but not ...

Now that you mention them, I still get no response from NORMA when I select a binary fact type and press 'ov' or <Alt>ov. Thanks, too, for letting me in on that strange new key that - now that you mention it - does look like a menu. Of course ...

I find that the most frequent 'Orientation' command that I use (Reverse Role Order) is last on the pop-up menu.  While truely a minor suggestion, I would prefer this command to be at the top of the menu, rather than the bottom. Thanks, Jim

Sorry for the wrong forum, and I don't know how to move it  If I add the relational view extension (and remove 'Map to Relational Model' and 'Map to Abstraction Model') it still crashes. If I add only 'Map to Abstraction Model' it does not crash. This is with the earlier build.  I'll install the ...
