Hi,
First thing I noticed after downloading the June 2007 CTP is that there are several installation files. There are 3 .msi files and a setup.exe file. (BTW there were no prior instances of NORMA, PLIX, or DSL tools on the machine used). I tried the setup.exe file first - why not? This installed the DSLTools, but ended the NORMA install because PLIX had not be installed. The message said to add PLIX and reinstall. I used the PLIX.msi to install that, and reran the setup.exe - everything went through. So, why not add PLIX installation to to setup.exe?
As expected the installation created a folder, in the Program Files folder, called Neumont. This folder has PLIX and NORMA sub-folders. Be sure to look in these for some documentation.
Creating a Windows Application project as a base, I added a new ORM item as a test. Bringing up the ORM item, I had to Rt. click in the work pane to bring up the ORM Tool Windows context menu - so that I could see the ORM Fact Editor, ORM Verbalization Browser, etc.... I don't recall having to add them in before. The placement/behavior once added seems more stable than earlier releases.
After creating a very simple model, I generated an SQL Server DDL script (and supporting files). Haven't looked at the script to see if earlier faults were still present, but that's for later. So, installation, ORM model creation and DDL generation went through without much fuss. BRN..
