I'm trying to get NORMA working again after an odd Visual Studio 2005 error in version 8.0xxx, on winXP 2002, sp2 (I did the repair on the .NET framework 2.0 as suggested, and that is working again), also with the latest NORMA_VS-2007-11CTP.VS2005. removed plix, reinstalled it, removed 'Microsoft DSL Tools Redistributable' and reinstalled it. The NORMA setup even says it installed correctly (all three are installed according to the 'Add/remove' in the CP), but when I create a new project, and add a new item ORM file, even that works, but then upon opening, I neither can get the graphical interface nor the the ORM toolbox on the left-hand side become active. Instead of the pane to draw on, I get to see this:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<ormRoot:ORM2 xmlns:orm="http://schemas.neumont.edu/ORM/2006-04/ORMCore" xmlns:ormDiagram="http://schemas.neumont.edu/ORM/2006-04/ORMDiagram" xmlns:ormRoot="http://schemas.neumont.edu/ORM/2006-04/ORMRoot">
<orm:ORMModel id="modelId" Name="emmsad08Example"/>
<ormDiagram:ORMDiagram id="diagramId" IsCompleteView="false" Name="emmsad08Example" BaseFontName="Tahoma" BaseFontSize="0.0972222238779068">
<ormDiagram:Subject ref="modelId"/>
</ormDiagram:ORMDiagram>
</ormRoot:ORM2>
idem when I open previously created ORM diagrams (but then with a longer xml list).
I've tried various sequences of removing, repairing, (re)installing and rebooting, but to no avail. Any suggestions?
