The ORM Foundation

You can uninstall NORMA from within Windows. You also have to uninstall PLiX.  On my Win 10 Pro installation, I type "uninstall" in the search box at the bottom left of the main windows page.  This gives a link to "Add or remove programs" in System Settings. You can also go directly to "Settings" and ...

NORMA stores ORM files in XML format, so what's happening is that "for some reason" your NORMA installation is not processing the XML file correctly. Please let me know what happens if you try to open an existing ORM file such as the "talent agency" file that you can download from ...

 Hi Jim, I have sent you a link from where you can download a recent build of NORMA for VS2017. Hope this helps. Ken

 "the latest available download of NORMA does not seem to work with either." What do you mean by "the latest available download" ?   I replied to the email you sent on 12 October at 0841 with a link for the NORMA 2017 download. I will resend the link. Ken   

 It would help a lot of people if you could follow up with a short post about your experiences of installing VS and NORMA on a Mac.  Good luck Ken 

 Here is Part 2. NORMA helps you to detect errors which is why it is much betterto use NORMA to design object-role models than a simple drawing tool.  For example, when I added a subset constraint that is similarto your item 7, the NORMA error message pointed out that this subset constraintis already implied by other constraints in the ...

 Hi Nicola, Here is part one of my response: I have found that unnecessarily complex models can lead to errors, so I always use elementary facts until the domainrequirements force me to use something more complex. I used this principle to designthe simpler version of your model that is shown below.   With NORMA you also get an ...

I cannot test Visual Studio for Mac because I don't have a Mac. However, NORMA runs under Visual Studio so it "should" work with Visual Studio for Mac.
