Sql Compare error on startup

• 
  Hi Sean,
  
  Can I ask which version of .NET you have installed? We have been encountering problems with DevExpress when .NET 1.1 is not installed.
  
  See this post for more details: http://www.red-gate.com/messageboard/vi ... 5517#15517
  
  Regards,
  
  Jonathan

  Hi there,
  
  would it be possible for you to capture a stack trace of the crash by hitting debug? I strongly suspect a problem with some 3rd party components, but we can't tell for sure without more details.
  
  Many thanks,

  When I start the debugger, it gives a second exception:

  Additional information: The type initializer for "RedGate.SQL.Shared.SQLServerInstances" threw an exception.
  
  Stack trace is as follows:

  I have reinstalled .net 1.1 but that has not fixed the problem.

  Hi,
  
  we are investigatin why the code that retrieves the list of available SQL Servers might be throwing an exception. This is not a bug that we have encountered before. Please bear with us as we try to get to the bottom of the problem.
  
  Many thanks,

  Hi,
  
  could you try out the SQL Compare 6 beta and see of the same problem occurs? SQL Compare 6 is a .NET 2.0 build and may well not exhibit the same phenomena.
  
  Details at http://www.red-gate.com/MessageBoard/viewforum.php?f=65
  
  Thanks,

  That works.
  
  Thanks

  Sean - I'm not sure whether using the v6 beta is a valid solution for you, but if not, please can you log a call with our support desk - support@red-gate.com, and someone will look in to what's possible with 5.3.
  
  Thanks, Nick

  I am receiving the same problem, even after uninstalling/reinstalling. I am also using Vista. Vista contains .Net 2.0 and 3.0 built in to the operating system, and I have additionally installed 1.1. The interesting thing is, the software worked for months and months before mysteriously stopping. I can't correlate it with anything I have done to the system, either.
  
  I am going to try 6.0 beta, and as long as the beta doesn't corrupt my databases, that will suffice for me. However, it would be worth looking into the problem.

  shadowbob,
  
  Can let us know if the beta solves this issue. We are fairly sure that it should, but would like to know just incase.
  
  Thanks,

  Jonathan,
  
  6.0 beta definitely solved the issue. My only problem now is, the beta has expired! And since 5 doesn't work, I've hit a wall. I need a working version of this product!

  Shadowbob,
  
  Sorry about this, we had hoped that there would be a bit over lap between the beta and final release. However, the final testing of SQL Compare 6 has ran on a bit longer. It is nearly complete and we should have the final version out shortly.
  
  Once again sorry about the delay,
  
  Regards,
  
  Jonathan
