The default 'custom program' example is actually Query Analyzer (that came with SQL Server 2000), not SQL Server Management Studio. So if you'd selected 'custom program' and don't have QA installed, it will fail to find it.
Application options should have defaulted to selecting the 2008 version of SSMS for you, though. Could you go to the Application Options dialog and check that the 2005 and 2008 SSMS radio buttons are enabled?
Custom Program was checked.
As stated before, when i first selected my script folder and compared it with database and then selected Synchronize Wizard it gave me 2 options
1. Create a Synchronization script
2. Synchronize using SQL Compare.
Open script in : isqlw.exe was default. / comments

Let me see if i understand the above statement with my situation. We create database using SQL Compare snapshot for version 1 and later we release version 2 with some table/stored procedures and view changes.
SQL Compare 8 will generate a 'change script' which i can run on version 1 database to become version 2 right?
I'm a bit unclear on this as SQL Compare could always generate a change script by comparing any kind of database with a snapshot - the change is that you used to only be able to directly change a script folder, whereas now you can create a change script based on one that can be used on a live database. By 'snapshot' do you mean 'set of scripts'?
No, I create a Snapshot file using SQL Compare and use that snapshot to create a new database using SQL Tool kit.
In any case, if you have any representation of Version 1 and Version 2 that SQL Compare can read, you can now generate a synchronization script for the differences between them that can be run on a live database, yes.
Ok. I did see the change script when trying to Synchronize. I did see an error unable to find isqlw.exe.
Even thought i do have SQL 2005 and SQL 2008 Developer Edition installed. maybe you need to set the path for it.
something like this [image] \Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\100\Tools\Binn\VSShell\Common7\IDE\Ssms.exe
I changed it and it worked. / comments

Top priority for me will be Commandline
SQLSnapper -sServer -dDatabase -uUser -pPwd -snp Snapshot path.
or even Config file will be great but i don't want to add user id or password in there.
I can create a utility to call SQLSnapper with command line parameters.
Thanks / comments

when RedGate released 6.0. I created my own utility [SnapshotCreator] to create snapshot because of the same reason Red Gate created SQLSnapper for.
The only problem i have with this SQLSnapper utility is that when i send this utility to customers I want them to see the utility is created by us and not RedGate.
If its possible to add config file to Show/Hide the Image and of course a commandline interface will be a big help.
for deployment for such small utility i use Inno Setup [freeware installer]
which is almost like a Self extractor. http://www.jrsoftware.org/isdl.php
If someone needs it i can send you the script file for it.
Thanks

Jonathan, Brian,
Thanks for the reply. I think i will go with both of your suggestions
1. I would like to know what are the commandline options to compare.
Pristine database with updated database. I will add this code to batch file which will run on all databases.
2. As Brian suggested, sample code that i can access generated HTML report. Please how i can do that.
Thanks
