[AG-TECH] 2.2 stability? Anyone gotten it to run?

[Brian Corrie]

Hi Randy,

This may or may not help. I was able to get 2.2 running on my laptop and 
connect to a 2.1.2 venue server fine. The one trick I needed to do was 
to remove the AccessGrid folder in the C:\Documents and 
Settings\bcorrie\Application Data\

Having this folder with 2.1.2 stuff in it seemed to confuse things and 
removing 2.1.2 does not clear this out. Note that you will want to grab 
your cert stuff out of that folder before you remove it 8-)

Before I removed this folder I had real trouble getting things to work. 
After removing it and doing a reinstall it seemed to work much better... 
I didn't stress test much but I could connect to venues and the services 
started up properly. By the way, this was with the beta release, not the 
current release...

Cheers,

Brian
