Re: [XMLPipeDB-developer] windows 7 issue

[Kam D. <kda...@lm...>]

Hi,

Sounds good.  I tried the vista.bat, but it won't open the program, 
so I'll wait for the update on Windows 7.  In the meantime, I can 
still test on XP.

The progress bar thing was more of a "I don't know how this is 
supposed to look" type thing.  I've just never seen a behavior like 
that before.  I think it's fine--it conveys that something is 
happening to the user and that he/she should wait.

Cheers,
Kam
