Re: [XMLPipeDB-developer] Potential GMBuilder Windows 7 fix?

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

Hi,

I went ahead and installed the package (for 32-bit, it wouldn't let 
me install the 64-bit version because I only have 32-bit Office 
installed).  The installation completed OK.

However, when I went to export a gdb, I got the exact same error as 
before, so this did not fix the problem, unfortunately.

Best,
Kam
