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

[Don M. <djs...@ya...>]

The newest version of gmbuilder, 2.0b53, should have a new note included when 
getting a connection to the database. Although it will encounter the same error, 
the command line feedback should be slightly different. Another test on a 
Windows 7 box and screenshot of the error would be greatly appreciated.

Hi,

Sorry--it's still giving an error, I think it is the same, see attached 
screenshot.
