Hi,

When I try to run the InstDSC command, this is the error I got.  I completely take out the .\ before the database servername.  Any help will be appreciated.  TIA

c:\Project\DShopping\Install>InstDSC.exe dmobile dotshoppingcart c:\dbdata c:\key mail.dmobile.com hoduong@hotmail.com

It failed when creating the new source category in your event log due to missing permission. Try running the cmd as administrator.

Thanks Lukezy for the reply.  I think that's the problem since I'm running it in Vista.  I have another question, Can I convert the 2.0 back to FW2 instead of the 3.5?

FW2? Do you mean Dotnet framework 2.0? If so, the answer is no since Linq is being used in a lot of places.
