OK this is what I think the situation is - tell me if I am right or wrong /mrgreen.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":D" border="0" alt="mrgreen.gif" />

1) ASGS was built on .NET 1.1, and was incompatible with .NET 2.0.
2) Vista SP1 pushes .NET 2.0 onto the system.
3) Therefore, Vista SP1 = no allegiance.
4) However, A new version of ASGS compatible with .NET 2.0 has since been released.
5) So, does this mean SP1 is OK to install now?

I only ask because I think I need .NET 2.0 installed to get SQL Server Express to install properly, but if I try to manually install .NET 2.0 it says that it is already installed as part of the operating system, which I don't think is true (for example, I can't see it on the add/remove program list but I can see .NET 1.1 on there).

Your list is not entirely correct (.net 3 was pushed in SP1 and it caused the problems). ASGS has no problems with any .net version though.

Your 4) is wrong.

The new ASGS is not built for .NET 2.0. It is built to be compatible to 2.0 SP1 (which broke 1.1 based Xenocode).

In short: yah, Alleg will work with Vista SP1 and no .NET Framework install will break it /wink.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=";)" border="0" alt="wink.gif" /> Closing.
