Any problems deploying to Windows 2008 R2?

Question

When I install the November CTP on a Windows 2008 R2 box (UAC=off), and try to reference Microsoft.ComplexEventProcessing.EventTypeAttribute I get:

    The type or namespace name 'EventTypeField' could not be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?) 

I don't have the problem when I test the same code on a Windows 7 box.  Anyone have any pointers of things to look for that I must not have installed?

Thanks
Robert

Answer 1

Robert,

I believe that the EventTypeField attribute was dropped with the release of the November CTP (along with the attendant requirement to specifically decorate event types as such); you should be able to remove the [EventTypeField] attributes from your code and rebuild the project without any issues. 

The only reason I can figure you're not running into issues on a Windows 7 box is that there's an older (possibly August CTP) lying around that's being picked up by accident.

Regards,
Mark

Answer 2

Yep, that must be it, Mark.  When I look in object explorer between both win7 vs win2k8r2, the win2k8r2 side is missing EventTypeField.
It just seems odd that the windows 7 and windows 2008 have the same verison of this file:  v2.0.50727
(Microsoft.ComplexEventProcessing)
