SQL Server Modeling CTP (November 2009 Release 3) for Visual Studio RTM Now Available

Question

A update of the SQL Server Modeling CTP (November 2009) that's compatible with the official (RTM) release of Visual Studio 2010 is now available on the Microsoft Download Center.  This release is strictly an updated version of the original November 2009 CTP release to support the final release of Visual Studio 2010 and .NET Framework 4.

SQL Server Modeling Nov09 CTP Release 3 - http://go.microsoft.com/?linkid=9648442

Release Notes – http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=165497

 

Recommended Uninstall/Install Order

We highly recommend you uninstall and install in the following order.

1.       Uninstall any existing SQL Server Modeling CTP from Add and Remove Programs

2.       Uninstall Visual Studio 2010 and .NET Framework 4 Beta 2 or RC from Add and Remove Programs

3.       Install Visual Studio 2010 and .NET Framework 4

4.       Install the SQL Server Modeling November 2009 CTP Release 3.

 

If you are unable to uninstall SQL Server Modeling CTP from Add and Remove Programs for any reason, you can remove each component using the following command lines.  You need to run all three in order to completely remove SQL Server Modeling CTP so you can install the new CTP:

M Tools:

Msiexec /x {B7EE8AF2-3DCC-4AFE-8BD2-5A6CE9E85B3A}

Quadrant:

Msiexec /x {61F3728B-1A7D-4dd8-88A5-001CBB9D2CFA}

Domains:

Msiexec /x {11DA75C8-10AB-4288-A1BB-B3C2593524A7}

Note: These steps will not remove the SQL Server Modeling CTP entry in Add and Remove Programs but you will be able to install the new CTP.

Thank you and enjoy Visual Studio 2010!

Answer 1

Hi!

Just downloaded it but I can't find the "mg.exe" tool anymore.. Was it removed / replaced / renamed? How can I compile my grammar files now?

Thank you

Answer 2

The mg.exe capabilities are now directly incorporated into m.exe.

By the way, we generally don't monitor questions asked within informational threads like this. It works better to post a new question as those show themselves much better on the forum here.
