Oops, not only did I speak too soon but I blazed through an error window in the setup without realizing it. If I may say, this window (see attachment) is rather innocent looking for an error window! So I'm still SDKless. This is in my application logs: Windows Installer installed the product. Produc...

Randy, bingo! I took the .reg I had exported from my 32 bit development system and replaced all the paths of the form "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\VisualStudio\9.0" with "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\VisualStudio\9.0" and merged it into the registry...

Thanks for the prompt and detailed reply! I did as suggested, creating a registry entry under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\VisualStudio\9.0 for InstallDir. Since installing VS2010 apparently creates a folder C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0\Common7\IDE [yes, I'm on a 64 bi...

I am building a clean development computer since my old one is sorely underpowered. I installed Visual Studio 2010 which is what I use for all development on my current dev machine. I then went to install the latest version of the SoftPro SDK (2.6.40705.321 sp 12.1) and it kindly pops up the message...

It turns out the problem was due to the user having the window pinned in their UI. After the window class was unregistered the SPS UI would still try to load the window since it was pinned. The fix was to 1) unregister the current package 2) Regiser an old instance of the package that still had the ...

The tool window ended up being a bad choice for this UI since it was really too wide for a tool window so we switched to a more conventional editor so the UI gets its own tab. Whe...

If you open SPAdmin tab in SoftPro Select and then invoke Managers and select Policy in the Manager List you are presented with a list of policies. In our case we have multiple underwriters (we're an agency) so we have numerous policies prefixed with an underwriter code. Select one of the policies t...

John, I cannot thank you enough for your candid answer! It's much better than a candy-coated but misleading reply. I think this is happening so infrequently that we can address it by having humans intervene when the problem arises--we have a report that catches this situation when it occurs so it's ...

I wasn't sure how to search for any past questions related to this topic since "Policy ID" brings back all kinds of stuff so I apologize for any duplication! Here's my question: For a Policy object that has been created and been assigned a GUID as its ID field value in the database, is the...

We implement our own rate calculator via a custom package and it provides more robust validation than SoftPro's own internal logic. However, SoftPro's "prior coverage exceeds owner coverage" warning message fires quite frequently even when our package has already taken this into account an...
