Who Needs It
ESC|StackVision users who are submitting their quarterly reports in the XML format for third quarter 2008 will need to download and install ESC|StackVision Version 2.2 prior to generating and submitting their final XML EDR. A Service Pack will be issued in the coming weeks to reflect the latest changes to ECMPS Client Tool.
There are many added benefits beyond XML reporting enhancements in this release. However, installing StackVision Version 2.2 is not critical for non-XML EDR reporters. This enables you, at your discretion, to submit your third quarter reports first and then reap the benefits of StackVision Version 2.2 on your own timetable.
What You Need to Do
There are a few prerequisites to installing StackVision Version 2.2:
§ Microsoft® .NET 3.5 Framework or higher is required for both the server and ALL client machines
§ Microsoft® SQL Server 2005 Service Pack 2 (SP2) is required for the server
The upgrades listed above may be obtained easily and free of charge from Microsoft®. Links to the downloads are provided at the end of this message. Users accessing StackVision remotely via the Client Tool will also need to download and install the same .NET 3.5 Framework as installed on the server. Please note that some client computers may already have .NET 3.5 installed (e.g., EPA ECMPS tool requires .NET 3.5).
To help facilitate a smooth transition, the new installer checks for the required version of .NET Framework and requires that .NET 3.5 is installed prior to proceeding with the StackVision upgrade.
Verify the version listed for Microsoft .Net Framework on servers and clients by going to:Start → Control Panel → Add/Remove Programs
Please note, .NET 3.5 Framework cannot be installed on Windows 2000. This operating system (OS) does not meet the minimum requirements for StackVision. However, we are aware that some customers have installed the client software on machines with this OS. If you have a StackVision Client computer in this configuration, make sure you upgrade to Windows XP or Server 2003 prior to the installation of StackVision Version 2.2 to ensure that your client computer meets the requirements.
