The February 2007 CTP has given me a bunch of problems. I tried installing it and it said that the older versions needed to be removed. I went ahead and removed both the GAT and the GAX that I originally had and tried to install this one. It gives me an Unable to load MetaGuidancePackageInstaller.dll assembly error. Is there anything that we should be aware of? Any help in this matter would be highly appreciated.

Thank You

Hello,
I just wanted to point out that I un-installed everything with my Anti-Virus turned off and it seemed to clean up and then I re-installed the new extensions. The Anti-Virus seemed to be the case here. I may be wrong, but it worked on my box.

Thanks
