Under the section "Rules Evaluation"  there is an example ruleset and some explanation that describes how the evaluation should proceed.  The fourth bullet point makes this statement: Since Rule4 uses the value of A in its conditions, it is reevaluated.  It evaluates to true and its action is executing, setting B=5 ; Rule3 and Rule2 are not reevaluated since their conditions do not rely on the value of A ...Show All

• SQL Server Problem to install SQL Server 2005 CTP June edition...

  Hi When I tried to install, I kept getting the following problem with System Configuration Check: A previous installation required a reboot of the machine for changes to take effect.

  When I add manifest to my application it does not work on AMD Optron 64 Biit platform. But the same application when built without Manifest works fine.

In the application manifest, there is an element named <assemblyIdentity> which has a processorArchitecture attribute. <assemblyIdentity     version="1.0.0.0"     processorArchitecture="X86"     name="CompanyName.ProductName.YourApplication"     type="win32" /> Maybe you can try to replace the processorArchit ...Show All
