    Hi David, Would it be possible for you to include the the Build number or version number in the download file name? When I encounter the SDT zip file (perhaps on a client server), I never know which version it is, which essentially requires me to always re-download the latest version. I've also had a situation where I needed to use a specific version of the SDT, and it was impossible for me to find the same version to reinstall. Thanks, Steve

    Hi Steve Good idea. For now, look at the Debugger.txt file to read the version history. That will tell you the build. Also if the Dynamics GP registry settings are working correctly, the properties of the CNK file will also show the version and build numbers. David PS: It is always best to have the latest build as it has best functionality and no known issues (at the time of release). :-)
