I have installed Rainbow 2 alpha 3 twice.

The Installation of both executed perfectly.  Nice!  Good Job!  Thanks!!!!

One instance is Pre-Compiled
One Instance is Developer

On both...  (logged in as admin) When I go to Edit the origional opening page announcement, the FreeTextBox editor opens with this message:

FreeTextBox has not been correctly installed. To install FreeTextBox either:
(1) add a reference to FtbWebResource.axd in web.config:
<system.web>
<httpHandlers>
<add verb="GET"
path="FtbWebResource.axd"
type="FreeTextBoxControls.AssemblyResourceHandler, FreeTextBox" />
</httpHandlers>
</system.web>

(2) Save the FreeTextBox image and javascript files to a location on your website and set up FreeTextBox as follows
<FTB:FreeTextBox id="FreeTextBox1" SupportFolder="ftbfileslocation" JavaScriptLocation="ExternalFile" ButtonImagesLocation="ExternalFile" ToolbarImagesLocation="ExternalFile" ButtonImagesLocation="ExternalFile" runat="server" />

I checked #1 and the web.config is ok
On #2...  I have no idea what to check or do???

You people have done an awsome job on this conversion to DotNet 2.  Thankyou all for your efforts and hard work.

First of all let me say thank you for the support.  It seems like for 2 all you have to do is fine the current location [ or download the free text box files] and place it in a location under Rainbow say Rainbow\ThirdParty\FTC\ .  Then you must specify where this is.  I would also do this in web.config so whereever you ahve FTC defined it would use these default values so you dont have to write out

<FTB:FreeTextBox id="FreeTextBox1" SupportFolder="ftbfileslocation" JavaScriptLocation="ExternalFile" ButtonImagesLocation="ExternalFile" ToolbarImagesLocation="ExternalFile" ButtonImagesLocation="ExternalFile" runat="server" />

everytime you can just write out :

<FTB:FreeTextBox id="FreeTextBox1" runat="server" />

I dont know about you but I like the second way better :).  If you would like to be a rainbow 2.0 tester, we really need them.  You contribution would consist of using the releases and notating the problems and where you see we can make improvments.  A lot of users have already started and I want to extend the same welcome hand to them.

Have you found a fix for this.  I tried adding a ref in the http compress exclude list but it still didnt work.  The odd thing is that it worked in alpha 2 so I know its just something small.

No...  I did not get it to work.
I downloaded a newer version of the dll and installed it.  Still did not work.
In the HTML module I simply selected an alternate HTML editor as a temp resolv to the issue.
Maybe it should not be the default editor for the next alpha???

I agree.  For alpha 4 I think FCK v2 will be default.

fck is better in some parts. but it has no thumbails in picture upload. however changing fck as default will not solve the issue. instead of using newer version of ftb try with older one. ie 3.0.5 or earlier one.

I'm running into the same error, any solution for this ?
