Hi,
I have been using an older version of EO (DLL version 6.0.63.2) and Visual Studio 2005. Yesterday, I downloaded the latest version of EO web controls from your download link. When I tried to install the new version I was prompted to uninstall the previous version which I did. This process seemed to break all the links to the EO objects in the Visual Studio environment. When I continued to install the new version it seems that the broken links did not automatically restore in VS and instead I get the following message:
'Unable to initialize external designer module, please check the installation and verify that EO web.dll in your bin folder is the same as the installed one'
After checking the version of the dll file in the bin folder I found the old version (6.0.63.2) was still present. So I manually copied the latest dll file (version 7) into the bin folder and then ran VS again. But I get the same message ('Unable to initialize...'). I then checked again in the bin folder and the old version of the dll file (6.0.63.2) has AGAIN somehow managed to re-write itself back into the bin folder!
So, updating to the new version of EO web controls has created unexpected issues in VS 2005. Please help!
Many thanks.

Hi,
Make sure you go to your Solution Explorer -> Reference to delete the old EO.Web.dll from there, then right click, choose "Add Reference" and browse the new DLL. The reason is your project still remembers it uses EO.Web 6.0.63. So once you updated your system to 7.x, you need to update your project to use the new version as well.
Thanks!
