I am on Vista with Vs2005 & 2008. Never isntalled GAX before. I get a message box that says I don't have the right product installed. Using the trouble shooter I get the following log file:

Hi Chanan,

The log shows that you don't have installed GAX or GAT. Are you tried to install it? When you got the message that is not installed? When you tried to install other product?

jose.
