I have a EntitySpaces Developer 2007 installed and I wanted to look at ASP.Net Demo code.
I found that it is can be download with trial version(Is it only place to download or I missed something?).

I decided to download the latest Beta version and installed it to a separate directory(Beta).
However when I re-generated my code (using MyGeneration project), it had compiler errors.
It seems that new class esPropertyDescriptor was introduced in the Beta, but is not known in previous release.
I fixed the problem by re-installing my original EntitySpaces Developer 2007 release.

The problem was that Beta installation overwrote EntitySpaces templates in ProgramFiles\MyGeneration folder. 

It will be good if beta versions install templates in EntitySpacesBetaNNN folder of MyGeneration. Alternatively installer could give an option to specify directory for templates.

Yes, you are right, we do plan to change this, it will be optional during install, but it probably wont make this release, it will be there for ES2008 for sure. As a side note have you ever considering submitting your blog to http://www.enderminh.com/netdev/ ?

As far as using the beta and production versions of EntitySpaces side-by-side, Scott posted a work-around:

And, I added a few gotchas to look out for:

BTW, according to its release schedule posted on SourceForge, MyGeneration 1.3 will do away its side-by-side restriction, as well.

Almost forgot... as a customer, you do not have to download the Trial to get the latest beta. They are located on the Products -> Downloads menu page. You'll see them in the same EntitySpaces Developer forum where you downloaded the 0913 production release. You just need to login with the username used during the purchase in order to access the forum.
