Hi, I'm just running through my Umbraco Level 1 course again, 5 months after I certified, as I now have an Umbraco site to build at last. The course used Umbraco 4.7 and Contour 1.1.7. I've just got to the part where I've installed Contour from the USB key we were given, have set permissions (on directories only) for "Network Service" and find that it looks as though it's installed correctly but when I create a new contact form, there are no fields present and no "Add Field" button either. Time has moved on since the course, I'm still using Contour 1.1.7 but with Umbraco 4.7.1. Are there now incompatibilities or have I missed something in the installation?
Having built a new Umbraco installation and installed Contour and gone through the Level 1 course I find that creating a new form still creates nothing. The Designer is blank except for the three links (Privious, Next, Create new form step). This happens no matter which form template is chosen (including "none"). The umbracoForms.lic file is correctly in the /bin directory.
I'm using the latest Umbraco install (4.7.1) and Contour 1.1.7 as supplied in the course resources.
I still can't get past this bit despite spending all day going through the whole course again to this point. Could someone please offer some advice?
Sorted, for those that come after. The issue appears to have been using Contour 1.1.7 in Umbraco 4.7.1. Using Contour 1.1.11 (latest version) it is sorted. However, it appears to be impossible to deinstall and reinstall on SQL CE at least as the reinstall fails when it tries to update the database as tables are already there. So I'm having to delete the installation totally, having saved master page, scripts, XSLT's and images and adding these into a new installation.

The licence file is correctly in the /bin folder, btw!

I've also tried installing against SQL CE and SQLExpress, both the same, no joy.
