Here's a quick list of the major changes to SVS with this beta:

OS: We're supporting Sever 2008 and Vista SP1 with this release (still no capture on either)

SVSAdmin: You can now Import multiple VSAs at a time (it's a que).

Fixes (There are a few more then what I'm listing)

On a Windows Vista operating system, if one user logged off and another user logged, the SVS user variables were not loaded and specific sub-folders were not created for the second user. This has been fixed.

The SVSCMD executable can now reference a GUID when exporting a layer.

Multiple issues that caused blue screens were fixed.

Hello.

I think that I have found an fault in the software, upon installation from a usb key the installation fails, the only way I was able to get it to work was to copy it to the harddrive and running it from there. Hope that this problem will be fixed soon.

Best regards.

Brian Andersen.

Pls report back to the beta team

So I've tested this and haven't been able to duplicate the problem. Maybe there's some software on the system preventing installs via external drives but it's not anything directly caused by SVS.
