Orbeon Forms Builder Doesn't Work

This is my second post to this mailing list.  As a new user, I am unsure if this is getting out to the community but I do know I am receiving posts so I will take a different approach.  I’m simply asking two questions that anyone should be able to answer in just a few seconds.  The third question only applies if you use the Forms Builder.

 

Question #1:  Is anyone receiving this post (Yes or No)?

 

Question #2:  Does anyone out there use Orbeon Forms Builder or do you just code your xforms using a text editor and let Orbeon do the interpretive work for you?

 

Question #3:  If you use Orbeon Forms Builder, then what is the secret to getting it to work?  The reason I ask is that I have had horrible results with the Forms Builder (tried multiple versions including Beta version 3.7.1 and nightly builds) on a XAMPP environment running under Windows 2003 server.  I can certainly load this in a Linux environment but suspect I will have similar issues.

 

Would someone please be kind enough to respond?

Anyone having issues with the latest nightly build of Orbeon Forms Builder?  I have installed it on a Windows 2003 server running XAMPP (Apache, MySQL, PHP, Perl) with the Tomcat extension.  I can connect to the Orbeon application fine but many of the form controls do not appear in the controls panel when I try to build a form.  Additionally, the save, publish and test/review buttons will not work.  Any help would be appreciated.  Is there a functional version of Orbeon out there somewhere that I have missed.  Version 3.7.1 beta has similar issues.

 

Greg
