• To compare projects, the FactoryTalk View comparator requires a valid installation of SQL server (at least Express Edition). The version of the FactoryTalk View comparator must match the database version of the FactoryTalk View project.

• To perform uploads, ensure that a compatible version of the software is installed on the same machine where the server or an agent is running.
• To carry out uploads, the MasterService has to be launched as a an application and not as a service.
