Re: Spooled File Viewing in RDP 8.0

["Bob Cagle" <bcagle@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

OK, here's my path: C:\Program Files (x86)\SoftLanding\RSE
Extensions\eclipse\plugins\com.softlanding.rse.extensions_7.5.0.20101028
\META-INF

A little different because of the 64-bit OS.

The date on the MANIFEST.MF file is 10/29/2010.

I've seen that before, and it leans towards having the wrong version of
the plugin being loaded.
Verify the date on the following file:

C:\Program Files\SoftLanding\RSE
Extensions\eclipse\plugins\com.softlanding.rseextensions_7.5.0.20101028\
META-INF\MANIFEST.MF
