There is this however: http://community.research.microsoft.com/forums/t/5067.aspx "I am trying to install ICE 1.3.5 on Windows 7 enterprise 32bit. Installation process fails with 'ICE requires .NET 3.5 SP1'." I'll pass on ICE. Autostitch does the job for me. And on that topic, it used to be time limited. It's been a very long time since I had to download the latest copy of it. -- John Corliss BS206. Because of all the Googlespam, I block all posts sent through Google Groups. I also block as many posts from anonymous remailers (like x-privat.org for eg.) as possible due to forgeries posted through them.

The only downside IMO >is that ICE requires that .NET stuff. I've used both too. Autostitch is quite good, but Hugin is rather too complex with dubious results. I tried to d/l ICE but cannot get the MS website to work properly using two different browsers; I'll keep trying. I read what I could on the MS website and saw NO mention of ICE requiring .NET - but that doesn't surprise me. Thanks for feedback... lol

Here's another panorama (originally two pictures, side by side) I took in Rio and stitched together with Autostitch. http://bayimg.com/cAnIKaACF.jpg Corcovado e Pao de Acucar hb (the REAL hummingbird) -- Franklin is the Queen of Forged Slime "All truth passes through three stages.
