Im trying to download the demo for Stardraw design but it keeps failing when trying to download SQL server compact.



After trying to install that separately, it still won't install.

Hi Josh,
Please try this procedure:
  1. Uninstall Stardraw Design 7.3
  2. Uninstall Microsoft SQL Server Compact 4.0 SP1 x64 ENU
  3. Download and install Microsoft SQL Server Compact 4.0 SP1 from:
    http://www.microsoft.com/download/details.aspx?id=30709
  4. Download and install Stardraw Design 7.3 from:
    https://www.stardraw.com/sd7/downloads
Does this resolve the problem?

What do you see when you attempt to install Microsoft SQL Server Compact 4.0 SP1? A screengrab would be helpful.
Are you signed into Windows as a user with Administrative Privilege?

I am signed in as an admin


That is what I get when I try to install SQL Server.

Thanks for the information.
This is a system error, unrelated to Stardraw Design 7.3.
I suggest searching for a solution on Microsoft Windows sites relating to "error 25541. failed to open xml file", or refer to your IT department to address the problem with your system configuration.
