Hi
We currently use the 2008 versions of DirectRT and Medialab. We were thinking of changing to DirectRT2010 while keeping Medialab2008. Will we be able to use DirectRT2010 in Medialab2008?
Thank you,
Philip

As for it working with MediaLab v2008, it looks like it's working problem free (assuming of course that DirectRT runs the same session problem free on its own). There have been a few reports of a delay in the startup/onset time it takes for an embedded DirectRT session to boot from within MediaLab but that seems so far to be the exception rather than the rule.
We will continue to monitor whether that is something that is continuing to occur but as we rely on user feedback, I can say for now that it seems like a safe combination. Of course, you are welcome to try it out on one of your machines in advance if you'd like to be extra-sure!

Note that MediaLab v2010 has now been released and is more stable than v2008 with Windows 7. Some users were experiencing crashes with MediaLab v2008 on Windows 7 but this has been resolved in v2010 and so far it seems to working great. So if you are planning to use MediaLab with DirectRT v2010 on Windows 7, yes, we would recommend also using the 2010 version of MediaLab. For XP, either version of MediaLab ought to be equally stable.
