Errors when installing Dropthings V2.3.2

[GoogleCodeExporter]

I downloaded Dropthings from http://dropthings.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/
According to the read.me, I installed the software but encountered 2 problems:

Wrong database version
*****************************
According to readme.txt a database  "SQL Server Express 2005" or "SWL
Server 2005" is required.
When I start the application, I get the following error:

Error occured loading the page. Please ensure you have run the Setup page.
System.Data.SqlClient.SqlException: The database
'...\DROPTHINGS_V232\DROPTHINGS\APP_DATA\DROPTHINGS.MDF' cannot be opened
because it is version 655.
This server supports version 612 and earlier. A downgrade path is not
supported.
Could not open new database 'C:\USERS\ROGER\DOCUMENTS\VISUAL STUDIO
2008\PROJECTS\DROPTHINGS_V232\DROPTHINGS\APP_DATA\DROPTHINGS.MDF'. CREATE
DATABASE is aborted.

To my opinion, this error occurs because the downloaded database is "SQL
Server 2008" and not "SQL Server 2005"
("http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/sqlexpress/thread/01ed3b1c-6f29-
4518-a3a4-e4e35decc05f/")

-> Question: Does someone have a database available for SQL server 2005
that can be used for V2.3.2?

Namespace "WebTesting" does not exist
************************************************
When compiling the solution, I get 71 errors because the namespace
WebTesting is not available
This namespace exists in the "Visual Studio Team Edition" but I use "Visual
Studio 2008 Prof"
My workaoround existed in Unloading the project "Dropthings.Test"

-> Question: Could someone modify the required versions of VS in
"Readme.txt" respectively add my workaround for other users

For SQLServer 2005 you could create database with the scripts join to this 
messages.
1 edit the script : dropthings_database.sql and change the path of the database 
then 
run the script
2 run the script : dropthings_tables_and_views.sql
3 run the script : dropthings_procs.sql
4 run the script : dropthings_datas.sql

Thats all.

Thanks for the scripts....thought this project was dead....Did any get this

This project is not dead :-) and dropthings is working well.
Where did you see negative posts ? here ? It's normal "Issues" is there to say 
what 
works or not so that we can correct and improve Dropthings
