OK, thanks for these.

Yes, it would appear to be installed correctly.

I worked through the first tutorial, and finally got it to run  
without errors, but my data does not seem to be saved or retrieved.

Ii consulted the V4REV_Reference but it just made me even more  
confused. I can't find a VComponents folder or a Revolution/Contents  
folder or the Valentina Kernel.pdf.  I would also be interested in  
reading the ValentinaSQL.pdf and ExampleGuide.pdf but they are  
missing too.

My goal is to distribute apps that several users can use on a server
or locally with the db on a server. What are the royalties and
installation issues associated with this?

I do not see this anywhere on

I agree.

Is there a Valentina Studio for v2? If so, how do I get it?

Google could not find any references to DB Library from Trevor  
Devore. Do you have a link?
