    Hi Nidhal,

    Speculation states by 2011 Q2 but as with all software companies those dates usually change which is probably why you haven’t gotten an answer. They are in ramp up right now. Hope this helps.

    Thanks,
    Mico

    Hi Gurus, It is driving me crazy but I cannot install the
    fp 3.4 (enterprise). I get the follwing error message:
    BusinessObjects XI 3.0 setup error Error applying transforms.
    Verify that the transform paths are valid. I’ve googled a bit and
    apparently it has to do with windows installer keeping a wrong path
    in my registry. But I cannot find a solution, can anyone help me a
    bit further? I do need this fixpack (scorecard issues :-) ). Thanks
