Hi Adam,
I downloaded the latest version of CuteChat yesterday (3rd November 07) and am having a little trouble installing within my project. I would like to get the 30 day demo working before purchasing.
I have ran the SQL script and created the required tables successfully. I also installed the demo site, configured IIS and got that working fine.
I run into trouble when I attempt to add the chat rooms to my project. I need to take advantage of the embed mode functionality and have followed the instructions provided.
* I copied the CuteSoft_Client folder to myproject root
* Copied required DLL's to my projects BIN folder
* Ran the SQL script to create the tables in my projects database
* Have not modified Webconfig as tables are created within projects database and should use existing connection string.
* Copied the global.ascx to my project root (and have renamed my old one and will merge at a later date so no code hicups here)
* Have created a blank test page within my project
* Added the following code to my blank test page...
<%
@ Page Language="C#" AutoEventWireup="true" CodeFile="chattest.aspx.cs" Inherits="chattest" %>
<%
@ Register TagPrefix="CuteChat" TagName="EmbedChannel" Src="CuteSoft_Client/CuteChat/EmbedChannel.ascx" %>

</script>
<CuteChat:EmbedChannel id="EmbedMessenger1" runat="server"></CuteChat:EmbedChannel>

The error I get when running the test is as follows...
The ConnectionString property has not been initialized.
Description: An unhandled exception occurred during the execution of the current web request. Please review the stack trace for more information about the error and where it originated in the code.

Hope you can help. I have probably missed something somehwere along the line! Just a thought but is it because I need to somehow create the chat rooms first with the database?
