You’re on Windows, right?

Not 100% sure of my memory here, but this may be the result of a Standard installation. You need to update your installation with the Development Client for SPoD. I recommend you use a Custom installation so that you can also include the Object Compare option - very handy, especially in a SPoD environment.

You’re right. You have to do a custom installation if you want to use SPoD.
