This is a known problem for IDL 7.0 Alpha and Beta Testers. We are making an internal Tech Tip on this subject that will probably become a broadcast Email to our whole Alpha/Beta testing community. I paste here the basic content of the announcement:
"Proposed internal tech tip
--------------------------
Recent modifications to the IDL Workbench cause conflicts between the
Technology Preview releases and IDL 7.0. To avoid these conflicts, we
suggest you do the following:
- Completely uninstall any IDL 7.0 Technology Preview versions
you have on your system
- If you are using a 64-bit Windows installation, manually delete
the IDL 7.0 Start menu items that remain after you have
uninstalled the Technology Preview.
- Delete the .idl/itt/idlworkbench-config-idl70 directory.
- On Microsoft Windows systems, the .idl directory is found in
the "Documents and Settings/" directory.
- On Macintosh and UNIX systems, the .idl directory is found in
the directory specified by the user's $HOME environment variable.
Removing the configuration directory will remove any customizations
you may have made to the layout of the IDL Workbench, but will not
remove any IDL source files.
- Rename your IDL Workspace directory and create a new workspace
directory when you install the IDL 7.0 release version. If there
are IDL source code or other files in the old workspace directory,
you can import them into the new workspace directory using the
File->Import menu item. Once you have imported your files into
the new workspace directory, delete the old workspace directory.
