I’m currently studying for the 70-536 on my way towards MCTS certification.
I have the self-paced training kit and thought I’d do the Training Kit Exam Prep “Powered by MeasureUp”
Things go without technical issues until I get to scoring.
Then I am greeted with:
---------------------------
Application Message
---------------------------
An unanticipated error has occurred in the application.InsertScoreHistory
[Microsoft OLE DB Provider for ODBC Drivers] [3604] [Microsoft][ODBC Microsoft Access Driver] Syntax error in date in query expression '#30.11.2009 21:51:40#'.
---------------------------
OK Cancel
---------------------------
Trying to review a particular answer fails with:
---------------------------
Application Message
---------------------------
An unanticipated error has occurred in the application.GoToQuestionSelected
[Microsoft.VisualBasic] [13] Conversion from string "7." to type 'Short' is not valid.
---------------------------
OK Cancel
---------------------------
I then eventually end up at the FAQ page at MeasureUp and find
“I'm receiving Error: Mismatch 13.
In order for tests to display correctly, your computer's regional settings should be set to English (United States).
In the control panel, please double click on the icon labeled Regional Settings. Please choose English (United States), and click the box that says "use default properties for this input locale."
Alternatively, in the regional settings, look at the Currency tab. If it is set the decimal symbol to . (dot) instead of , (coma), that may be enough to get it working properly.
If the trouble persists, try setting the keyboard language layout to English (United States). In the control panel, double click on the icon labeled "Keyboard". Then click on the tab labeled input locales. Select the Add button. And then choose English (United States) as the input locale.”
W T F !?!
It’s kinda ironic that one of the skills measured is “Implementing globalization, … in a .NET Framework application”
What’s even more tragic is that if I actually DO change to en-us, trying to start a new test fails, this time with:
---------------------------
Application Message
---------------------------
An unanticipated error has occurred in the application.PreviousSessionTestRecord
[Microsoft.VisualBasic] [13] Conversion from string "30.11.2009 21:58:26" to type 'Date' is not valid.

I just hit this issue. Ridiculous.
PS: to fix the second issue (non-English test history preventing you from starting a new English test), I deleted the files in "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Press Training Kit Exam Prep\Tests" that were created today.
After more than 2 year the problem still exists!!! I run into this issue today with the tests I bought! Instead of fixing the problem MeasureUp removed the FAQ regarding this problem from there webpage!!!
