I have two Dev environments, one cloud, one on-prem.  I just noticed the on-prem includes the 17 in the cloud, but has an additional 102!

Why the difference?  Should they be the same?  Should I leave them as is?  Thanks much.

    Are you sure that both are dev environments? For example, dev systems should contain -FormAdaptors packages.

    But non-dev environments should not contain FormAdaptors.

    My local dev VM contains the FormAdaptor packages.

    Hi Rodney,

    Are the versions of both environment the same? If could be the case that one of the environments is one of the first versions.

    Hi Nikolaos,

    My local VM does have a number of FormAdaptor packages.  However, my cloud does not.  I would have expected it the other way around.  My cloud is azure deployed (DEV/TEST) and newer (10.0.13).  I use the local VM for documenting procedures for team members, saving the cost of azure.  Our plan for the team is to use the azure environment.  Should I redeploy a newer azure dev environment to see if that includes the FormAdaptors packages?

    Thank you Nikolaos.

    Hi Andre,

    Thanks for your response.  You are on to it, the versions are not exactly the same 10.0.5 and 10.0.13.  I have also learned from another responder that Dev environments should contain FormAdaptor packages - which the 10.0.5 does, but 10.0.13 does not.  I may bring the 13 version up to 16 to and see if it has the FormAdaptor packages.  

    Thanks again Andre.

    Hi Rodney,

    The form adapter packages would be available in 10.0.13 as well. I would suggest you deploy a new Dev environment from LCS. In the meantime, you can download the latest VHD available on LCS, which will be 10.0.13 as well. Once both are deployed, you should be able to compare the modules in PackagesLocalDirectory. I can see around 130 in both the environments (locally hosted and cloud).
