I have been round and round trying to figure out why I cannot get StrataFrame v1.6.5 (release as of yesterday) installed.



The installation goes through without a hitch however when opening Visual Studio 2008, I get this error:



The Add-In 'StrataFrame Add-In Manager' failed to load or caused an exception.

StrataFrame2008.AddIn



Message: The system cannot find the file specified.

Number: 80070002





I believe this may be due to me running Vista x64?

I've tried copying the files from Program Files (x86) to the Program Files location and the other way around. (Get other errors when doing that...)

I've installed, uninstalled, re-installed and checked the GAC making sure I didn't have any old references.

I've tried modifying the AddIn file to reflect both locations, and nothing seems to work so I figured it was time to ask for help!



What can I do to get this installed and functioning?

I must've been tired last night when I tried resolving this last night or something and didn't double check myself.

After checking everything you mentioned and short of installing & compiling the source, on a whim, I modified the AddIn file again and changed the Assembly reference location to reflect the Program Files (x86) location. This fixed the issue and everything seems to work.



I DID encounter a few issues however after I uninstalled previously...

During the uinstall, this error came up:



Error occurred when removing templates...

Could not find a part of the path 'C:\Windows\system32\ItemTemplates'.



And not sure if this is related or not, but Visual Studio would still show the Project templates (though it would just tell me it couldn't find them) when opening the New Project dialog after uinstalling & manually removing any visible trace of StrataFrame and any reference to MicroFour that I could find on the computer.



Thanks for the help!

Hmm...I will see if I can reproduce, but this path comes from the registry .  But all the same, I will be testing on the x64 OS and I will see if this comes up as well.  Thanks.
