I'm attempting to install and activate SF on terminal server (windows 2003). The program bombs immediately. I deactivated my license(s) before attempting this (my dev machine and my backup dev machine both took a dive). See attached error dialog...

That could come from like 1000 different places and is definitely not much to go on in this case.  This is the message that appears when assemblies can't be found, .NET isn't loadedm etc.  In this case it looks like .NET is OK since it pulled back icon.  But I don't think that TS is the issue as I know we have a number of shops that run on TS machines...it could be a factor for sure, but SF will work on a TS machine.

You have any more clues you could throw my way?

Uh...no. Click on license activation and I get this message pretty much instantly. Any place else to look...log files?

Spoke too soon. I tried to debug it and I'm getting a file not found exception. SF UI assembly (or one of its dependencies).



First time SF has ever been installed on this machine.

There were no Microfour assemblies in the GAC. I tried a repair...no joy. I then just manually added the SF assemblies to the GAC. The license activation then worked and I'm good to go.



Thanks for the help!

OK, not out of the woods yet. I have no SF menu in VS. I've uninstalled and reinstalled (and then manually added microfour files back into GAC). When uninstalling there was an error related to not being able to find the VS 2008 template/addin folder. Any ideas?

You need to make sure that the StrataFrame2008.AddIn file is deployed and that all of the MicroFour files are in the common files folder.

Since you are using TS, you will need to make sure that the Documents And Settings\UserName\Application Data\Microsoft\MsEnvShared folder, you can see how to manually do that here: http://forum.strataframe.net/FindPost12852.aspx

Let me know if that doesn't get you going.

Where do I find the StrataFrame2008.AddIn? I tried using the "MicroFour StrataFrame AddIns.dll" from the "C:\Program Files\MicroFour\StrataFrame\Assemblies" folder, but that didn't do it. I do have templates, just no menu and no toolbox items.

Hey Greg!

Mine is under C:\Program Files\Common Files\MicroFour\StrataFrame.

Is it called StrataFrame2008.AddIn or MicroFour StrataFrame AddIns.dll? I don't have a StrataFrame2008.AddIn.
