I recently upgraded to Windows 7. Now when I start VS 2008 there is an immediate dialog with error messages about StrataFrame. Sorry I do not have a screen shot -- it is on the computer at home. Since I also installed VS 2010, I want to unlock my license key from VS 2008. However, I cannot complete that dialog, probably because SF did not instantiate correctly.



What do I need to do to unlock the license key and reinstall SF in VS 2010?

I have no reason to hang onto VS 2008 and am going to go with just 2010.



Actually what I really need to do is migrate from one of my two main computers to the other. I have been going through all this trouble on the workhorse, which has been accumulating detritus for years. MSI installs and uninstalls have become particularly problematic. Last night the uninstall of VS 2008 aborted near the end. I had to delete the remaining files and registry entries by hand. Also, when I reinstalled StrataFrame, it did not create an SF menu pad in VS 2010. Isn't it still supposed to do that.



I used to use a handy dandy little tool from Microsoft called MSI Clean Up Uninstall, but it doesn't seem to work in Windows 7.



The box I plan to migrate to is practically a newborn. About all it has on it is Windows 7, SQL Server 2008, and VS 2010. The other issue is the hard drive on the main computer is only 160 GB, only about 30 GB free. It's time to make that one the spare and the other one the workhorse. All it will take is some time and a new video card to accommodate dual monitors.
