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?

(see my answer on UT)



If the old "workhorse" has a 160gb drive it may not even be SATA ( i.e. still uses ribbon cable and old power connector ) Not good.



If the new box is SATA ( two wire cable, each plugging into MB, power connector has a size step down adaptor ) use that one.



Almost all new drives you can buy are SATA.

There still seems to be something funky going on. Even on a clean machine with VS 2010 newly installed, StrataFrame does not install itself as a menu bar in VS. ReSharper did so without a hitch, just like it used to do in VS 2008. Does SF no longer do this? Is there a new version in the pipeline that will integrate seamlessly with VS 2010?
