Dear Ivan,

Thank you for your reply. I think that I am doing exactly what you suggest. The batch file is copying the dlls to the proper location and by using gacutil I am registering to GAC area. Could you please check the batch file?

for %%x in (*.DLL) do "%ProgramFiles(x86)%\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v7.0A\Bin\NETFX 4.0 Tools\gacutil.exe" -i "%%x" -f
for %%x in (*.DLL) do copy /Y "%%x" "%CommonProgramFiles%\MicroFour\StrataFrame"
for %%x in (*.DLL) do copy /Y "%%x" "%CommonProgramFiles(x86)%\MicroFour\StrataFrame"

I dont know how to access the data store directly (since the menu is not there) but by using the localization editor I checked that the data store is saved correctly and the localization projects are shown from the original location.

It is very important for us to work together in this project to meet the deadlines but we couldnt be able to manage it.

Could you please help us?

The message tells you that it can't find the built in Localization keys. I assume you are pointing your StrataFrame Data Store to the one installed on his machine. You should install SF on your machine, get it working, then if his DLLs are working fine after him changing and recompiling the source code, get his DLLs from his "C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\MicroFour\StrataFrame" and copy them to yours and drag them to your "C:\Windows\assembly" folder.

Let me be as clear as possible.

We are two developers. My boss installed Strataframe on a Windows Server 2003 PC (CPU is 32 bit Core2Duo). He used the Strataframe source code project, modified the source code and build new dlls. He managed to install these new dlls to the server by using a batch file similar to AfterBuild.bat. Everthing is working fine in this PC. The strataframe database is also located in this server.

I installed Strataframe on a Windows Server 2008 R2 PC. The Visual Studio 2010 contains the Strataframe menu.

In order to be able to work with the same project I have to install the new dlls. I took new dlls from him and used a similar AfterBuild.bat to register the new dlls. Here is my AfterBuild.bat:


for %%x in (*.DLL) do "%ProgramFiles(x86)%\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v7.0A\Bin\NETFX 4.0 Tools\gacutil.exe" -i "%%x" -f
for %%x in (*.DLL) do copy /Y "%%x" "%CommonProgramFiles%\MicroFour\StrataFrame"
for %%x in (*.DLL) do copy /Y "%%x" "%CommonProgramFiles(x86)%\MicroFour\StrataFrame"


After executing this batch file and try to open Visual Studio 2010 the following error appears:


ArgumentException
  The stream could not be evaluated because the resource could not be located.

Source     : MicroFour StrataFrame Base

Stack Trace:
   at MicroFour.StrataFrame.UI.Localization.CreateDataTableFromStream(Stream Input)

   at MicroFour.StrataFrame.AddIns.AddInManager.OnConnection(Object application, ext_ConnectMode connectMode, Object addInInst, Array& custom)



When I close the error, the visual studio starts but without the Strataframe tab. When I try to access a form using the new dlls I get an error:


The specified DataSourceKey [] was not found within the collection.


When I run Strataframe setup and choose modify and repair, I return back to the situation when I first installed Strataframe.

Could you please help us?
