I decided it was time to put VS 2015 on my Developer's Machine. So, following what Edhy outlined in a previous topic I did the following:
1. Installed VS2015
2. Installed SF 1.7
3. Installed the SF VSIX and copied the 2 files AddIns and Extensibility into "C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\MicroFour\StrataFrame"
4. Then I used gacutil.exe to uninstall the 2 files using Developer Command Prompt in Admin Mode (which it said was successful)
5. Then I used gacuitl.exe to install the 2 files using Developer Command Prompt in Admin Mode (which it said was successful)

Now when I run VS 2015 the SF tools show up in the toolbox but when I try to create a new form the SF Templates are not there?

I looked in the Menu Item "Extensions and Updates" and Strataframe does not show up in the center pane?

Lost not sure what to do because it worked on my laptop when I did it a month ago.
One thing I do have on this machine I have VS 2013 already installed which did not have on my laptop.



TIA.

Will we ever receive a made for VS 2015 Install? Installing and getting the SF patch on my Win 10 VS 2015 dev environment seems to be a science project alone. I get it installed and one thing or another fails. I spend more time tinkering SF config than actual work. I guess my second question is, is this all for nothing as SF 2.0 has been promised for years now.

Hi All,

FYI, Ben was able to fix the issue with the Custom Business Binding Source, I just test it and it is working as expected, to update your StrataFrame installation the following worked for me just fine:
  1. From VS, uninstall the "MicroFour StrataFrame" extension from the "Tools->Extensions and Updates" menu.
  2. Download the new VSPackage.zip package from this thread: http://forum.strataframe.net/Topic33068.aspx
  3. Install the VS package MicroFour StrataFrame Package.vsix
  4. Copy the files MicroFour StrataFrame Extensibility.dll and MicroFour StrataFrame AddIns.dll from your zip file to the Common files MicroFour StrataFrame folder.  In my Windows 10 Pro x64, the path is C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\MicroFour\StrataFrame\ for x86 Windows should be C:\Program Files\Common Files\MicroFour\StrataFrame\
  5. Run the Developer Command Prompt for VS2015 as Administrator
  6. Uninstall old assemblies registration with the following commands:
    • gacutil.exe /uf "MicroFour StrataFrame AddIns"
    • gacutil.exe /uf "MicroFour StrataFrame Extensibility"
  7. Install and Force new assemblies registration from the Common Files folder with these commands:
    • gacutil.exe /if "%CommonProgramFiles(x86)%\MicroFour\StrataFrame\MicroFour StrataFrame AddIns.dll" /f
    • gacutil.exe /if "%CommonProgramFiles(x86)%\MicroFour\StrataFrame\MicroFour StrataFrame Extensibility.dll" /f
Michael, trust me, I do understand the frustrations that all these steps may cause, specially if at the end, it doesn't work for you, but if you follow the instructions carefully and open the VS Developer Command Prompt as Administrator, you will be done in no time.

Be aware that this update also fixes previous one since we are basically replacing the AddIns and Extensibility assemblies which contains all previous functionality.  So if you need to re-install StrataFrame later on, you will need to repeat this process after running the original installation, so keep these notes on a safe spot.

Good luck everybody and thanks again to Ben for the fixes.

Edited 7/22/2016: Reorganized the steps above to include step # 3.
