The Strataframe menu is not displayed in the visaul studio menu, and when i try to use the add-in manager it shows that error:

---------------------------
Microsoft Visual Studio
---------------------------
The Add-in 'StrataFrame Add-In Manager' failed to load or caused an exception.
Would you like to remove this Add-in?
If you choose yes, the file it was loaded from, 'C:\Documents and Settings\Ricardo\Dados de aplicativos\Microsoft\MSEnvShared\Addins\MicroFour StrataFrame AddIns - To Deploy.AddIn', will be renamed.

Error Message: O sistema não pode encontrar o arquivo especificado. -> That means: The system could not find the file

Error number: 80070002
---------------------------
Yes   No

Someone please ! Thanks

Stefan,



I'm not sure whether you're environment variables are going to be the same as mine, but let's give this a try:



1. Open up the Run menu (Start -> Run).

2. Type '%APPDATA%' into the Open blank (without typing the quotes).

3. Click OK.

4. Tell me what path it opened.

5. In the folder, can you navigate to "Microsoft\MSEnvShared\AddIns\"?



Also, within Visual Studio, if you open up Tools -> AddIn Manager..., do you see "StrataFrame Add-In Manager" listed in there?

There I get an error, because Windows tryes to open 'C:\Dokumente'. The reak path is 'C:\Dokumente und Einstellungen\...'

Yes, I can see it, like it is described in the helpfile.

Tanks,

Stefan

Stefan,



Edit the .AddIn file and check the line that is labeled . The line should be this:



C:\Programme\Gemeinsame Dateien\MicroFour\StrataFrame\MicroFour StrataFrame AddIns.dll



Also, the line should be this:



1



I think that the "Common Files" wasn't replaced with "Gemeinsame Dateien" properly.



We're working on changing the install to dynamically create the .AddIn file since the file will not support the use of environment variables (%CommonProgramFiles%).

Hi Ben,

That was already what I have done befor. That was the solution for Ricardo, wasn't it?

After I have changed that, I hadn't got an error any more, but no Menu and no templates as well.

Thanks,

Stefan

Stefan,

We have made a change to the installation that will support other languages properly.  To get the latest build, login to the "My Account" are of the website (http://www.strataframe.net ) and download the Application Framework Setup (Pre-Release). 

Once this is installed, you will probably still be missing the templates.  We are going to make a change here as well, but need to get some information from you once you have the pre-release installed.

Just so you know, we are starting the process of localizing StrataFrame in German, which will include all of the editors and development environment.  This will also include the templates.  So we have a great desire to make sure that StrataFrame is works seamlessly in many differents languages, expecially German.

Thanks for your patience on this.

Hi Trend,

that sounds great! Give me another 40min, because I decided to reinstall VS first. I'll install StrataFrame immedietly then. If there are questions you have already, then ask please. I can answer them then right away, after installing.

Regards,

Stefan

Stefan,

I think we have worked through most of the issues.  The reason the menu wasn't showing up was because we assumed the menu would have an item named "Help."  Obviously this isn't the correct spelling in German.  We have resolved this issue for all languages.  The next order of business is the templates

Hi Trend,

Yes, thats right and you have choosen the right translation , 'cause the menu is running now!

Thanks very much!

Stefan

Stefan,

Do you have any templates available when you go to create a new project.  For example, if you create a new project, is there a StrataFrame Windows Application template available under VB or C#?

Hi Trend,

I am sorry, but there no templates of Strataframe at all.

Is'nt there some *.vsi files fir templates? I think in VS you can click on them to install them.
Maybe there are difficulties again with my German Windows and VS. If there are parameters in your setup wich contains any path names or others, Ican look it up for you.

I am off for an hour from now on!

Stefan

Stefan,

Look under the following path (will be slightly different since your paths will be mostly in German) and tell me what sub folders exist here.  In English, there is a single folder called "1033"  What do you have in your folder?  Thanks.

Hi Trend,

Ben mailed me already the solution. For my German VS the folders are named with 1031, 1033 is for english. So I found all template zip files in 1033 folders, copied them to the 1031 folders and started setup like Ben told me from the  DOS-prompt.

Now all templates are available and I started working with them already!

Thanks a lot for your and Ben's help!

Regards,

Stefan
