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 :^)

Check the C:\Program Files\Common Files\MicroFour\StrataFrame\ folder and verify that the MicroFour StrataFrame AddIns.dll file is there.
Then, go to the C:\Documents and Settings\your_username\Application Data\Microsoft\MSEnvShared\Addins folder and make sure the "MicroFour StrataFrame AddIns - To Deploy.AddIn" file's extension has not been changed to "Addin_". If the file has not been renamed, then you will need to open it (use Visual Studio or Notepad) and verify that the "1" tag is set to 1, not 0. I believe that it's the 5th line from the bottom of the file. If the tag is set to 0, then change it back to 1.
My guess is that your MicroFour StrataFrame AddIns.dll file is missing, but Visual Studio could be looking for some other DLL not in a 1033 folder (since your region code is not 1033).
Let me know how this works.

Hi ...Well, i checked the things u said, and you are right, the Strataframe DLL's go to some place else in the instalation. Anyway in this file called "MicroFour StrataFrame AddIns - To Deploy.AddIn", I changed this line: <Assembly>C:\Program Files\Common Files\MicroFour\StrataFrame\MicroFour StrataFrame AddIns.dll</Assembly> to <Assembly>C:\Arquivos de programas\Arquivos comuns\MicroFour\StrataFrame\MicroFour StrataFrame AddIns.dll</Assembly> Then i set the Add-In manager in Visual Studio to auto start, then close and open again, then works... the menu is there and the error stoped. This probably going to happen with other non-english windows, the system folders have translated names... Anyway, i will start now... Thanks !

Are your Environment Variables in English? For instance, do you have an environment variable for %CommonProgramFiles%?
To test this, open a Windows Explorer window and type %CommonProgramFiles% in the address bar and hit Enter. If the window navigates to the C:\Arquivos de programas\Arquivos comuns\ folder, then your environment variables are in English.
Just curious.

Hi, me again, same issue... diferente problem I instaled the new version of SF 1.3.0 (removed the last one first) then when i try to run the same error happened: 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.

Ao i said to not remove the add-in, then look the Add-in menu on the VS2005, it's there... if i click to open.. i get the same error... OK, then i checked the other post about diferent files and folders names... i went to the folder: C:\Arquivos de programas\Arquivos comuns\MicroFour\StrataFrame to look for the file "MicroFour StrataFrame AddIns.dll" and it is there, then i decided to go to "C:\Documents and Settings\Ricardo\Application Data\Microsoft\MSEnvShared\Addins folder and to make sure the "MicroFour StrataFrame AddIns - To Deploy.AddIn" file's extension has not been changed to "Addin_". Then surprise, my folder go to only "C:\Documents and Settings\Ricardo\Application Data" and then other folders, but not Microsoft\..... Did u guys change something on this version? Im without a clue again, i try to search for the file "MicroFour StrataFrame AddIns - To Deploy.AddIn" on the comp, but there isn't this file... im true lost. Any idea Ben? Best Regards, Ricardo

Then surprise, my folder go to only "C:\Documents and Settings\Ricardo\Application Data" and then other folders, but not Microsoft\.....I figure out, here in portuguese the "Application Data" folder is called "Dados de Aplicativos"and it's not visible for some reason, but if i write in the windows explorer path, works... It is installed right... now Thanks Anyway...
|
By StrataFrame Team - 2/1/2006
Yes the "Application Data" or "Dados de Aplicativos" is 'hidden' so you'll have to make sure hidden files are visible before you can open the folder. Then if you cannot get your StrataFrame menu to show up, make sure you open the "MicroFour StrataFrame AddIns - To Deploy.AddIn" file and make sure the tag says:
C:\Arquivos de programas\Arquivos comuns\MicroFour\StrataFrame\MicroFour StrataFrame AddIns.dll

By Stefan Zehner - 3/22/2006
Sorry, I forgot to tell, that I haven't got an error message any more. But no StrataFrame Menu.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?
|
By Stefan Zehner - 3/23/2006
Ben Chase (03/23/2006) Stefan, 2. Type '%APPDATA%' into the Open blank (without typing the quotes).
There I get an error, because Windows tryes to open 'C:\Dokumente'. The reak path is 'C:\Dokumente und Einstellungen\...' Also, within Visual Studio, if you open up Tools -> AddIn Manager..., do you see "StrataFrame Add-In Manager" listed in there? Yes, I can see it, like it is described in the helpfile. Tanks,

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%).
|
By Stefan Zehner - 3/23/2006
Hi Ben, C:\Programme\Gemeinsame Dateien\MicroFour\StrataFrame\MicroFour StrataFrame AddIns.dll
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,

By Trent L. Taylor - 3/23/2006
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.

By Stefan Zehner - 3/23/2006
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,
|
By Trent L. Taylor - 3/23/2006
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
|
By Stefan Zehner - 3/23/2006
Hi Trend,...was because we assumed the menu would have an item named "Help." Obviously this isn't the correct spelling in German. Yes, thats right and you have choosen the right translation , 'cause the menu is running now! Thanks very much! Regards,

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#?
|
By Stefan Zehner - 3/24/2006
Hi Trend,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#? 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! Regards,

By Trent L. Taylor - 3/24/2006
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.
|
By Stefan Zehner - 3/25/2006
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,

By Trent L. Taylor - 3/25/2006
Great! We will update the installation to provide this support in the future.

Hello, I installed strataframe demo and the menu doesnt appears, I searched for "MicroFour StrataFrame AddIns - To Deploy.AddIn" and see that it doesnt exist how I can extract from the installer this file and copy manually to the correct path? thanksFabian frs2002@hotmail.com

Is the StrataFrame menu from within Visual Studio missing? If so, the problem is probably two-fold. First, make sure that you have the StrataFrame.AddIn file located on your user folder. Here is an example path:C:\Documents and Settings\YourUserName\Application Data\Microsoft\MSEnvShared\AddIns The file name is "StrataFrame.AddIn" If this file exists, then more than likely an error occured when Visual Studio was loading StrataFrame which caused the AddIn to remove itself. First, the StrataFrame database MUST be installed and accessible. The first time that you go into Visual Studio after installing SF, it will pop-up a window asking you to point the SQL Server where the StrataFrame database was installed. If this doesn't happen, then we can go from there. First, make sure that your StrataFrame.AddIn file exists and looks like this: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="no"?> <Extensibility xmlns=" http://schemas.microsoft.com/AutomationExtensibility"> <HostApplication> <Name>Microsoft Visual Studio Macros</Name> <Version>8.0</Version> </HostApplication> <HostApplication> <Name>Microsoft Visual Studio</Name> <Version>8.0</Version> </HostApplication> <Addin> <FriendlyName>StrataFrame Add-In Manager</FriendlyName> <Description>Adds extended functionality to the Visual Studio development environment for teh MicroFour StrataFrame Application Framework and Database Management Toolkit.</Description> <AboutBoxDetails>For more information about MicroFour StrataFrame, visit our website at\rhttp://www.strataframe.net\rCopyright (c) 2005 MicroFour, Inc. Inc.</AboutBoxDetails> <Assembly>C:\Program Files\Common Files\MicroFour\StrataFrame\MicroFour StrataFrame AddIns.dll</Assembly> <FullClassName>MicroFour.StrataFrame.AddIns.AddInManager</FullClassName> <LoadBehavior>1</LoadBehavior> <CommandPreload>0</CommandPreload> <CommandLineSafe>0</CommandLineSafe> </Addin> </Extensibility> After you change the StrataFrame.AddIn file to match what is above, go back into Visual Studio to see if you get any type of warning or error. If so, then post it here so we can go from there.
