Error while building StrataFrame Menu

Bill Cunnien — Tue, 15 Jul 2008 10:36:38 GMT

I have a Vista laptop on which I am trying to update the framework to 1.6.6. I am receiving the following message when opening Visual Studio 2008:

Exception
An error occurred while building the StrataFrame menu.
ArgumentException
Value does not fall within the expected range.

Source :

Stack Trace:
   at EnvDTE80.Commands2.Item(Object index, Int32 ID)
   at MicroFour.StrataFrame.AddIns.MenuBasics.ᜂ(DTE2 A_0)
   at MicroFour.StrataFrame.AddIns.AddInManager.OnConnection(Object application, ext_ConnectMode connectMode, Object addInInst, Array& custom)

I close the error window and VS2008 opens and the toolbox items are created. How do I get the menu installed? I have tried reinstalling.

Thanks,
Bill

Hi Bill,

I am probably not going to be much use here but have you tried running VS as the Administrator? I use VS2008 on Vista and have had to do that on some occasions. In fact, even if you have I would go a step further and try temporarily turning your Vista UAC off before trying again.

Another possibility could be your VS IDE default settings have become corrupt. You can reset these by running DEVENV.EXE with the /ResetSettings command line switch. The only potential problem here is some add-ons will have to be re-installed afterwards.

Hope this helps.

Aaron

I know most of you guys are in training and not able to provide help right away on these issues. I am bumping this one (I don't normally do this :) ) because I will be working on my laptop later this evening and I was hoping to get some feedback before that. Hope the training is going well.

Thanks,
Bill
