Unable to install "Visual studio 2010 Integration"

Jiri Brazda — Tue, 29 Nov 2011 10:08:33 GMT

Hi,

I have recently installed Visual Studio 2010 on my machine. SF is already installed and VS 2005 and VS 2008 integration works fine. I have tried to run SF installer and try to modify the installation by adding VS2010 Integration. However - the installer didn't allow me to select this option (see attached picture). Have already tried:

- restart machine

- reinstall SF with currently installed options (no change selected)

- installed all updates from MS

Can anybody tell me what to do to have a SF menu options in VS 2010, please?

Thank You

George

You are welcome Alex.

Since I also use InstallAware to install my applications, I know that SF install will only uninstall the needed files and by doing an uninstall, then an install, it should clean things up instead of just doing a repair.

Thanks for your replies, Ivan and Edhy

Ivan - The problem is that I cannot check theVisual Studio 2010 checkbox in the SF install. When I orginally installed SF 1.7.3.5 I only had Visual Studio 2008 installed. Since then I've installed VS 2010 and was hoping to just re-run the SF setup and check VS 2010 integration, but alas...

So yes, I am working with both VS 2008 & 2010 on the same workstation.

Edhy - Yeah, I know that option is there... but was hoping you really smart guys would save me from doing that. :) But if it has to be, it has to be...

Thanks.

Hi Alex,
I would uninstall StrataFrame, Reboot then install SF again.
Make sure no other program is running when doing the installation.

When you go to install SF, is the Visual Studio 2010 checkbox checked?

Are you working with both VS 2008 and VS 2010 on the same machine?

Hi all -

FWIW, I'm having this exact problem as well. I'll try the steps in the post Ivan provided a link for next.

Looks like something in the SF installer is not finding a VS 2010 all the time.

--- Update ---------------------------

Using the post referenced about I found only StrataFrame2008.AddIn in C:\Documents and Settings\luyandoa\Application Data\Microsoft\MSEnvShared\AddIns. I found the2010 version in C:\Program Files\Common Files\MicroFour\StrataFrame and copied it over.

Then, VS2010 complained about not being able to support StrataFrame2010.AddIn's encoding... So I opened it in VS, copy-n-pasted into Notepad, and saved as UTF-8.

Now, I get the following error when starting VS2010.

[highlight]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\luyandoa\Application Data\Microsoft\MSEnvShared\Addins\StrataFrame2010.AddIn', will be renamed.Error Message: Unspecified errorError number: 80004005[/highlight]

Anyone have ideas (other than stop working and start watching football?).

TIA

Have a look at:

C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 10.0\Common7\IDE\ItemTemplates

C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 10.0\Common7\IDE\ItemTemplatesCacheOn its sub-folders, you should be able to see CSharp, VisualBasic, Web... they all should have the templates. I guess if you copy them all from the version of VS you had there already, from respective folders, they should show up when adding a new item.

Hi,

I am back... Unfortunatelly I cannot see item templates :angry: Can I install them manually somehow?

Thank You

Well, I think you should be fine. Check if the item templates show up for StrataFrame when you add a new item to your projects.

I have created the addon and SF menu item is now available. Is it everything that is needed to SF fully works with VS 2010?

Yes, the installer does exactly that. If it finds VS2010 on your machine, it will let you check the option. For some reason it is not seing it. You could test it on a new virtual machine and it would probably work fine. Yeah, I know this is not what you want, but just for the sake of testing it.

Maybe you could try and build the Add-in, see if this post can help you in some way:

No, I use VS 2010 Professional...

I think that the installer should somehow recognize whether VS 2010 is installed and then it allows on doesn't allow to install. Is there anzthing that I should check manually, please?

That is to create the integration with the IDE and get you the StrataFrame menu working, templates...

Sorry for the silly question, but it is not the Express version of VS 2010 you are installing there, right?

Hi Ivan,

yes, I used "Run as Administrator" option.

What is the point that the installer recognizes whether VS2010 is installed? Some registry entry or file on disc?

Regards

George

Not sure what can be happening...

Have you tried running the install as Administrator? Right-click the install program and choose Run as administrator:

Hi George.

What version of SF are you installing?
