After installation, upon starting VS 2005, I get:

Error message 80070002

I've read and tried the suggestions on the following posts with no success.

Are the StrataFrame assemblies in the GAC (c:\windows\assembly)?

Yeah they are. Check out the zipped word doc with some screen shots of pertinent folders.

Sorry...didn't scroll down.  It looks like you are missing your license file folder:

There should be a folder under the StrataFrame folder called License.  The file in that folder should be the license file and it should be named "Microfour License.dll" with a space, not an underscore.

I have it in

C:\program files\microfour\strataframe\license  and the activation manager says it's activated.

Mark:

 

You should have received a manual activation license file.  To activate:

 

Either copy the license file to:

 

C:\program files\microfour\strataframe\license

 

Or go through the activation wizard and do the manual activation and select the license file.

 

Sometimes, when downloaded, then file name gets changed, so be sure that the file name is “MicroFour License.dll”

Regardless of what the wizard said, I don't think your activated.  I am the one who provided that information to Jay and created your license file.  This is why online is always better...fewer issues and it removes the human element.  It is entirely possible that your license file is wrong.  To prove this, run the activate program manually.  It will indicate whether or not the license file is valid:

The problem with an Add-In is that virtually anything else in the environment can cause a problem.  So let's remove the connection files, if they exist, and see if the ConnectionStringWizard even pops up.  So this way we will know if you are dealing with a data issue.  If you are running Vista, they will be in the ProgramData folder:

Otherwise, if you are on XP it will be in the common application folder which was in the Documents and Settings folder in XP:

or something along those lines.  There should be two files:

AppKeys.dat
Connections.dat

Delete them both then go back into VS.

Also, what version of VS are you running?  From the file you attached it looked like VS2005, but I just want to clarify.  Are you running a full version of VS or an Express version?

I get the same error message after deleting those files. I'm running full pro version 2005.

Leave the license file alone and uninstall SF and re-install.  It will leave the license file alone.  If that doesn't work then the only other thing to do is a screen sharing session...you will see that other people have run into this before, but if it isn't one of the things that we have gone through, it is generally something else in the environment (possibly permissions) causing the problem.  Which brings up a good point, do you have Adminsitrative permissions on your computer?
