Yes, it is called StrataFrame2008.AddIn

In this case, I think you could follow the link that Trent posted above, and deploy it manualy.

Thanks Ivan. Found the addin file (in COMMON...jeesh missed that like four times). I followed the instructions by Trent (basically put in in a folder under my profile). The addin then tries to load, but fails with an unspecified error.



I'm assuming this is using the Microfour StrataFrame Addin.dll that is in the GAC?

Hey Greg, not sure, but the post Trent direct you to doesn't make any references to the "Microfour StrataFrame Addin.dll" at all.

Couldn't you find the file "C:\Documents and Settings\MyUser\Application Data\Microsoft\MSEnvShared\AddIns\StrataFrame.AddIn" ?

This is the one that should be copied and changed.

Yeah, I found that. It was right were you said it would be (but I missed it because...well...I just missed it! ) I placed in in the "C:\Documents and Settings\gregm\Application Data\Microsoft\MSEnvShared\AddIns" folder. The file is just an XML file, so I opened it and the version is already fine.



However, this actually just tells VS to load a class as an addin. I was wondering if this was the afore mentioned Microfour StrataFrame Addin.dll (or if I need to do something else).



It tries to load the addin, then shows a message box that states there was an unspecified error, do I want to remove the addin and have it renamed.

Just to see if I got what you did.

So you copied the

C:\Documents and Settings\MyUser\Application Data\Microsoft\MSEnvShared\AddIns\StrataFrame.AddIn

to

C:\Documents and Settings\MyUser\Application Data\Microsoft\MSEnvShared\AddIns\StrataFrame2008.AddIn

And then, opened the 2008 AddIn that you just copied over and changed the two version entries to 9.0.

Is that right?

One other thought here too, Greg.  If you are having issues with the GAC on this machine, you can move that MicroFour StrataFrame AddIns.dll file whereever you need to and then just change the XML text inside of the AddIns file to point to the desired location of that file.  Just another thought.

Ivan,



Since I'm using the latest build, which support 2008, I just copied the StrataFrame2008.addins file to C:\Documents and Settings\MyUser\Application Data\Microsoft\MSEnvShared\AddIns\ folder. The version is already fine (the post was for folks moving to 2008 before the first SF build that had that support built in).

How do I define the assembly used? I.e. what is the tag and what rules apply?

OK, after a bit of playing around, I figured it out. Your idea worked Trent.



I updated the Addins file with:







I.e.

Cool , I figured that might get you going.
