Group: StrataFrame Users Posts: 119, Visits: 11K	I am about to install on a new laptop with the above operating system and VS. I have the latest VISX file and have unzipped the files and I want to make sure I understand what to do. I want to copy the files: "MicroFour StrataFrame AddIns.dll" "MicroFour StrataFrame Extensibility.dll" to the following: C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\assembly\GAC_32 Then I want to do the Following but I don't know where to do this???? gacutil /if "%path%/MicroFour StrataFrame AddIns.dll" gacutil /if "%path%/MicroFour StrataFrame Extensibility.dll" Finally, I want to run the VISX. Is this correct? TIA.

Run the Developer Command Prompt for VS2015 as Administrator Uninstall assemblies with the following commands: gacutil.exe /uf "MicroFour StrataFrame AddIns" gacutil.exe /u "MicroFour StrataFrame Extensibility" Then Install the new assemblies with the following commands: gacutil.exe /if "%CommonProgramFiles(x86)%\MicroFour\StrataFrame\MicroFour StrataFrame AddIns.dll" /f gacutil.exe /if "%CommonProgramFiles(x86)%\MicroFour\StrataFrame\MicroFour StrataFrame Extensibility.dll" /f Enjoy!!!

See the attached picture with error that I got when I tried running the gacutil.exe Do I need to do something else? TIA. Attachments CommandError.PNG (169 views, 6.00 KB)

I have attached 2 pics that show the results of yesterdays using the gacutil with the Dlls and it looks like it worked. Today I am actually in VS and I have attached the Menu that shows up. But when I click on the Licensing Choice or for that matter any choice NOTHING happens??? Also, note that BOM choice is not available. What did I miss or what should I try next? TIA.

Did you download the latest version from the sticky thread, uninstall it from Visual Studio and re-run the new one?

Open Visual Studio -> Tools -> Extensions and Updates -> (Left Menu) Installed -> All -> (Middle List) MicroFour StrataFrame -> Uninstall. You'll get a note at the bottom of the dialog that you have to restart VS for the changes to take effect. Close VS Go to http://forum.strataframe.net/Topic33068.aspx Download the attachment and extract the .vsix from it. Double-click the .vsix from where you extracted it. You'll get the dialog asking into what versions of VS you want to install it. Choose VS2015 and others if you want. Finish the setup. Restart VS. Steps 5-10 you've obviously done before because you have the .vsix installed. But removing them isn't as straightforward and that's steps 1-4. There is an update mechanism for VSIX, but you have to publish it to the VS Gallery, and we decided to not do that; at least with this version.
