Fortress/Vault on Vista64 with VS2003

Post by joshbaltzell » Thu Feb 12, 2009 2:01 pm

I am not sure which part of my configuration is causing this problem, but I can't get Vault or Fortress to work with Visual Studio 2003 in Vista 64. Everything in the Source Control menu is just disabled. I tested this on a Virtual XP machine and it worked fine.

Is there something about my setup that is not supported?

I am testing with Vault 3.5.1 and Fortress 1.1.4.

Operating system: Vista64 SP1.

I don't think I've run VS 2003 on a Vista 64-bit machine before. We will give this a try to see what it does.

I had a similar problem with my Vista64 and VS2005 except that I did have 'Check In' and 'Check Out' enabled (no matter what the status actually was). What fixed my problem was going to File | Fortress Source Control | Change Fortress Bindings. I noticed at that point that some of my projects where not bound. As soon as I bound them, I was up and going. I don't know if that helps you or not - but that was just my experience.

Good luck!

According to Microsoft, VS 2003 is not supported on Vista. Some features might work, but if there's a problem, there's no support. That means Fortress can't support it either.
