Windows7 - VS2003 Vault Classic Client Plugin Not Working

[danW]

We have been unable to get the Vault Classic Client to work with Visual Studio 2003 on our Windows7 machines. The Vault Option to make Vault the default SCC Provider has been checked under Tools -> Options. For WinXp, doing this would enable this to work in VS2003 but this is not the case with Windows7. Has anyone been able to wire up the vault classic client plugin to VS2003 on Windows7? Any help is much appreciated. Thanks.

What version of Vault are you using? There may be a workaround, depending on which version you're using.

For more information, email support at sourcegear.com, Attn: Linda. Please include a link to this forum post.

Note that VS 2003 is not supported on Windows 7:

Is there a workaround for Vault 5? Running into the same problem...

You may be able to get it to work if you create the necessary registry keys.

Are you using 64-bit Windows 7? Check the registry in this node

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\SourceCodeControlProvider

to make sure the name ProviderRegKey with the data SOFTWARE\SourceGear\Vault Client exists.

Also in this node,

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\SourceCodeControlProvider\InstalledSCCProviders

there should be a String Value named SourceGear Vault Classic Client with the data SOFTWARE\SourceGear\Vault Client.

If not, create one.

Then try running VS 2003 as Administrator.

Can you see the integration now?

I am using Windows 7 64-bit. I tried those registry settings and they did not seem to help or make a difference for that matter.

I found this tool on CodePlex, and ran it as an Adminstrator:

When I selected Vault using this tool, the integration in VS 2003 seemed to be activated again for Vault.

Thanks for the update.
