VS2008 and vault 5.1.1 enhanced client missing

Post by kha » Wed Dec 15, 2010 11:52 am

I am using Vault 5.1.1 and just installed my VS2008, i don't see anywhere in Options to choose the source gear plugin. With File -> Source Control -> I have only 2 options to choose from "Open from Source Control", and "launch sourcegear vault standard classic client"

I've tried to uninstall my vault client 5.1.1 and did the following:
C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0\Common7\IDE>devenv.exe /setup

Then reinstall the vault client, i still don't see the enhanced client anywhere.

This is my first time working with VS2008, i am not sure if that is working as designed or something. :roll:
I am having VS2005 and VS2008 installed on my workstation (XP)

Please help

Check in VS 2008 under Tools->Options->Source Control->Plugin Selection. Do you see the Enhanced Client option there?

Look at the bottom of the Options dialog -- is there a checkbox for something like "Show All Settings?"

Is this Visual Studio 2008 Express? The Express version doesn't support source control integration.

Hi Linda,

I am seeing this problem again on my VS Basic 2008 Prof Version.

I see Source Control Options -> under Current Source Control Plug-in drop down list, I can only see the Source gear Vault Standard classic client

I need the enhanced client.

I am not sure if it's because I installed the vault client b4 installing the VS2008

Please help

Thanks,
Kim

nevermind, i figured it out.

I just need to uninstall and reinstall the Vault client that solved the problem. vault client needs to be installed after the Visual Studio

That's correct. The Vault Client installer writes the registry entries in the Visual Studio registry hive that enable integration.

If Visual Studio is installed after Vault Client, then the integration registry keys aren't written.
