Enabling SOS as a Primary Source Control Provider in VS 2005

[Amplus]

I can't get SOS to work with Visual Studio 2005. I have followed the instructions in [http://support.sourcegear.com/viewtopic.php?f=14&t=5254] but it does not help. This topic does not specify the value of the new stringValue in the registry.

SOS is not an option in the plugins selection dropdown inside VS2005.

Platform: Windows XP SP3
SOS client: 4.2

See if this helps:
(you don't need the SourceSafe data -- I just happen to have that on my machine.)
