Error when adding solution to fortress

[MattK]

I am trying to add a solution to fortress using VS 2008. When I right-click the solution name in the solution folder and select "add to fortress", sign in, and choose a repository folder, click ok, I get the following:

Unable to cast COM object of type 'System.__ComObject' to interface type 'Microsoft.VisualStudio.Shell.Interop.IPersistFileFormat'. This operation failed because the QueryInterface call on the COM component for the interface with IID '{3AFAE242-B530-11D0-8199-00A0C91BBEE3}' failed due to the following error: No such interface supported (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80004002 (E_NOINTERFACE)).

I've tried restarting VS2008 to no avail.

This COM interface error may the result of an unregistered COM dll.

You can fix that on a 64-bit OS by running this from the command line:

Code: Select all

regsvr32 "C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\MSEnv\TextMgrP.dll"

On a 32-bit OS the command would be

Code: Select all

regsvr32 "C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\MSEnv\TextMgrP.dll"

On Vista you need to launch cmd.exe with administrative privileges before running the command.

Hi there

I'm totally new to Fortress and have just downloaded and installed the latest version, on Windows 7 x64 machine, but get the same error as mentioned here.
Unfortunately that fix didn't work for me, and I'm still getting the same error when trying to add a solution.

any guidance would be appreciated.

In Visual Studio, look under Tools->Options->Source Control->Source Control Plugin.

What plugin is selected there?
