Problem with Vault, Visual Studio .NET and Wise Installer

[TomClement]

Hi Folks,
I'm having a miserable time getting Wise to work with VS .NET and Vault Source control v 2.0.0 (2120). In particular, I can't check in the Wise project because (quoting):

“A project Apptero.Installer.Composer.wsi you are trying to add contains items which are in the same folders as projects that are already under source control. Because the source controlled projects do not share the same source control binding, they cannot be added to source control. To resolve this issue move this project's items into their own folders, or place all overlapping projects into the same source control binding.”

I have no idea who's problem this is, except that ultimately it is mine .

It seems that the Wise Visual Studio integration has each referenced project output and content file as a constituent file of the Wise project. What I'd like to do is tell someone who will listen (like Visual Studio or Vault) that I'm not particularly interested in having the DLLs, PDBs and EXEs checked in, and that the referenced content files are already under source control (thank you) and I won't be needing their help in putting them under source control. Of course, I would like the .WSI file checked in, since that's the only source file for this project.

I'm tired, and annoyed and really, any suggestions would be appreciated at this point.

Thanks for any help you can give...

I don't know much about Wise integration with VS, so I'm not sure I'll be able to help much. But, Vault's IDE integration module doesn't decide which files to put under source control - it is probably the Wise component that does that.

The binding error suggests to me that there is already a working folder associated with Vault repository folder, and that the IDE wants to add files from either the same working folder to a different Vault repository folder, or a different working folder to the same vault folder, either of which would cause problems (there has to be a one-to-one association between working folder and vault folder). I don't know if that is what the real problem is, but that would be a good area to check first.

Sorry to not be more useful. Maybe someone else out there has experience with the Wise component and would like to jump in?

Thanks for your comments. I'm continuing to look into this and will let you know what I discover.
