Where did "Get Latest" on project open go?

[mchristsen]

I remeber from Vault Standard 5.0 series, that there was an option in the Source Control Options (Tools-> Options is VS) to automatically Get Latest files. This appears to have been removed from Vault Professional.

Has the automatic Get Latest been removed or has been rolled into another function. Right now I have to perform a get latest on the Solution or Project after I open.

This is for Visual Studio 2008 SP1 and Vault Professional 5.1.1.19216.

Thanks
Michael.

If you're using Enhanced Client integration it's in Visual Studio under Tools->Options->Source Control->Integration Options->Get everything when opening a solution.

If you're using Classic Client integration, it's under Tools->Options->Source Control->Environment>Get everything when opening a solution or project.

Let me know if this does not resolve the problem.

I have navigated to Tools -> Options -> Source Control -> Vault Professional Options and all I see is

- Remember login for the current repository
- Commands Dialog Display options for Check Out
- Advanced Options button.

There is nothing about Get everything when opening solution.
Please see the attachments. One is the dialog that comes up when on Source Control Options and the other the the Advanced Button dialog box.

Looks like you're using the Enhanced Client integration, but you're missing the "Integration Options" node under Source Control in Tools->Options. Not sure why.

What operating system is the Vault client installed on?

You could try uninstalling the Vault Client, then do a repair of Visual Studio from the command line, running as Administrator.

If you're on Vista or Windows 7, click the Start button and type "cmd" in the search box. You should see "cmd.exe" listed in the search results. Right click on cmd.exe and select "Run as Administrator."

With the command line, cd to the Visual Studio directory where devenv.exe is. On my machine it was under:


C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 10.0\Common7\IDE for VS 2010.

When you're in the proper directory, at the prompt, type "devenv.exe /setup"

So the command might look like this:

C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 10.0\Common7\IDE> devenv.exe /setup

This should repair any missing registry entries, etc, with Admin privileges.

Then reinstall the Vault Client.

Although you may be an Admin user on that machine on Vista or Win 7 an Admin user isn't alwyas the same as Administrator.

Another option is to use the Visual Studio installation disk, right-click on devenv.exe and select Run as Administrator.

I am running this on Windows 7 SP1 x64.

You comments on reinstallation reminded me that I installed the Professional Version of Vault while the Standard Version was still installed (thinking it would upgrade). Realizing that you could have both, I uninstalled Vault Standard. That may have caused the issue.

I will try the reinstallation and repair of Visual Studio.

Let us know if that doesn't resolve the problem.

That did it. I uninstalled Vault Pro and reinstalled after running the devenv /setup. I guess when I uninstalled Vault Standard, that screwed up the setting.

Thanks again.
