Vault installation on VS2013 preview

[kadorken]

I was investigating VS2013 preview and after installing Vault discovered I didn't have access to the "SourceGear Vault Standard Visual Studio Enhanced Client" (which is how our solutions are bound). The standard classic client DIDappear in the plug-in configuration dropdown.

I dug out the "vault_client_install.log" file and (as sort of expected), vault installation didn't find VS 2013 (12.0) during it's install. Just a heads up.

Currently using Vault V6.0.0 (477)

Just to be sure, I updated our vault software to 6.1.0 (531) with same result (as expected).

Vault needs to be installed after Visual Studio so that it can set the appropriate registry keys for that version of VS.

You can first try a repair on the Vault install.

If Vault Enhanced Client doesn't show up, then perform an uninstall and reinstall on the Vault client.

Vs was installed before vault. It is version 12.0

We currently support up to Visual Studio 2012. We may need to look further into VS 2013. It's hard to tell yet since VS 2013 appears to still be in beta if it's a VS issue or a Vault issue.

I just assumed the installer knows what version numbers to check for and stopped at 11.0 and went no further. I'll work around it for testing. Thanks.

Sourcegear seem to not acknowledge the VS betas even in an unofficial way and generally one has to wait for the release version.

You could try edit the util i put up at the post below for registering vault with VS11 (aka 2012) when it was in beta and unsupported, i daresay it'll probably be a similar setup just changing the version numbers in registry keys. I ran into no compatibility issues with it back then.

I don't intend on installing VS2013 since my MSDN expired and i daresay it'll cost an arm and a leg to upgrade so i wont be updating the util this time around.

I have the same problem. Installed Visual Studio Premium 2013, then Vault Professional 6.1, and the enhanced client plugin is not available.

I wonder whether SourceGear is planning to fix this. Many thanks.

VS 2013 will be supported with Vault 7.0.1, which is in the works now.

Also, check out the last post on this thread, http://support.sourcegear.com/viewtopic ... 302#p74302, which has additional information from one of our developers.

Many thanks, Beth. I'll see if we can upgrade to Vault 7 then.

A quick update. Full support for Visual Studio 2013 is found in Vault 7.1, which was released today.
