I am trying to install SCFS but when I tried to install the Smart Client it won’t allow me to install the Client Guidance Package because I don’t have the Guidance Automation Tools installed. But for some reason the Automation Tools just won’t install it does not give me an error code just said the Guidance Automation Tool did not install.

Is there any settings on Visual Studio I need to look at or anything that might conflict with it? Or is there something else wrong?

I installed the following in the following order

1. enterprise library
2. gax
3. gat
4. scfs

But when I open Visual Studio 2008 and go to new project the Guidance automation is not in my menu?
When I open a project I can go to the Tools menu there is a Guidance package manager with nothing in it when I go to enable disable package I have Guidance Package Development and Smart Client there. I select both tick boxes and press okay then I get an error:
System.IO.FileLoadException: Could not load file or assembly 'Microsoft.VisualStudio.TemplateWizardInterface, Version=9.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b03f5f7f11d50a3a' or one of its dependencies.

Hi,

I can see in this guide, how you can validate the correct component installed:

http://www.codeplex.com/smartclient/Wiki/View.aspx?title=Installing%20the%20Smart%20Client%20Software%20Factory&referringTitle=Getting%20Started%20with%20the%20Smart%20Client%20Software%20Factory


You have a Check dependencies button, to validate if the required GAX is installed, or detected in your system.

I did read it and the installation went perfect no errors but as I have explained in the post above I there is no menu items for the Guidance Packages and when I try to enable them (see how I am doing it above) I get the templatewizard error.

Hi,

I think that it can help you.

I read the error with more detail, and I can see that you are having problems with the TemplateWizardInterface class.

I founded in the folder C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0\Common7\IDE
the file: devenv.exe.config, and edit.

I founded the TemplateWizardInterface class in the file of my machine, I didn´t see it.


You must remove the class definition, you must find the lines:

<dependentAssembly>
<assemblyIdentity name="Microsoft.VisualStudio.TemplateWizardInterface" publicKeyToken="b03f5f7f11d50a3a" culture="neutral" />
<bindingRedirect oldVersion="0.0.0.0-8.9.9.9" newVersion="9.0.0.0" />

</dependentAssembly>

and remove these lines.



Note: remember not use the wordpad when edit .config file, because in some case I have problem, because it corrupts the file, use the notepad, or notepad++

Note two: make a backup of devenv.exe.config
