When attempting to move from VS 2005 to VS 2008 I uninstall GAX/GAT/SCSF. I reinstall the GAX (July 2007) without any error message. When I try to install GAT (July 2007) I get an error message saying "Guidance AutoMation Extensions is not installed." I ran the GAXTroubleshooter and here is the output. Any ideas on how to fix this to run VS 2008.

Apparently GAX current state may not be good due to the manual removing of some entries. Please check if you have this key in your registry:

SOFTWARE\Microsoft\VisualStudio\9.0\InstalledProducts\RecipeManagerPackage

and it's not there please add it -- that should make GAT happy and it should install, after which, we should check if there is any other piece of your GAX install still missing...

Let me know if you can get GAT to install and work.

HTH,

Hi Jerry,

By the log you posted it looks there were still Guidance Packages installed at the moment you removed the GAX v1.3 that was installed on top of VS2005 in order to move to VS2008, is that right? GAX throws an error when you try to uninstall it and there are still packags installed. Did you get any errors? Did you resort to tools like MSI Cleanup to make it uninstall?

Let me know with details what you did and we can try to think how to help you from there.

thanks,
-Victor.

Victor,

When I tried to uninstall the GAX it did give me an error.I'm not sure of the exact error message.I used the windows install cleanup utility to remove it. Then ran the GAXTroubleshooter to find locations in the registry and went through and attempted to removed them. The GAXTroubleshoot log posted is from after doing this and reinstalling GAX.

Thanks,

Jerry

Apparently your GAX installation was left unstable after running MSI Cleanup. Please try to run "Repair" in the GAX MSI and try installing GAT again. If that doesn't work, ping me back, and I can try to point you to some registry teaweking to try to make it install.

HTH,
-Victor.
