Yet another problem installing GAT/GAX.
VS05 and GAT/GAX/CAB/SCSF have been running on the machine. VS08 was installed. The uninstallation of GAT/GAX/CAB/SCSF failed and things went downhill from there. After two weeks of doing nothing but work on this, I've finally gotten to the point where everything is installed again but VS 08 doesn't display any menu item related to Guidance Automation items.
After cleaning the system, these are the steps I've done:
1) Installed Visual Studio 08 Team Edition (full installation).
2) Installed product documentation.
3) Installed Visual Studio 08 Team Explorer.
4) Installed Enterprise Library 3.1.
5) Installed enterprise library source code.
6) Installed GAX and attached to VS08.
7) Installed GAT.
8) Attempted to install May 2007 Smart Client Software Factory �May 2007.msi.
This failed with "Unable to get installer types in the C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\Common7\IDE\PublicAssemblies\SmartClientFactoryPackageInstaller.dll assembly. --> Unable to load one or more of the requested types. Retrieve the LoaderExceptions property for more information."
Acquired a version of the MSI that was altered by Orca to have the right version number.
This installation ran to a completion with no errors displayed.
9) Edited devenv.exe.config so that the TemplateWizard's newVersion is 8.0.0.0.
Running VS08 does not reflect the presence of GAT/GAX. There is no mention of Guidance Package anywhere.
What next?
