Hello, I have just tested both - Visual Assist X 10.0.1233.0 (Beta) - Visual Assist X 10.0.1230.0 (General Release) Versions in .Net 2003 and in both of them i had this problem. When i open a project it will not load the project and i get some error messages. Also i can not create a project. After some restarting and testing and playing with the enviroment i managed to make it work (not sure how though). Now i have other very strange problems. I can now open the project and compile but i can not run it. I get a message that says: "Unable to start debugging." "Access is denied. Verify that you are an administrator or member of the 'Debugger users' group on the machine..... ". Also i found other strange errors like when i use the menu "File\\Source Control" under the .Net 2003 menu i get a very strange message text ("Catastrophic error") when i choose the options there.
After removing VAX everything seems to work ok. Since we have already ordered 8 licenses i hope there is a new version that fixes these problems. Any idea what i can do during mean time? Thanks /Reza
I uninstalled Service pack2 build 2055 and now i can run and compile but i still get a wiered error message when i use the source control menu. I have send an screenshot tot he support as well.
I also get lots of "Unspecified error" now and then when i open the files. Not sure what cause this strange behaviors. After a couple of restart it seems to work now but the source control menu problem is always there though.
Yes it is but now i'm using SP1. The problems i mention where there already in WinXP SP1 so i tried it again in SP2 and they didn't go away (but then i got some other strange problem so i uninstalled it).
its a long shot, but have you tried logging in as Administrator?
there seem to be certain parts of the registry that you cannot write to even with Administrator rights, but you can if you log in as Adminstrator. my work station has this issue, but since i dont want to write to those parts it doesnt bother me
Thanks for the advice but the thing is that i have a administrator right on my machine but since i'm a member of a domain i can not get a local admin rights (that's how it works it big companies). But since i have administrator rights i should be able to write to most parts of the registry i think (otherwise the program should be changed so it can handle it). Like i said before in big companies the users never get local admin rights because of security. Hope there are another solution my problems.
I found the problem!!!! Actually i had fixed this before but i think visual .NET has written it to the registry again since i updated some components. But honestly i do not know why it started just after i installed VAX (must be a coincident). I include the solution here encase someone else have this problem. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Problem "Unspecified Error" using source control operations in Visual Studio.NET 2003 Solution SYMPTOM:
In Visual Studio.NET 2003 user encounters the following error when selecting, Files->Source Control->Open from Source Control (or any other operation).
"Unspecified Error".
NOTE: This error will only be encountered when using ClearCase 2002.05.00
CAUSE:
This is defect RATLC00686963.
RESOLUTION:
Due to security issues, in the Windows registry entry for SCCServerPath (under HKLM\\Software\\Atria\\ClearCase) you need to specify the full path of where ccscc.dll resides.
Change the SCCServerPath entry to the full path where the ccscc.dll resides. Restart Windows.
In the event this change does not work, changing the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\\SOFTWARE\\SourceCodeControlProvider\\ProviderRegKey value to a blank string will disable SCC and allow the IDE to function in a disconnected mode. This means that all ClearCase functions must be performed within Microsoft Windows Explorer or ClearCase Explorer rather than the IDE. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
