Hi,

I installed 2.54 and run the Integration Wizard for VS6, VS.net 2003 and VS 2005, and the build for 2005 failed. Also, it looks like the whole 2005 environment was corrupted as a result, as the build couldn’t find winafx.h, and then when I tried to build my own projects, I started getting error messages about not found files.

I will reinstall both now, VS 2005 and Prof-UIS 2.54. What can I do to run the Integration Wizard sucessfully?

Thanks,

Adrian

We confirm that the reported problem caused by the Integration Wizard may occur on some machines when you integrate Prof-UIS with Visual Studio 2005. Unfortunately we failed to reproduce this bug on any of our machines. The Integration Wizard modifies the VCComponents.DAT file typically located in the C:\Documents and Settings\*** YOUR WINDOWS USER NAME ***\Local Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\VisualStudio\8.0\ folder. It is a Unicode text file of the standard INI format. The Integration Wizard modifies this file using the standard Win32 APIs GetPrivateProfileString() and WritePrivateProfileString(). We may guess these functions corrupt Unicode INI files on some machines under some conditions. The Visual Studio .NET (7.0) and Visual Studio .NET 2003 (7.1) also have their VCComponents.DAT files but they use ANSI and we have never had any problems with them.

You can easily repair the corrupted VCComponents.DAT file. The Integration Wizard makes a copy of this file and save it to the ..\Prof-UIS\Support\BACKUP\ folder each time when you perform integration. So you can get the oldest version of the VCComponents.DAT file from this folder and put it back into the original location. You can also find detailed instructions on how restore this file in the above specified backup folder.
