Thank you very much for your patience. We have just released an RC compatible build of the Power Tools. The Team Members Power Tool features now work in this build! Other than that, it just contains additional bug fixes and compatibility with the RC. We still have a fair amount of work to go before we are done for the RTM Power Tools release and we’ll keep you up to date as we make progress. If you find any issues, let us know so that we can fix them for RTM.
Here are the download locations:
Power Tools
MSSCCI Provider
Please make sure you uninstall any previous VS 2010 versions of the Power Tools before installing these. They should work side by side with the VS 2008 Power Tools though.
Thanks,
Brian
Thanks for the post.
The links are broken, because they have an a. before http://
Thanks, I've fixed it. I was running between meetings and copied the links from a mail and picked up the bullet point headers. That's what I get for not testing the post :(
I am getting an error after installing the MSSCCI tool. When I start VB6 it says that the cource code control has failed to initialize. Ive tried uninstalling/reinstalling. Ive removed sourcesafe. I have vb6, VS2010 RC, installed on XPSP3 VM. I haven't upgraded by TFS server to RC yet...could that be the problem?
Great! Yeeha!
Same problem here: failed to initialize.
Applications:
- Stylus Studio 2010 XML Enterprise Suite
- UniPaaS Developer Studio
Beta2 worked.
@Brian Senecal: (temp) solution found, look here: http://visualstudiogallery.msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/e6cb914e-b325-4ce1-bd4c-6cb8a9bb2914/view/Discussions
@Thomas Koch: That link says that the item has not been published yet...can't get to it...
It appears that the MSSCCI Provider post has been removed.
It was available this morning, when I downloaded it, however, the registry workaround caused the debugger in VS.NET 2008 to fail.
Oh well...hopefully a new one is posted soon. :)
@Thomas, we have removed the Msscci Provider since it was targeting incorrect .net version. We will publish correct installer very soon.
The workaround is causing every .net application to run against installed .net 4.0. Please remove the workaround to fix applications running against .net 2.0
We are sorry for the inconvenience
The updated installers are up there now. Sorry for the inconvenience. It's one of the risks we take in having the devs be the primary testers for the Power Tools. This was a very simple case of "it works on my machine". It should work on your machine now too.
Hi Brian,
i installed power tools to customize "task" workitem (agile template); what i need is a very simple feature :
- hide "estimate" field contained in layout form for some groups.
I notice that i can set field in readonly for some group, but i didn't see similar rule to hide field for some group.
How i can do this?
I'm afraid you can't. We don't have rules to control visibility - only to control editability :(
Is it possible to upload a custom WIQ I've developed within my process template to an existing project? The query I have developed is fairly involved and I do not believe it can be built directly within the IDE. In truth, I am not even sure it will work but I would like to try it out. Currently, I cannot find a way to upload a WIQ directly without creating a new project???
Probably the easiest way to do this is to put your WIQL in a .WIQ file. If you open a query in Team Explorer and "save as" to a file, you can see the format. You can then open your .WIQ file in VS and save it to the server.
I am not getting the shell integration in Windows7 x64
I have installed 2010 RC Power Tools, selected Custom Option, Selected shell integration.
No errors in install
But I dont see any context menu for this. Am I missing anything?
