ChrisS Posted November 25, 2014 Report Share Posted November 25, 2014 Hi all, VS2013 ws already installedbefore I installed SCM but it is not seeing Plastic SCM as a Source control at all. Anyone have any ideas ? Ive done a serach but all I could find was a post from 2013 which described a hack when VS2013 was in preview. Many thanks Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manu Posted November 25, 2014 Report Share Posted November 25, 2014 Sounds like a cliche but.... can you install it again? make sure the VS package is enabled, the VSIX installer should popup.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisS Posted December 1, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 1, 2014 Okay, this is getting a tad silly. Now when I fire up PlasticSCM (v5) it is saying it cannot find jiraextension.dll in a PlasticSCM4 folder. I used to use v4 early last year but it is long gone. I have reinstalled v5 numerous times and even uninstalled VS2013 and reinstalled it (and that is one big pain) but with no luck. I've tried installing just the Jira stuff but same errors. Any ideas anyone ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisS Posted December 1, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 1, 2014 Okay just tried to reinstall the VS bits through the Plastic SCM installer. Now it is saying : Error running ,Path>vsixinstaller.exe /q "<path> plasticscm-visualstudio.vsix": Program ended with an error code Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manu Posted December 2, 2014 Report Share Posted December 2, 2014 Hi Chris, can you try the same command using an administrator command line? We use "VSIXInstaller" to get the Plastic SCM binaries inside VS, lets check if we can get more info. "c:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 12.0\Common7\IDE\VSIXInstaller.exe" /q "c:\Program Files\PlasticSCM5\client\plasticscm-visualstudio.vsix" Make sure the “VSIXInstaller.exe” tool (c:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 12.0\Common7\IDE\VSIXInstaller.exe) in installed in your computer and the Plastic SCM package is available (plasticscm-visualstudio.vsix). Maybe the VS installation is having missing packages/libraries, executing the command will give us more information. Please send me the output.

ChrisS Posted December 3, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 3, 2014 Thanks for your help Manu. The command above worked I think the problem here is that I had originally installed PSCM to the C drive and then reinstalled it to the D Drive. I booted into safe mode and removed all the folders for PSCM I had created, removed the Service via 'sc' and a fresh install worked. That seemed to work When I tried to configure the client I did get an error to do with JIRA (I use Atlassian JIRA for issue tracking) but once I told it to use Atlassian for Issue Tracking that went away. I think that maybe the uninstall process is not wiping Registry entries fully and I did notice that after an uninstall there were about 12 DLL files still in the PlasticSCM folder. But all's well that ends well. Again, thanks for the help. Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manu Posted December 10, 2014 Report Share Posted December 10, 2014 Hi Chris, thanks for returning with the solution. To be honest with you it's the fist time I see that scenario (changing the drive installation), we'll keep an aye on it. Thanks again and if you have more question don't hesitate to ask.
