sourcelinks and fogbugz

Question

I just installed this: http://www.wholetomato.com/products/sourcelinks/FogBugzBundle.asp but I don;t seem to be getting any of the functionality in my msdev. I am using 2008 professional.

Anyone have any experience with this tool? it does not seem to work for me at all. I never get the login dialog.

Answer 1

After about a week the Whole Tomato team gave me a solution that worked perfectly. Thanks for the support Mark, etc.

the answer is below

After doing some research, I came across this page:

http://www.mztools.com/articles/2007/MZ2007009.aspx

that lists several possibilities why it might not be showing up in the add-in manager. One of them is:

"There is a reported problem that happens when MSXML 6.0 is not installed correctly. In this case the Add-In Manager doesn't show any XML-based add-in (using an .AddIn file for registration). It shows only registry-based add-ins. So, if the Add-In Manager is empty when it should show several installed add-ins (not only yours), try reinstalling MSXML 6.0."

You might try reinstalling XSXML 6.0, and see if that helps. Download link is here:

I'd certainly try that before reinstalling VS2008.
