ClearCase Integration with VS.NET 2003

I installed Visual Studio .NET after I installed ClearCase.  Therefore, ClearCase hasn't properly integrated into VS .NET.  VS only recognizes Visual SourceSafe, which I don't use.  I heard that uninstalling then re-installing ClearCase with VS .NET already installed will allow ClearCase to properly integrate into .NET.  But, the ClearCase installation takes a lot of time, and then there are all of the development views to download!!!  Does anyone know of another way to get VS .NET to recongnize ClearCase   Thank you!

    I got exactly the same problem on my system... Did you find a work-around for this VS.NET doesn't seem to recognize clearcase. My registry looks OK... I mean I have entries for
    "SCCServerName"="ClearCase SourceControl Provider"
    "SCCServerPath"="C:\Program Files\Clearcase\xxxxxxx\ccscc.dll"
    Any idea

    Best regards,

    Hi Laurent,

    Can you check whether you have an entry for ClearCase listed under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\SourceCodeControlProvider\InstalledSCCProviders
    The same registry location to ClearCase dll should also be used for the active source control provider in the ProviderRegKey value under the
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\SourceCodeControlProvider key, something like
    "ProviderRegKey"="Software\Atria\Clearcase".
    You may need to add a value like thi in registry if you don't have it (replace "Software\Atria\Clearcase" if necesary with the location where you have SCCServerName/SCCServerPath values).
    If that doesn't fixes the problem, can you tell us what key values do you have under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\SourceCodeControlProvider, and also how the SCCServerName/SCCServerPath look for you

    Thank you,
    Alin

    Hi,

    I would try registering manually the ClearCase MSSCCI dll.
    Locate on disk a file ccscc.dll (I think this is how it's called), then use "regsvr32.exe ccscc.dll" command on it.

    Basically, that should add an entry in registry under
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\SourceCodeControlProvider\InstalledSCCProviders
    something like "ClearCase"="Software\Atria\ClearCase"
    Also, under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Software\Atria\ClearCase it should add some entries like
    "SCCServerName"="ClearCase SourceControl Provider"
    "SCCServerPath"="C:\Program Files\Clearcase\xxxxxxx\ccscc.dll"
    (make sure the SCCServerPath value contains to the full path to ClearCase MSSCCI dll; I remember some older versions of ClearCase that registered there only the dll name)

    Then close and reopen VisualStudio and the ClearCase plugin should be visible in the source control plugins list.
