ccvsisearchtoolwin.dll missing for ClearCase integration with Visual Studio 2008

Troubleshooting


Problem

This technote explains why the ccvsisearchtoolwin.dll library file is missing while attempting to setup the IBM® Rational® ClearCase® integration with Microsoft® Visual Studio 2008.

Symptom

  • The README supplied with the Visual Studio 2008 integration procedure for ClearCase 7.0.1 provides the following instructions:

    4. Search for a file named ccvsisearchtoolwin.DLL on the ClearCase host to obtain the path where this file resides.

    Note:  The default location is C:\Program Files\Common Files\Rational\ClearCase\CCVSI\bin



    Attempts to locate this file on the host fails as ccvsisearchtoolwin.dll cannot be found.

  • Another symptom may be seen when executing reg_vs2008.bat where the following error message is displayed:
    The module "ccvsiinterfaces.dll" was loaded but the call to DllRegisterServer failed with error code 0x80070005
