 while executing                                                            
"tcom::ref createobject "VisualStudio.Solution"                              
 (procedure getVCDefaultVersion" line 3)                                    
 invoked from within

 invoked from within

[OK]        


This error occurs because the COM class VisualStudio.Solution is not installed with Microsoft Visual C++ 2008 Express Edition.

Answer

Microsoft Visual C++ 2008 Express Edition is not a supported IDE for the integration with Telelogic Logiscope 6.5.

The supported IDEs are:

  • Microsoft Visual C++ .NET 2003 (Microsoft Development Environment 2003 Version 7.1.3088)
  • Microsoft Visual C++ .NET 2005 (Microsoft Development Environment 2005 Version 8.0.50727.42)
