IBM Rational Rhapsody, IBM RationalSynergy, and MSSCCI integrations 2.1.x and 7.2: .Net Framework 2003 needed on Microsoft Windows 7 64-bits

Troubleshooting


Problem

The MSSCCI integration might fail to start IBM Rational Synergy on modern systems (such as Microsoft Windows 7 64-bits) because some older DLLs are missing. A workaround is to install the .Net Framework 2003.

Symptom

This issue has been discovered after setting up the Rhapsody/Synergy integration (which requires to install the Rational Synergy/MSSCCI integration, version 2.1.x or 7.2) on a Microsoft Windows 7 64-bits system. It hadn't been spotted before.

After performing the required configuration steps (see below) and trying to connect to a Synergy archive from Rhapsody, Rhapsody fails to launch Synergy.
The following error popup windows appear:
"Error occurred while getting SCC Context"
"Error occurred during CONNECT TO ARCHIVE operation" (Note: This is a rather generic error)

You might discover errors about file "msvcr71.dll" (or others) missing.
If you try to compile the "Dishwasher C++" sample program (shipped with Rhapsody 7.6.1), and then run it, it might fail because of missing DLL "msvcirtd.dll".
