We tried a beta of OnTime2008 in November and at that time it did not support VS2008.  I created a registry file to enable it.  If VS2008 is supported now, then ignore this post (I can't tell because I installed the purchased version on the same machine and the registry entries were already there).

Here is a registry file to enable it (USE AT YOUR OWN RISK).  Put these entries into a text file called OnTime2008VS2008.reg (note the .reg extension) and then right-click on the file and import it.  You may get warnings, etc.  Again, USE AT YOUR OWN RISK, TAKE BACKUPS, NOTIFY THE PRESIDENT, CALL YOUR MOM, etc.

ALSO, this file assumes the default install location for OnTime.  Change the paths as required if you installed elsewhere.

Here is the content (including the Windows Registry Editor line -- this is important).. Cheers... D

Hello Dathan,

Thank you for the workaround! I'm sure a great number of our users will find it extremely helpful until we release OnTime with built-in integration. While I technically recommend waiting for the OnTime release in which we address VS2008, this is a very valuable solution.

Thanks again!

Has this moved on yet i.e. when is it lekely to work in 2008 or has anyone tried this on 64bit

innov8,

We have been using the reg I wrote (first posting) for some months now and it has worked without issue.  I'm not sure if VS2008 is directly supported by OnTime as of this time, but if it isn't yet, then the reg file should do the trick.  I use 32-bit, but one of our developers uses 64-bit and he uses the above file as well.

All of that said, I still need to throw in a disclaimer: use at your own risk, backup your acre of reality first, etc.

Cheers... D

Hmm. I tried this but can't seem to see anything happening.

I did have to change the line
"CodeBase"="C:\\Program Files\\Axosoft\\OnTime 2008\\OnTime VS.NET\\OnTimeVsNet.dll"
to
"CodeBase"="C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Axosoft\\OnTime 2008\\OnTime VS.NET\\OnTimeVsNet.dll"

as I am running Vista Business 64.

Can you suggest anything else I might need to do to get this to work?

The inprocserver32 line may be an issue.  I checked with our developer and I was wrong, he uses it on 32-bit, so we don't have a working 64-bit version.  Perhaps Tom can help.

With a little bit of help from the OnTime Dev Team, here is the Registry Fix for Vista 64 bit
