I very much want to find a download of CIM Studio.
If one Googles enough, one discovers that CIM Studio is now part of the WMI Administrative Tools and one finds a link identical or similar to:
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?displaylang=en&FamilyID=6430F853-1120-48DB-8CC5-F2ABDC3ED314
If one follows that link, one is redirected to a politely apologetic page explaining that the requested page is now gone and offers a Bing search using the appropriate keywords. The VERY FIRST link offered by Bing is the identical Microsoft link which fails.
EDIT: The above link now works properly again, but successfully running CIM Studio on Windows 7+ is not straight-forward.
Anyone know how to properly install CIM Studio?
Since it took me a bit to learn these nuances of getting WMI CIM Studio to run under Windows 7 or Windows 8 and IE11 (IE9 or later), I thought I'd share it here...
Install CIM Studio (WMI Administrative Tools, as indicated in #knb's answer)
Add <meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=8" /> into the <HEAD> section ahead of SCRIPT LANGUAGE="VBS" in the C:\Program Files (x86)\WMI Tools\studio.htm file. This override is necessary because CIM Studio uses VBScript code and IE11+ has dropped support for that.
Create a shortcut to "C:\Program Files (x86)\Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe" "C:\Program Files (x86)\WMI Tools\studio.htm"
Configure the shortcut to run as Admin (Properties -> Advanced...)
Another option is to use Microsoft WMI Code Creator instead.
The Microsoft links seems to be broken, but you can use the CNET Download.com site WMI Administrative Tools
These days, the WMITools.exe file can be retrieved directly from Microsoft again, at
http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=24045
It can be found easily with a simple google search for "cim studio".
Looks like all download reasources from Microsoft are going to disappear.
A good open-source alternative for CIM Studio is WMI Explorer which you can download from here: https://github.com/vinaypamnani/wmie2/releases

It's really all right there in the question. This is the first time I've heard of Fusion Log viewer but it sounds like it can help me solve my problem. All the documentation says it's really easy to start, all I have to do is:
- Type 'Fusion' in my Start menu
- Search for 'fuslogvw.exe' or type 'fuslogvw' in Administrator command prompts
- Do something with Developer Command prompt, which I also cannot find on Windows Server 2012
- Change a Registry setting
I have tried all these things (except changing the registry setting, because I can't find that setting and I don't screw with regedit if I can at all help it) and cannot find the program. I see where I can download it, but according to Microsoft if I have VS installed I already have it.
Please do not refer me to this page: https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/e74a18c4(v=vs.110).aspx or this one: https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms229859(v=vs.110).aspx because neither of them tells me how to do this in Windows Server 2012.
To be specific I have:
Windows Server 2012 (running in a VMWare Virtual Machine on a Mac, though I don't see how that matters)
Visual Studio 2013
Where is this program, or do I just not have it and have to download it?
fuslogvw is shipped with .NET Framework Tools
Set HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Fusion\ForceLog setting to 1 is one of the necessary step, as I remember. I see, that you don't have it, so just create new DWORD one.
fuslogvw can be run from from Visual Studio Command Prompt.
Where I can find website administrator tools? I tried to find in
There isn't any similar tool.
Microsoft just removed it for no reason (they are evil)... it`s easier if you just use VS2010 ou VS2012 to configure users and roles with Administration Tool, then go back to VS2013... or you can configure an extension like this:

I spend a lot of time offline, and while normally I'm in the middle of some book or magazine for work, I've recently been reading through the MSDN Library documentation of Visual Studio 2010 Application Lifecycle Management (aka TFS 2010).
Unfortunately, this documentation doesn't seem to be included on either the Vs2010 nor the VsAlm2010 installation media anymore, and I can't find any downloads for it...does it simply not exist except in online form?
I'd find it hard to believe that the only way to get at this documentation would be to hit a website for every request. What am I missing?
Wow - I'm a little surprised. Even on the MSDN Subscriber download site, the MSDN library downloads only go up to 2007.
But, you can tell the VS 2010 installation to install the content locally.
Go to "Help|Manage Help Settings" and under "Choose online or local help" select "I want to use local help".
You can also use the Help Manager to install online help updates locally. This might get the specific docs you're looking for (TFS ALM) pulled down - I'm not sure, but might be worth a try.

Install Zeal and add MSDN docset feed - this will give you rather a huge (it contains 41'181 method, for example) flat list of methods, constants, classes etc, not something as nicely laid out as MSDN site, but the search is lightning fast. Download size is ~3'400Mb;

Use VSHD to download offline help files for Visual Studio Help Viewer (applicable for VS 2012+) - this offers you the pleasure of leaving VS itself firewalled as it honestly should be. Download size varies.

I am trying to distribute my Outlook Add-In to the rest of the company.
I'm using Visual Studio 2008 Professional and Outlook 2003. In VS I used an installed template for Outlook 2003. It created a solution with BOTH a project and an installer.
I use the project and created an Add-In. It works GREAT on my PC in development. Now, I want to distribute it. Here's where things go haywire. The nice little installer they provide DOESN'T ACTUALLY WORK.
The installer runs and places the files where they are to go, but the add-in doesn't run. Instead it gets errors about not having permissions. The installer didn't automatically set the security settings for you.
No problem. You just have to set those settings... right? But no where can I find a simple list of those settings.
I've been to http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb332051.aspx a thousand times from almost every possible link on the web. I've read every Microsoft paper that I can find on VSTO add-Ins. Unfortunately everything seems to reference some magic script... "Just include the sample code..."
[rant] IF A SECTION OF CODE OR AN ENTIRE SOLUTION IS REQUIRED TO DISTRIBUTE YOUR CODE IT IS NOT SAMPLE!! IT IS REQUIRED !!! [/rant]
There. I feel better.
Since I installed VS2008, I don't have the directory:
C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 Tools for Office SE Resources\Samples
No problem, right? Just DL it from microsoft. I've downloaded every "vstor.exe" that I can get my hands on. They all offer to "repair or uninstall" my current installation, but no matter what I choose, the vstor.exe crashes.
HELP!!!
I just want to know what I need to do (the manual steps, if necessary!!!!!) to get my friggin app distributed.
No magic "include this gizmo". No fifty-thousand page diatribes.
Anyone know how this is ACTUALLY done?!
I got it to work.
I was able to get a "sample code" update from Microsoft that allowed me to follow the walk-through.
I still think that's utterly ridiculous to HAVE to use sample code to easily distribute your app. However it is working at the moment.
The link I used was given to me by anonymous use on a different board. Whoever you are THANK YOU!!!!
Here is the link I was given:
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?familyid=6991E869-8D5B-45F4-91E7-B527BD236F4C&displaylang=en
This allowed me to actually get my hands on that mysterious "sample" code even though I use VS2008 Professional.
I am developing an Isolated Shell that caters to "designers/special content creators" performing specific tasks, using the Shell. As they operate on files, they need to be able to use TFS for source control. This is mainly due to the fact that Developers will also operate on the same files from TFS but using Visual studio 2008.
After looking and searching I still could not find Team Explorer to be available to Shell.
Asking on MSDN forums, lead me to the answer that "this is not supported yet in the Isolated Shell". Well, then the whole point of giving away a shell is not justified, if you want to use a source control system for your files. The idea is not to recreate everything and develop tool windows etc using the TFS provider API.
The Visual Studio Extensibility book by Keyven Nayyeri has an example, which only goes so far into this problem of adding a sc provider.
Has anyone worked on developing Visual Studio 2008 Isolated Shell applications/environment? Please provide comments, questions - anything that you have to share apart from the following threads, which I've already participated in.
Threads from MSDN forums:
Team Explorer for Isolated Shell
Is it possible to use Team Explorer in VS Shell Isolated?
Thanks for your answer. Yes you are right, we will acquire CALs for users without having to buy them Visual Studio, that's the direction we will be taking.
But I am yet to figure out how to make Team Explorer available to such users, inside Shell. So I am looking to find out the technical details of how that can be done.
I mean, I have a user, he installs my VS Shell application, he has no VStudio Team system on his machine. Now if I acquire CAL for TFS and install Team Explorer, do you think it will be automatically available in the VS Shell app?
Any ideas? have you worked on making this happen?
Thanks
It sounds like you are trying to allow the "special content creators" save files in TFS Source Control without having to buy them a license to a Visual Studio Team Edition -- correct me if I'm wrong.
If that's the case, unfortunately I believe that you can't quite do that. Your users still need a Client Access License ("CAL") to access TFS.
I think that you can acquire just CALs for your users without having to buy Visual Studio for them (I presume for less than a full blown Visual Studio would cost). At that point, you can just distribute to them the Team Explorer, which is a VS shell with nothing but TFS access components. That is available in your TFS server media.
I found this via Google. You might want to review it to decide your best options:
Visual Studio Team System 2008 Licensing White Paper
The only exception to the CAL rules I'm aware of is access to Work Items. Assuming properly licensed servers, anyone in your organization can create new Work Items or view and update existing ones created by them, using the Work Item Web Access component.
Just stumbled on this question, it might still be relevant to you.
You have the option of including the AnkhSVN (http://ankhsvn.open.collab.net/) packages and load it into your Isolated Shell. While there are some issues around it, with Subversion support, you could use SvnBridge to access TFS repositories. This might bring you a little bit closer to the process you are trying to achieve.
