INSTRUCTIONS FOR INTEGRATING CLEARCASE 7.1.2.8 or later WITH VISUAL STUDIO 2012 


In order to register ClearCase with Visual Studio 2012, the following steps are required:

1.  Install Visual Studio 2012



2.  Install Rational ClearCase

Note:  Be sure to select the VS.NET integration when installing ClearCase.


3.  Download and extract the contents of CC_7.1.2_VS2012.zip to a temp location (for example C:\Temp) on the ClearCase host with Visual Studio 2012 installed.


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
    This path will be useful in the next two steps.


5.  Edit the ccvsisearchtoolwin_VS2012.reg registry file you just downloaded using a text editor (for example Wordpad) and search for the following string:

"CodeBase"="C:\\Program Files\\Common Files\\Rational\\ClearCase\\CCVSI\\bin\\ccvsisearchtoolwin.DLL"

Verify that this path matches the installation path identified in step #4.  If the path does not match, modify the path to match.
Note:  Keep the double back slashes, this is expected.



6.  Next, search for the following string in the file ccvsisearchtoolwin_VS2012.reg:

"Path"="C:\\Program Files\\Common Files\\Rational\\ClearCase\\CCVSI\\bin"


Verify that this path matches the installation path identified in step #4.  If the path does not match, modify the path to match.  Save and close the file ccvsisearchtoolwin_VS2012.reg.



7.  Next, edit the batch file named reg_VS2012.bat with a text editor and fill in the 6 different variables based on the selections provided.  Save and close the file.



8.  Execute the batch file (reg_VS2012.bat) in its current location (double click the batch file) to register the dlls and configure the integration feature with Visual Studio 2012.




INSTRUCTIONS FOR UNINSTALLING THE INTEGRATION :


1.   Make sure that the pathnames in the batch files "unreg_VS2012.bat" are correct as done during installation.


2.   Execute the batch file (unreg_VS2012.bat) in its current location to unregister the dlls and uninstall the integration.
