DSL: Is "Microsoft Visual Studio 2010 DSL SDK Beta2" compatible with Visual Studio 2010 Beta 2 Ultim

Is "Microsoft Visual Studio 2010 DSL SDK Beta2" compatible with;
- Visual Studio 2010 Beta 2 Ultimate and
- Windows-7 Enterpise 64-bit?

When I tried to create a new Domain Specific Language Designer project, I receive an error pop-up message.
"Object reference not set to an instance of an object".

Is this a bug or an incompatible tool stack?

Answer 1

Feels like an issue with the DSL tools, but your description is not clear enough. I suggest that you can give more specific details and repro steps.
 

Answer 2

Repro Steps
1) DELL Latitude D830 (64-bit, Intel(R) Core(TM) Duo CPU T7100, 4 GB RAM)
2) Installed Windows 7 Enterprise 64-bit (English) as Bootable VHD and added boot-screen using BCDEdit
3) Installed Visual Studio 2010 Beta 2 Ultimate (from Gold Partner MSDN)
3) Installed Visual Studio 2010 Beta 2 SDK
4) Installed Visual Studio 2010 Beta 2 DSL SDK
5) Start VS and create new project Domain Specific Language Designer

Results
The project/solution is not created.
Instead I receive a pop-up message:
"Object reference not set to an instance of an object".
Quick glance at the event-viewer did not show an appropriate error message.

Workaround Attempts (without luck)
Repair Visual Studio
Deinstall/Reinstall SDK
Deinstall/Reinstall DSL SDK
The error remains!

Note: The VS 2008 DSL fuctionality without problems.

Hello
Apart from the hardware, I was using:
- Windows 7 Enterprise 64 bits (but not as a bootable VHD)
- VS 2010 Ultimate
- VSSDK 2010 Beta2
- DSL SDK 2010 Beta2
And everything used to work fine for me (I'm now using a later version)

The only problem we are aware of is an incompatibility with ASP.NET MVC post Beta2. Did you happen to install it?

Thanks
Best regards

Hi Tjerk,

Can you answer Jean-Marc's question so he can help you resolve this issue?

Thanks!

 

Answer 5

Esther and Jean-Marc,
I did not install ASP.NET MVC post Beta2.
However, I believe my problem was caused by a technical hick-up I experienced during my install of VS 2010.
I will simply reinstall everything.

I have the issue which is similar to what you have faced, I've tried it and it works.
