EA 7.1 830 and MDG Integration for Visual Studio

[Pekka]

I have EA 7.1 830 and MDG Integration for Visual Studio 3.5.2 installed.

I'm using Visual Studio 2008 Development Edition with Team Explorer 2008. I'm connected to Team Foundation Server 2008.

The problem is that the MDG integration TFS features are not working. When I try to use the menu options related to those functions like importing Work Items nothing happens. Well actually something happens I get error messages in the Visual Studio recipe log(Pasted below). Looks like the integration is trying to use wrong version of the team explorer dll:s -> 8.x.x is the 2005 version of the Team Explorer.

I have send a priority support request about this but only got the basic what version of the MDG you are using reply. I have since send two replies to the question. One with the version of my MDG integration as requested and one with description of the actual bug in the MDG(It is refencing the wrong dll:s).

Another issue I'm having which might be caused by the problem above is that the MDG integration causes the Visual Studio to hang waiting for another process to complete. Solution to that is to terminate the EA.exe task lauched by the integration.

At this point the MDG integration is NOT usable. I can't use it at all because of the hangs. I really like EA and the actual EA software is stabile and once you get into it you really like the detail put to everything.

So support do your thing and either confirm the bug in your software or tell me that it's my configuration that is causing the problems.

We are currently piloting EA use in our company with 4 licences of EA and two for MDG integration so if those issues are not solved we probably have to look for something else to use for our modelling needs.
