Manually setting Visual Studio 2003 source control provider

If you install Visual Studio 2003 after you install Perforce 2004.2 you will not have access to Perforce’s source control provider until you change HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\SourceCodeControlProvider\ProviderRegKey from “Software\Microsoft\SourceSafe” to “SOFTWARE\Perforce\P4”.

Whidbey setup project race condition

Whidbey appears to suffer from an unhandled race condition when you “simultaneously” re-build a Windows Forms setup project and use the Add or Remove Programs control panel to remove the previously installed version.

Sometimes the build will fail with a missing file error in the installation folder. Sometimes the application will fail with an unregistered dependency.
