How you can resolve Enterprise Library 5 Visual Studio 2012 error: "Could not locate the Enterprise Library binaries required to launch the configuration console"

2012/11/17 3 comments
  1. When right-clicking on my App.config to access the Enterprise Library configuration tool, I kept getting this error:entlib5install2
  2. after installing
    1. VS.net 2012;
    2. Enterprise library 5.0.414 through nuget (why does nuget install only this older version?);
    3. the unofficial Enterprise Library Extension vsix updated for VS.net 2012 published by the Enterprise Library team here.
  3. What fixed this error for me was (YMMV, November 2012):
    1. installing Enterprise Library 5.0 optional update 1 (=5.0.515) using this approach:
      • msiexec /i "Enterprise Library 5.0.msi" REINSTALLMODE=vomus REINSTALL=ALL
    2. – Adding to the vs.net 2012 SLN file, at the end of "Global" (immediately before "EndGlobal")
      • GlobalSection(ExtensibilityGlobals) = postSolution
        EnterpriseLibraryConfigurationToolBinariesPath = C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Enterprise Library 5.0\Bin
        EndGlobalSection
        entlib5install

How to automatically uninstall Visual Studio.net 2008/2010 and components

  1. Although not well-publicized, Microsoft has uninstall tools available for VS.net 2008 and 2010 (English).
  2. This one did the job of stringing together the individual uninstallers nicely here: uninstall-complete
  3. which beats doing it semi-manually as was explained here.

LLC Catalogue: This is not Google!

  1. I have been given access to the online catalogue program, learned that VS.net 2008 still supports classic ASP, and managed to make a couple of changes to the catalogue home  and search result and pages which will hopefully make your learning material searches more successful.
