While working with Dexterity, I found myself in the situation that we had already created a few new builds and put them on the Visual Source Safe. However, the client wanted to get the build a few versions older than the previous one. Visual Source Safe does not have an opportunity to rollback some previous versions of code without losing new information. We were forced to rollback file by file and the new information had to be saved in local.

This situation could be resolved by using branching in TFS (Team Foundation Services). It allows us to support multiple releases at once. So, we can do bug fixing in some previous releases without losing the new one, which would also affect the new releases. But after some research I found out that TFS does not support connection with Dexterity and I have not found any other solution.

Do you have any ideas? Thanks.

When trying to install SQL Server 2008 64-bit on the Microsoft Server 2008 64-bit, I met the following issue: One of the prerequisites to installing SQL Server 2008 was .Net Framework 3.5SP1.

After trying to run installation of .Net Framework 3.5 SP1 64-bit the following massage appears: “You must use role management tool to install or configure Microsoft .net framework 3.5”

Since I was not familiar what the role management tool meant, I did research and resolve this issue in the below described way:

1. Open Server Manager (Start -> Administrative Tools -> Server Manager
2. Under “Server Manager” click “Features”

3. In the right hand pane, click “Add Features”
4. Expand the “.Net Framework 3.5 Features” and select the all features
5. Click “Add Required Role Services”
6. Click Next
7. Click Install
