Enterprise Library 5.0 64 bit Configuration Utility


I have both version 4 and 5 of the ENT Lib installed on my machine.

Version 4 has a configuration utility. I can't find it in 5.0

I read this:

Enterprise Library includes a stand-alone configuration console, and a configuration editor that integrates with Microsoft Visual Studio®. The stand-alone console is provided as versions specifically aimed at the 32-bit (x86) platform and versions compiled for any platform.

I presume that I must have a 64 bit version of VS2010 Ultimate installed. How can I tell?

I see documentation that reads as follows, but I don't see the config utility in my Start menu and don't have this content men option available:

Open the stand-alone configuration tool from your Start menu, or right-click on a configuration file in Visual Studio Solution Explorer and click Edit Enterprise Library V5 Configuration.

How do I get the new Configuration Utility for 5.0?


Solution

  • Enterprise Library includes four versions of the configuration tools in order to support the Visual Studio integrated editor, and 32-bit and 64-bit platforms.

    The integrated Visual Studio Enterprise Library configuration tool displays types that belong to the project and its referenced assemblies. See more on this here.

    The Configuration tool is packaged with the Enterprise Library MSI.

    However, you can also download it as a standalone from Microsoft Download Center: or the Visual Studio Extension Gallery.
