I am trying to play with check-in policies. I installed it, then added it to the project. Everything seems to be OK.
Now I delete my DLL from desired location. I have two Team Projects visible in Team Explorer and now every time I am trying to check Source Control checkin policies it throws a error that policy is missing and provides installation instructions - but it's doing it twice! I guess it'll throw addiotional exception for every added team Project... That seems like a bug to me.
Now suggestion - those isntallation errors are shown when I am trying to access checkin policy setting on a source control - that's nice but wouldn't it make more sense to show installation instructions when somebody tries to check in and doesn't have policy on his/her machine
And a question - I suppose Type property determines what will be shown in Add Policy box - why then it shows for me the full dll path instead What may be wrong

Thanks for the response.
I assume you updated the registry when you moved the policy. Could you provide the 'Data' value for the registry entry for your policy (value you changed it to after you moved it) It will be in either HKLM or HKCU - \SOFTWARE\Microsoft\VisualStudio\8.0\TeamFoundation\SourceControl\Checkin Policies.
Thanks,

Actually I found an answer on a question - I move dll to the folder which contains spaces in the name so on the policy definition stage it failed to find assemply to display file name - that's a bug for sure, guys!
Now I am forced to place the policy DLL into some other location with no spaces in the name.

Can you provide more information about the folder you placed this assembly in Our default policies are stored under "Program Files" (with a space) as are some personal policies I have created. Does your policy reference other assemblies Where are they located
I would like to get more details to figure out why you had issues with your policy in that particular drive.
Thanks,

I had policy under c:\MyPolicies and it worked fine. As soon as I moved it under c:\MyProject\My Business Framework it stopped working and when I was trying to assign the policy the in the checkin policies window - it shown the error on the bottom of the fwindow, something like "can not find assemply a file:\\C:MyProject\My" - looks like it stopped at the first empty space...
