Could not load Assembly EnvDTE Version=8.0.0.0.0.

[GoogleCodeExporter]

I downloaded makeitso from the featured download link and unzipped it in a 
directory on the PATH. When running it (under Win7 64bit) without any 
parameters I'm getting the following output:

>>>
Parsing .\myproject.sln
Fatal error: Could not load file or assembly 'EnvDTE, Version=8.0.0.0, 
Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b03f5f7f11d50a3a' or one of its dependencies. 
The system cannot find the file specified.
<<<

Given the purpose of this project, it shouldn't be unusual that I don't have 
VisualStudio installed. I did a web search for the error message above and 
everything I found mentions devenv.exe. Could it be that this is not a Release 
build?

Thanks for your help (and coming up with this project!)!

Hi,

I'm sorry to say that make-it-so only works if you have Visual Studio 
installed. This is because it uses Visual Studio automation to read the 
solution and project files. It doesn't read the files as text, it uses Visual 
Studio to read them.

So unfortunately you do need VS installed to use it.

Sorry that this isn't as helpful as you would like...

Richard
