workspace lkennerh2 already exists

Post by MC_gemensamt »

Hi,
I have got a new computer and had to re-install MadCap Flare v8 on it.
When I want to import our Project from Source Control and TFS, I run into problems.
I follow the wizard and when I click on Finish I get the error message:
The workspace LKENNER2;Linda Kennerhed already exists on computer LKENNER2.

I don't know what to do, does anyone have any idea?

I have also tried to download the Project from TFS on my computer and open the Project from there, but then I run into other problems and Flare ends up crashing and shuts down.

Thank you.

Hi,
I did use TFS some years back at a former employer and ran into some trouble as well with it when getting a new laptop. My advice, if you haven't done so already, is to speak to the developers who use TFS. They (or at least one/few) will know some tricks on how to deal with this kind of stuff. That was my experience. I had to delete workspaces and reconfigure new ones, if I remember correctly. Wouldn't recommend to do that, unless you know what you are doing :)
If your IT department is fit on TFS, maybe they could help as well.

Hi,
Thank you for your answer.
I did remove my workspace and had to create a new with a different name.
Then I could import again.
I ran into some new trouble when I wanted to insert an image in my project, but I figured that one out by myself.
Some files were read-only and had to be changed.
Now it's seems to work.
Thanks again.
