Integrating Araxis Merge 2010 with Visual Studio 2010 and TFS 2010

I'm trying to get Araxis Merge 2010 integration with Visual Studio working and am coming up against a brick wall with the arguments you should pass to Merge.exe.

According to their documentation it arguments should be:

/wait /swap /a3 /3 /title1:%6 /title2:%7 /title3:%8 %1 %2 %3 %4

However this doesn't seem to work, does anyone have any idea what the problem could be?

When doing a merge the tool pops up, but the head says, /wait and /swap could not be found, it's almost as开发者_运维百科 if it's interpreting the flags as the files to compare.

It works fine for me - but there is a gotcha.

For merges, you must not set the .exe to "merge.exe" as sounds obvious, but to "compare.exe"! It's explained better here on the original post that they took those settings from.

(Hopefully that's what tripped you up)
