The ORM Foundation

 HI all, first time trying to do NORMA within VS 2015 community edition UPdate 3

 I got VS going ( I think!) and ran the NORMA bat ( several different ways)

opened up VS and did see ORMModel  in the file list.

But no graphics when I dbl click. , but just the XML as below

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<?new?>
<ormRoot:ORM2 xmlns:orm="http://schemas.neumont.edu/ORM/2006-04/ORMCore" xmlns:ormDiagram="http://schemas.neumont.edu/ORM/2006-04/ORMDiagram" xmlns:ormRoot="http://schemas.neumont.edu/ORM/2006-04/ORMRoot">
    <orm:ORMModel id="modelId" Name="$fileinputname$"/>
    <ormDiagram:ORMDiagram id="diagramId" IsCompleteView="false" Name="$fileinputname$" BaseFontName="Tahoma" BaseFontSize="0.0972222238779068">
        <ormDiagram:Subject ref="modelId"/>
    </ormDiagram:ORMDiagram>
</ormRoot:ORM2>
 

CLicking on the XSLT icon also shows the XML

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"
    xmlns:msxsl="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:xslt" exclude-result-prefixes="msxsl"
>
    <xsl:output method="xml" indent="yes"/>

    <xsl:template match="@* | node()">
        <xsl:copy>
            <xsl:apply-templates select="@* | node()"/>
        </xsl:copy>
    </xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
 

any thoughts would be helpful  ( spent a lot of time getting the 2015 version community edition)

Hi Rob,

I have recently bought a new PC and installed VS2015 update 3 and the version of Norma that can be downloaded from the Library on this website -so it does work!

What I suggest that you do is to uninstall NORMA and PLiX from "Windows- Add or Remove programs"
Then run the PliX msi followed by the NORMA msi that you will see when you unzip the NORMA for VS2015 download. (They are the two top items - called "Windows Installer Packages"

 If NORMA installed correctly, then to start NORMA you proceed as follows in Visual Studio 2015 Community Edition.

Open VS2015
Click File>New>File
Scroll down the list
Double click on "Object-Role Modeling File" and NORMA will start.

Let me know how it goes.
