Storyboarding not working or not installed completely?

Question

Hi

I have the latest patched VS 2012 Premium RC and TFS installed.  In Team Explorer I can see the Storyboarding tabs in Work items but I cannot create a storyboard from the work item.  There is no item in my Visual Studio Start menu to launch Powerpoint and create a storyboard.  I can see the storyboard ribbon in PowerPoint but when I click the Link button, I cannot connect to TFS and there is a message about saving to a shared location.

I think that something didn't get installed.

Am I missing something?

Thanks

Hi Peter,

I am moving your thread into the Team Foundation Server and Visual Studio Agile Tools in Visual Studio Vnext  Forum for dedicated support. Thanks for your understanding.

Hi Peter,

From what I understand in order to associate a storyboard with a workitem, you need to store the storyboard in a shared location such as a shared LAN drive or sharepoint.  The MS Storyboarding product does not attach the powerpoint file to a workitem.

If you are interested in doing UI Storyboarding with PowerPoint, you might want to checkout power-story.com as well, as it a great compliment to MS Storyboarding.

Thanks, I see it all works nicely when you save to a shared location.    I had stupidly saved locally.  We dont use SharePoint so I need to see if I can get Confluence setup with WebDav then we can use that instead.

Power-story looks like a nicer solution.
