Visual Studio 2005(RTM) Installed but no Source Control Integration

Today I installed the final version of Visual Studio 2005 professional and when I first started Visual Studio I got this error message:

Package Load Failure

Package ' Visual Studio Class Designer' has failt to load properly.

 

Here are my installation steps:

1. Installed Visual Source Safe 2005 and Visual Studio 2005.

2. Started Visual Studio and got an error message about the class designer pakage.

3. Removed Visual Studio 2005.

4. Used several removal tools from Aaron Stebner's to remove previous beta versions of Visual Studio.

5. Reinstalled Visual Source Safe 2005 and Visual Studio 2005

Ok finally the error message dissapeared, but what the heck! Where is my source control integration in Visual Studio??

6. Uninstalled Visual Studio 2005 and Visual Source Safe 2005.

7. Reinstalled Visual Studio 2005 first and then Visual Source Safe.

But still, there is no source control integration in Visual Studio.... am I doing something wrong or what?

UPDATE: 

I found it! The options menu didn't showed up all the settings. Why did they do that?? Anyway check the ' show all settings'  and change the source control setting. Thanks Erwyn!

I installed Visual SourceSafe 2005 first and then Visual Studio 2005 Team Suite (trial version). Source control integration works fine for me. Check the setting in "Tools | Options | Source Control | Plug-in Selection". If "None" is selected you don't see any menu items for SourceSafe. You can try running "devenv.exe /resetuserdata" on a Visual Studio 2005 Command Prompt to remove user settings left over from CTP and beta installations. I did this to try to fix a problem with "Connect to Team Foundation Server" not showing up in the Tools menu. Didn't work for me unfortunately ;(

It seems my problem with "Connect to Team Foundation Server" not showing up, has to do with the fact that Team Foundation Server integration is no longer installed with Team Suite ;(http://blogs.msdn.com/robcaron/archive/2005/06/17/430232.aspx) I had to manually install the Team Foundation Client ("Team Explorer") over VS 2005 Team Suite. Team Explorer can be found on the TFS Beta 3 Refresh installation medium.

I am having the same problem. However, when I go to Tools | Options | Source Control, the only option in my Current Source Control Plugin list is None. Microsoft Visual Source Safe isn't even an option. I have Source Safe 6.0d and it worked great with the beta version of Visual Studio 2005.

Thanks for the info! I could have gotten very upset about this one.
