ClearCase for Microsoft Visual Studio installation planning
ClearCase® for Visual Studio can be
deployed with the ClearCase for Windows
client or with the ClearTeam

Visual Studio on a system where Microsoft Visual Studio is available, users can complete
ClearCase operations such as file
checkin and checkout, version compare, and view updates from the Microsoft Visual Studio
IDE. DevOps Code ClearCase for Visual
Studio is provided in two formats:
- ClearCase for Visual Studio
- Installed and updated by using Installation Manager.
- Installed as part of the DevOps Code ClearCase for Windows client installation.
- Installed on a system with DevOps Code ClearCase.

Explorer for Visual Studio
- Installed and updated by using Installation Manager.
- Installed as part of the ClearCase Remote Client installation.
- Installed separately on client systems without DevOps Code ClearCase, for ClearCase Remote Client use.
