Clarification of the steps from via Support Beyond Compare to use Beyond Compare 3 or 2 from Visual Studio and with Team Foundation System.
First run this little batch file to show you the exact location of BComp.exe:
@echo off call :show "%ProgramFiles%\Beyond Compare 3\BComp.exe" call :show "%ProgramFiles(x86)%\Beyond Compare 3\BComp.exe" call :show "%ProgramFiles%\Beyond Compare 2\BComp.exe" call :show "%ProgramFiles(x86)%\Beyond Compare 2\BComp.exe" goto :eof :show if not exist %1 goto :eof echo Beyond Compare is here: echo %~1
(I know that this will not find a Portable Beyond Compare installation).
Note that
BComp.exe
(for GUI use) andBComp.com
(for console use) are bootstrappers forBCompare.exe
. Both will wait when ran from a GUI or console for the comparison to finish. StartingBCompare.exe
will not wait. See BComp.exe vs BComp.com – Scooter Forums for more information on this.
Everywhere you see path to BComp.exe
below, enter the path that the above batch file tells you.
The first two pictures on the right show common steps for all three integrations. The images below are the specific ones for each integration. You can click on each image to view a larger version.
The steps work with the full version of Visual Studio and the Team Explorer edition of Visual Studio.
You can find different arguments for other tools on this excellent diff/merge configuration in Team Foundation – common Command and Argument values post by James Manning.
Compare
in the Operation combobox.path to BComp.exe
in the Command edit.%1 %2 /title1=%6 /title2=%7
You need Beyond Compare version 3 Professional for this.
(note: only the steps marked with * are different from above)
Merge
in the Operation combobox.path to BComp.exe
in the Command edit.%1 %2 %3 %4 /title1=%6 /title2=%7 /title3=%8 /title4=%9
This is for Beyond Compare version 2, and Beyond Compare version 3 Standard.
(note: only the step marked with * is different from above)
Merge
in the Operation combobox.path to BComp.exe
in the Command edit.%1 %2 /savetarget=%4 /title1=%6 /title2=%7

Hope this helps a few people.
