Visual studio 2005 plugins and Vista
2008-06-12 17:28:31 by Luca TagliaferriVista is a new challenge every day but this time putting together Vista + Visual Studio 2005 has been really a pain. After, hardly, succeeding in making them talk together I faced many problems when installing many plugins I have used for years.
For many reasons Visual Studio plugins have strange behavior sometimes when installing with Vista: one example is GhostDoc that I have used effectively for years. After a day spent to try all the workarounds like this I found out that this and many other plugins were put by the installation procedure in this folder:
C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\MSEnvShared\Addins.
The plugins started working again as soon as I put manually the plugins that were positioned there it in the correct folder that is this one:
C:\Users\MyUser\Documenti\Visual Studio 2005\Addins
