What does it mean when Visual Studio disables an addin

by Visual Micro 11. April 2010 18:56

If Visual Studio 2005/2008 encounters a problem with an addin it will disable it by altering the addin xml.

To enable the addin again ensure the addin xml is in the "\document\visual studio x\addin\" folder, as per the installtion guide, and ensure the following settings are in the .addin xml

 <LoadBehavior>5</LoadBehavior>

<CommandPreload>1</CommandPreload>

<CommandLineSafe>1</CommandLineSafe>
