Visual micro was unable to load a debugger extension

After successfully installing the plugin on my laptop I tried to install on my desktop but got this error. Screenshot attached.

Both machines are Windows 8 64 bit installs.


I can see a previous post with a similar issue that was resolved by logging in as admin. I'm already an admin on both PC's

Thanks for your help.

Do you have .net3.5 enabled?

The debugger visualizations are open source so the source code is shipped with the install of the plugin. We support VS2008,2010 and 2012 using the same files, it is less complicated this way but does mean you need .net 3.5 installed as the lowest common denominator that works with all versions of windows.

Hi Tim, yes I've verified with this tool:

It seems strange,

See if a zedgraph.dll exists in the folder with the PerformanceMonitor.dll and see if there is .net3.5 version of the following file in the windows gac :-

Code
Select All
Visual.Micro.Debugger.Data.Extensions.dll


The gac on my machine is here:-
Code
Select All
C:\Windows\assembly\GAC_MSIL\Visual.Micro.Debugger.Data.Extensions



If the Visual.Micro.Debugger.Data.Extensions.dll is in the visual micro program folder and not in the gac then this is the problem and is resolved by control panel uninstall (vsiual micro) and then running the installer again with admin privileges. This relates to the main plugin installer which is responsible for the gac registration process (not the debugger installer)
