Hi, I am trying to install the add-in for VS 2010 SP1 on WIndows 7 (64 bit).

I'm getting and error message saying: "The Add-in '.NET Reflector' failed to load or caused an exception. Would you like to remove this Add-in? ....."

When i start VS with /log i don't see anything in the logs. I unlocked the zip file before i extracted it and installed the add-in.

I know there are other posts about this, but they state that it should have been fixed. I can't get it working whatever i do. One thing to note is that my home drive is on a network fileshare, so that is where my add-in folder is.

Using .NET Reflector 7.4.1.193

TIA

Please can you take a look in your equivalent of

C:\Users\clive.tong\Documents\Visual Studio 2010\Addins

and take a look at the contents of the AddIn file. This contains inside it a path to the addin dll. Please can you verify that this points to a valid executable, and that this executable is in a directory that contains the other unpacked Reflector zip contents. Thanks.

Thankyou, i checked the path in the footer of the file you mentioned, it was pointing to the correct place but that place was on my desktop which is also on a remote drive. When I moved the folder containing the unzipped executables into my program files folder, and re-installed the add-in, it all started working.

Thanks

Hmm I get this also but unfortunately your solution did not work for me. The error number i get is:

Error Number: 80131515

The path in the .Addin file correctly points to C:Program Files (x86)ReflectorRedGate.Reflector.Addin.dll

Is there anything else i can try?

Ahh - i got it to work - i also had to unblock the zip file before extracting reflector (i had unblocked all the dlls/exes but apparently that wasn't enough).

Cheers, Chris
