I could upgrade Reflector itself though, but still VS2010 prompts me to upgrade... Ben

Hi, We're currently looking into this issue. It looks like there is an existing bug in VS2010 which causes the 'filepath-too-long' error for many other digitally signed Extensions as well. You can download a zipped copy of Reflector from http://www.reflector.net/zip-file-download/ while we look into this issue further.

I'm guessing here but I have seen this kind of windows error before- whenever I have downloaded to and installed from /Temporary Internet Files (in your AppData folder). Perhaps simply download to desktop and retry.

Probably best off managing this through the extension manager. In visual studio go to tools -> extension manager and uninstall the older add-in. restart visual studio. Then go back to the extension manager and search in the visual studio online gallery for ".net reflector" to re-install.
