Works perfect but does not stay enabled #55

Closed GupTk closed 7 years ago

GupTk commented 7 years ago

I am using 2.5 with Visual Studio 2015 Update 3. The problem the Add-In does not stay enabled.

When I reenable it under Add-In Settings I have to restart Visual Studio. Then I get nice colored output until I restart Visual Studio again.

Any ideas?

I have Windows 7 and UAC disabled.

Thanks

Does this happen with the 2.4 release?

Mike, thanks for the fast reply.

Interestingly both 2.4 and 2.5 do not offer to install the extension to VS 2015 when I use the vsix file. The offer only 2010 and 2012.

I get the impression, that this might be related to the fact, that i have installed VS 2012 after 2015.

Do think this might be the reason?

Yeah, that's an issue I've run into with .vsix as well. You'll have to uninstall the extension everywhere and then install 2.4.

Mike, thanks again. after the installations troubles (I could not perform the installation succesfully) the extension decided to to stay enabled for the last 5 days.

Very strange but I close this issue for the time being.
