Unable to load Snippet Designer in Windows XP and VS 2010 #110

Tried to install Snippet Designer 1.6.2 on VS 2010 Sp1REL (en) in Windows XP Sp3 32bit (ger), but did not work, a message box pops "This extension is not installable on any currently installed products."

Using Snippet Designer 1.6.1 from repository, the same configuration works, but while loading the VS-IDE a message box pops with message: "The 'Microsoft.SnippetDesigner.SnippetDesignerPackage, SnippetDesigner, Version=1.3, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=null' package did not load correctly.

Examinig the ActiviyLog.xml shows: 1) [ERROR] Could not load file or assembly 'Microsoft.VisualStudio.Text.UI.Wpf, Version=11.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b03f5f7f11d50a3a' or one of its dependencies. The system can't find the file.

The following extensions are installed: NuGet (2.8.60318.667) , CodeMaid (0.7.3), VisualSVN (4.0.12.0) and Productiviy Power Tools (10.0.20626.18).

I dont know what to do, any help appreciated. Talisha

Addendum> Examining the Windows XP assembly cache shows that the higest assembly version installed is 10. Version 10 referes to .NET 4.0, version 11 to .NET 4.5, in which I believe, can not be installed on Windows XP. Is it true then, that SinppetDesigner does not support WindowsXP anymore? I can't find a notice on that either, which would be sad to me, as I'm currently using a VirtualMachine to develop my applications in VisualStudio 2010 and plan to do so in future.

Thanks Talisha

At last! I've found a link to an older version SnippetDesigner (1.5.0), seems to work nicely on VS 2010 and Windows XP (32bit)

See here: http://snippetdesigner.codeplex.com/releases/view/111520#ReviewsAnchor

Albeit I must admit that the current description for web site "Visual Studio Gallery" reads "valid only for VS 2012+", and that switch in requirements must have happend shortly also, but here on github the offical support for VS 2010 remains still active ? Version 1.6.2 refuses to install in VS 2010 completely, version 1.6.1 needs .NET 4.5 (no Windows XP possible), version 1.5.0 is the last known woking with VS 2010 to me.

Thanks Talisha
