I have installed CodeComplete 3.5 trial version but in Visual Studio I don't have CodeComplete addin. I had no errors during CodeComplete instalation. I installed to default directory. I don't have CodeCompleteAddin.AddIn on my system. What is wrong?

If anyone is having a problem loading Code Complete, here what I suggest you do (it is certainly to do with language difficulties, i am sure):

Create a file named CodeCompleteV35.AddIn

-Add the following content to it:


<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-16" standalone="no"?>

<Extensibility xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/AutomationExtensibility">

<HostApplication>

<Name>Microsoft Visual Studio Macros</Name>

<Version>8.0</Version>

</HostApplication>

<HostApplication>

<Name>Microsoft Visual Studio</Name>

<Version>8.0</Version>

</HostApplication>

<HostApplication>

<Name>Microsoft Visual Studio</Name>

<Version>9.0</Version>

</HostApplication>

<Addin>

<FriendlyName>Code Complete .NET Version 3.5</FriendlyName>

<Description>Complete Code .NET 3.5 Code Generator</Description>

<AboutBoxDetails></AboutBoxDetails>

<AboutIconData></AboutIconData>

<Assembly>C:\Program Files\Eurowise\Code Complete 3.5\CodeCompleteAddin35.dll</Assembly>

<FullClassName>CodeCompleteAddin35.Connect</FullClassName>

<LoadBehavior></LoadBehavior>

<CommandPreload>1</CommandPreload>

<CommandLineSafe></CommandLineSafe>

</Addin>

</Extensibility>

The path C:\Program Files\Eurowise\Code Complete 3.5\CodeCompleteAddin35.dll is language dependant

-Save the fle in the folder MyDocuments\Visual Studio 2008\Addins
-Start Visual Studio and load Code Complete.

Thank you very much for your help. Now it works ok.

this fixed the x64 install of RTM (change the Program Files to Program Files (x86))

Why don't you have a x64 install with this fix applied already in the RTM?

BTW - thanks for posting - at least we have an answer.

Thank you for posting the solution!.
It worked almost perfectly. For me I had to change the encoding for this one:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<Extensibility xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/AutomationExtensibility">
....

this is something you guys should fix up. I see that I'm not the onlyone having this problem. If I hadn't gave up I wouldn't found this solution. thanks for the post!.
