VStudio does not start. How to remove a VStudio-AddIn [modified]
-
Hallo to all. Since I deinstalled a VStudio-AddIn via "Remove Programs", VStudio rejects to start. It pops up for a second and then it closes. I found the recipe in the help. The problem is, that the deinstalled AddIn still exists in the VStudio menues. VStudio tries to start it a startup and then it crashes. I found a recipe against this behavior in the help: Pressing the Shift-Button during startup of VStudio does not load the plugin and VStudio starts normally. It does also not enough to "totally disable" the AddIn in the VStudio-AddIn-Manager. My Question is: How can I deinstall (manually) a VStudio-Plugin? Kind regards

The other day I manually removed one by simply deleting the .AddIn and .dll files from: My Documents\Visual Studio 2005\Addins. This was for the MatchOptionsCommand addin which was initially installed via a .vsi. But I suspect it depends on how the addin is installed in the first place. I wouldn't be able to remove, e.g., DevExpress's Refactor! addin in this way.
