Trick to install the Aggiorno Add-in in Visual Studio Shell Integrated Mode

What are we facing?

I have some products integrated in Visual Studio 2008 Shell (integrated mode) like Phalanger. I would love to have Aggiorno Add-in installed in VS 2008 Shell integrated mode, so I could use it along with the integrated products.

The Solution

Let's assume you have Visual Studio 2008 Shell Integrated mode already installed. Let's assume you have .msi file of Aggiorno which is the installer for the Aggiorno Add-in.

You’ll first have to run the following registry file, that you can download:

InstallOnVsIntegrated.reg (340.00 bytes)

Which contains the following code

 [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\VisualStudio\9.0\Setup]
"Dbghelp_path"="C:\\Program Files\\Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0"

After you run it (in Vista you do a right-click on the file and click "Merge") you now can install Aggiorno Add-in on Visual Studio Shell, just run the installer.

In that way you will be able to see Aggiorno along with Phalanger coexisting happily.
