I'm not sure when this started but I recently updated my Visual Assist to 10.6.1845.
It seems that in the newer versions I can no longer run two copies of Visual Studio 2008 at the same time and have both have access to VA? I have several cross projects that I need to run from separate instances, is there a way to support this? Is a different type of license now required or is support for this just gone?
I don't even get a prompt or an error that it ran out of licenses or anything, just simply comes up disabled. All the menu items are disabled as well so I can't even look at if it has an error.

accord,
Aha! Thank you very much, had no idea that holding shift down was a shortcut for starting without addons. Guess I had just gotten used to the windows 7 super-bar enough that I started launching with shift click rather then normal, i'll start using middle click from now on.

I think you have run into a common problem: when you start a new instance of Visual Studio by shift+click, holding shift down also activates a Visual Studio feature: to disable all addins.
So just use an alternate method to start more instances. My favorite is the middle-click which does the same as shift+left click without the side-effect. Also, you can use right click and select Visual Studio from the context menu.
Hope this helps. |
