I have two Visual Studios on my desktop: VS2005 and VS2008. I want VA to be installed only on VS2005, and VS2008 must be completely free of VA. Unfortunately, I haven't found any option to prevent registration VA in VS 2008. Can someone point me a way how to achieve this? |

Just in case you are interested, an alternative solution: you can reconfigure Resharper, so VA listboxes would be visible. Personally I prefer Visual Assist autocomplete, because it can complete variables even if you type only part of the variable (not form the first char) for example:
To do this in Resharper 4.5, you just need to select:
Resharper -> Options... -> Intellisense -> General -> Visual Studio
This example is an oversimplified one, just posted to explain what I am talking about  But this behavior works well in a real-world project. This way one can use the positive sides of both product
Anyway, I'm new to C# and do not use it for my everyday work yet, but I did a couple of tests, and VA and Resharper can work together really well.
Another option you should turn off is
VA Options -> Advanced -> Correction -> insert () and closing } ) ] ' "
since both product does this.
This way you don't have to turn off VA completely by putting ".cs" to the "Extensions to ignore" list.
If you may try this approach we will appreciate any feedback you may have regarding the co-operation of these product.
Also, I am interested if Resharper listboxes have a good feature that you love and which VA do not have.
We are planning to provide better co-operation with Resharper to remove these glitches with default options. |

You should not be seeing problems like this with VA disabled.
The first step is to try enabling VA and add ".cs;" to
VA Options -> Projects -> Extensions -> Extensions to ignore
if this does not help, which version of VA and ReSharper are you using?
Which OS are you using? |

Yeah, I know it. But the problem which enforced me to install VS2005 in addition to VS2008 was not completely solved - there is still a bit of incompatibility between VS2005 and VS2008 solutions. The problem is that I use bot C++(for win32) and C#(obviously, for .NET). And for C# I use JetBrains ReSharper which proved to be more powerful fo C# than VA. But RS does not provide any support for non-.NET languages and VA is best solution as C++ coding helper. Unfortunately these two plugins if being installed simultaneously get conflicted. The main conflict is if even I disable VA from menu(not from plugin manager) the RS autocomplete feature is still does not working - I have disable VA in plugin manager. But this is nevertheless a compromise solution because if I need to use both C# and C++ projects in my solution I have no way to use my favourite features from both VA & RS.
It would be perfect if VA could be completely disabled for certain langiuages. |

Unfortunately you cannot tell the installer to install only for VS2005. However, you can tell VA to not to load under VS2008:

Out of interest, why do you need to / want to do this? |
