I have the vsip (7.1) + extras installed. When I install va-x it seems to go ok but when I click on 'visual assist options' (toolbar or menu entry) all I get is the text 'VSIP: Developer edition, all third-party packages allowed to load' in the output window.
I've tried installing with ENVSDK_REGKEY unset but this didn't help.
Righto - I had workspace whiz and something called 'managed add-ins' - which I was fiddling with to get a command prompt inside .net I removed both and reinstalled va.net/va-x and it's working now. Then I reinstalled wwhiz (probably don't need that now I have vassist) and it still works. I can't find the install for the managed add-ins, so I can't say for sure if it was that. I reinstalled vsip and vsip extra and everything still works. Sorry I didn't just uninstall everything first. When I find the managed-addin thing I'll install it and see if it causes the problem Rob
