Tested first VA_X_Setup1418.exe and uninstalled. After that I installed VA_X_Setup1246.exe. No problems. Folder is C:\\Program Files\\Visual Assist X\
Started Visual C++ 6 and entered proper key, after that asks something about keys -> answered Yes.

Toolbar1 won't work (Visual Assist). Any of those buttons. Parsing seems to work and code is colorful, and that's it.

I don't have any other plug-ins installed. Also have tried to uninstall this and install the new version - no difference, don't work.

Any idea what to do?

Thanks, Sami

if you reinstall VA can you select yes when it asks you about resetting the IDE?

this may help, but it will remove any custom keybindings, etc, you have setup.

do you have any other plugin's installed?

After unistalling, "Try" is disabled and I can give the key -> "Key accepted."

After that it asks "Should Visual Assist X set these command keybindings?" -> Yes.

Toolbars name is now Toolbar2 and it doesn't work at all.

I don't have any other plugin's installed.

can you double check:

IDE menu -> tools -> customize -> add-ins and macro files

there should be an item called "Visual Assist X Add-in", and this should be checked.

do VA keyboard shortcuts still work? eg alt_o, alt_g, alt_up_arrow, alt_down_arrow, alt_shift_o, alt_shift_s

i am wondering if somehow the dll's for the toolbar are not working.

"Visual Assist X Add-in" is checked and shortcuts don't work. Only Alt+arrow up/down jumped to next {.

Do you have a system debugger running? If so, try VA X without it.

Can you send your key to [email protected]. We'll make sure it works.

Do you have any system utilities that might be intercepting commands, e.g. a language translator?

Sended the key and got .reg file to erase all information from registry.

Doesn't work. :( Debugger isn't running.

What kind of programs might intercept commands? I think I don't have any that of kind programs running.

the obvious candidates for intercepting keyboard shortcuts are programs that define a global keyboard shortcut. some examples include winamp (somewhere in options i believe), todo list (from codeproject.com) and any program that allows you to specify a shortcut key for running a specific program.

I terminated all possible processes that could intercept keyboard, and it doesn't not help. :(

It's not clear that VA is working at all. Are the context and definition windows visible in your source windows?

If you right-click in the selection margin does the VA menu appear or does the standard msdev context menu?

Try doing a regsvr32 of these dlls from the VA installation directory:
VAssist.dll
VA_X.dll

Context and definition windows are visible. Also "Go"-button works and right-click in the selection margin looks like that: http://www.wholetomato.com/products/features/images/menu.gif

regsvr32 "C:\\Program Files\\Visual Assist X\\VAssist.dll" -> FAILED
regsvr32 "C:\\Program Files\\Visual Assist X\\VA_X.dll" -> OK

DllRegisterServer failed in location C:\\Program Files\\Visual Assist X\\VAssist.dll.
Return Code: 0x8002801c

0x8002801c -> Error accessing the OLE registry

Do you have sufficient security rights/privileges?

Have you installed vs2005 or the 2.0 .NET framework? There are similar reports of the admin group being locked out of the registry:

http://blogs.msdn.com/astebner/archive/2005/08/28/457416.aspx

The first link has steps to follow to fix permissions.

Before attempting this fix, you might want to consider using regmon during regsvr32 to verify that is the problem you are experiencing.

I don't have VS2005 or 2.0 .NET framework installed before but I tried that. Didn't help. Just messed up my system registry -> system restore. :D

Did you try running regmon while doing the regsvr?

I did. It shows everything that happens in registry (=a lot!). Results:

regsvr32 "C:\\program files\\Visual Assist X\\VAssist.dll"

-> Log file here: http://kerba.fi/regmon.log

regsvr32 is failing due to access being denied to HKCR\\TypeLib\\{62F53319-142B-11D1-9291-9DE84EB1A652} (needed for the Visual Assist addin to register with VC6).

Does that key exist? If so, try deleting it and re-running regsvr32.
If it doesn't exist, are you able to create the key manually?

OK. I think we found the problem! Key exists but I can't access, change user privileges or even delete that key. Have tried with administrator rights -> can't remove or do anything else. Can I force it somehow?

Tried also Subinacl.exe to change privileges/user rights -> "Access denied"

How about trying to change the permissions for HKCR\\TypeLib - using the advanced window to "Replace permission entries on all child objects"? Make sure to backup the registry first...
