I installed VA X but it does not appear in VS2008. No "enter key"-Dialog, no toolbar -neither active nor inactive-.
** XP prof SP2, VStudio 2008 9.0.21022.8 RTM, VA_X_Setup1555.exe **
The VAX-Files are installed, and this is what the VAX installation wrote to my registry (but I miss something like a VisualStudio 9-AddIn-registration ??): ********************************************************************** [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\\CLSID\\{62F53314-142B-11D1-9291-9DE84EB1A654}] @="Visual Assist X Add-in"

VA 1555 does not support VS2008, you need a more recent version.
Try downloading VA 1640, this works perfectly in VS2008 for me. This assumes you are Not running VS2008 Express, since VA does not support any of the Express versions of the IDE.
