Hi All,

In my last post I asked how to make TracExplorer work with VS 2010
Beta2. After working for two days we figured out how to make it work.

So following is the way to do it.

1. Install Visual Studio 2010 Beta2.
2. Install TracExplorer though it supports VS 2005 or Vs 2008.
3. Go to the following location "C:\Program Files\TracExplorer\bin"
and open TracExplorer.VSTrac.AddIn in a notepad.
4. Replace the default text with the following text

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-16" standalone="no"?>
<Extensibility xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/
AutomationExtensibility">

5. Save it and close it. If it is not allowing to save it, then copy
the TracExplorer.VSTrac.AddIn on desktop open it in a notepad and do
the changes as written in step four. Save it and replace the existing
TracExplorer.VSTrac.AddIn in "C:\Program Files\TracExplorer\bin"
folder with the modified one.
6. Now open Visual Studio 2010 Beta2.
7. Click on Tools-> Options, Options window will open.
8. Expand Environment and click Add-in/Macros Security.
9. Click Add button and navigate to the path "C:\Program Files
\TracExplorer\bin" and click Ok.
10. Click on Tools-> Add-in Manager and check TracExplorer.VSTrac is
selected under Available Add-ins.
11. Verify the TracExplorer is visible by clicking View->
TracExplorer.
NOTE: Don't copy the TracExplorer.VSTrac.AddIn in "C:\Users\username
\Documents\Visual Studio 2010\Addins" location.
