Today a colleague ask me to help.
On his system all ReSharper menus are grayed out. Also the Visual Studio Add-In Manager does not show this add-in.
He tried:
- a new installation: without success,
- running with administrative privilegeg: without success,
- looking in event- and application-logs: no entries.
After searching a little bit with old buddy google we found this message: Wild World of Visual Studio -- Mysterious Component
We downloaded and installed the latest Microsoft Core XML Services (MSXML) 6.0 Service Pack 1 and ReSharper works fine. :-)
The colleague remembered that he uninstalled SQL Server 2005 – and for this MSXML6 is a installation feature – so a full deinstallation removes MSXML6 also. :-(
