This morning I downloaded Visual Studio 2008 Beta 2.0 and installed it over the day. As always when a new version is out I’m looking forward to use the new features, but… As always I start missing the Add-Ins I usually use in the old version of the IDE - especially this is the case with ReSharper. So I tried out a few things and finally got it to run.

  1. Add the path to ReSharper’s Bin directory to the “Add-In File Paths” (Tools | Options | Environment | Add-in/Macro Security)

2) Import the following text as *.reg file to your registry (modify path to ReSharper to fit you setup if necessary).
