Visual Studio 2010 + ReSharper Not Working

Question

I've installed ReSharper 5 on two installations of Visual Studio 2010 Professional. In both cases, ReSharper claims it has installed successfully - but Visual Studio doesn't recognize the extension. It doesn't show up in the Extensions Manager, doesn't appear in Help - About - Installed products, and can't be found anywhere else in the environment.

I've tried install / uninstall of both Visual Studio and ReSharper, computer restarts, etc. Both machines have Visual Studio 2008 and ReSharper 5 works fine in these IDEs, and both machines are running Windows 7.

I've found other people online with this issue, but no solutions. Anyone know how to fix this?

Answer 1

Check that ReSharper is enabled in Tools->Options->ReSharper . Suspend and unsuspend it, in case that helps (I've heard that work before). Note that ReSharper will notice if more than one computer on a given network is running the same license, and disable all but one of the instances that are running. Check that hasn't happened to you.

Answer 3

I've fixed the problem by just copying the JetBrains folder from other version of Visual Studio:

This is visual studio 2010 folder for extensions: c:\\Program Files (x86)\\Microsoft Visual Studio 10.0\\Common7\\IDE\\Extensions\\

This is visual studio 2012 folder for extensions: c:\\Program Files (x86)\\Microsoft Visual Studio 11.0\\Common7\\IDE\\Extensions\\

I just copied from 2012 folder the 'JetBrains' and pasted to the 2010 extensions folder.
