This really saddens me. I installed ReSharper 4.0 Nightly Build #729 (the first) and it installed successfully and I was able to use. It worked surprisingly well! Fast-forward about a week and change later and I downloaded another build (#736) and saved the .msi to my Desktop. After the download completed I closed all open instances of Visual Studio and uninstalled the previously installed build and then started the install of the new build.
The installation went great and after it was complete I opened up Visual Studio 2008 to see what had changed and am greeted with the following:
I have tried restarting, opening and closing Visual Studio 2008 multiple times, etc... I have even tried downloading and installing the first nightly build again and then installing a newer build on top of it. No luck! I have also tried (numerous times) to repair the product installation. There is already an open case in JIRA about this.
I am patiently awaiting a fix for this to continue more thorough testing! Apparently I was supposed to install newer builds on top of the older builds. I wish I would've read this tidbit of information before I did what I did. Oh well.
If anyone from R# team sees this and can come up with any revelations please free to contact me. I'll help spread the word to others having the same problem.
UPDATE
Thanks to David I have resolved this!
- Windows + R (cmd)
- devenv /safemode
- Wait for VS 2008 to load
- devenv /setup
- Restart VS 2008
Back in business!
