Known Issues
IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT FOR VISTA USERS: We've received reports from some of our users about trouble with installing SharpStyle Neutron on Windows Vista. We are working on making our installer Vista-compatible to ensure smooth installation of future releases. In the meantime, please follow these steps to install on Windows Vista:
- Download and extract this ZIP file
- Run the ProjectAggregator2.msi package
- Run the SharpStyle.Neutron.msi package
- Go to Start -> Programs -> Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 -> Visual Studio Tools
- Right click on 'Visual Studio 2005 Command Prompt' menu item and select 'Run as administrator'
- In the command window that opens type 'devenv /setup'
- Once that command completes, SharpStyle Neutron is integrated into Visual Studio
Installation seems frozen
Installation is very straight forward. Depending on the speed of the computer, installation might seem to freeze at one point (screenshot below). At that time Visual Studio is being updated and installation will continue shortly.
Visual Studio crash during Installation
This was reported only once
- During installation you get to "Removing backup files" screen.
- After some time Visual Studio reports a crash and installation rolls back
- Try running the following command (update path if your Visual Studio is not installed in default location)
- "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\Common7\IDE\devenv.exe" /setup
- It asks Visual Studio to refresh and find all new toolbars, templates, add-ins and additional packages (more info here)
- If this fails, try to repair your Visual Studio
- Add/Remove Programs
- Select Visual Studio
- Click Change/Remove
- Setup wizard will launch
- Choose Repair
- Try to install Neutron again
Solution Explorer refreshes multiple times
When choosing to "Show All Files", "Include in project", "Exclude in project" on a large number of items, you might see Solution Explorer refresh multiple times.
Project doesn't save
If you have highlighted option unchecked, when you try to save your project, Visual Studio will produce "This operation could not be completed. No such interface supported." We are working with Microsoft to resolve this issue.
Workaround: make sure this checkbox is checked.
