Using ironscheme in visual studio 2008

Question

Though it says on the IronScheme codeplex site that a plugin is included for visual studio, I have no idea how to get ironscheme working with VS...

Is it possible? If so , how?

Thanks

Hi

Firstly, you definitely need Visual Studio 2008 SP1, without SP1 it will cause problems.

Secondly, follow the instructions in the visual-studio.txt file.

Run from the command line:

1. If admin: RegPkg /codebase <absolute path of IronScheme.VisualStudio.dll>

2. If not admin: RegPkg /ranu /codebase <absolute path of IronScheme.VisualStudio.dll>

3. devenv /setup

Now start VS, and open a file with a 'ss' or 'sls' or 'scm' extension.

Hi, I followed the steps mentioned above.( OS Windows 7.0, Visual Studio 2008 SP1)

Step 2 ( non admin ) got executed successfully.

I had to run "devenv /setup" ( in visual studio 9.0\common 7\IDE folder) elevated command window. I did and it was successful( no error message came out, no success msg either).

Now, if I open a file with ss extension , the syntax is not highlighted.

Can you please tell me what I am missing?

Thanks, Ravindra.

Followup Question:

I see that it works with VS2008 SP1...

Does this plugin work with VS2010?
