Visual Studio jQuery IntelliSense fix KB958502 does not recognize visual studio 2008 install on windows server 2008 x64.

Question

So just this week I had the opportunity to re-build my development machine and I opted to use Windows Server 2008 x64 version for my operating system. I re-installed Visual Studio 2008 along with all of my other development tools. I surprised to see that the KB958502 hot fix did not recognize my installation of Visual Studio 2008. I wonder if there is a solution to this or if there is an alternative means of manually enabling jQuery intellisense.

Thank you.

Update: Stuart Dunkeld was correct I forgot to install Visual Studio 2008 SP1

Answer 1

If you tried these : jQuery Intellisense in VS 2008 and Add reference to javascript file and no hope, so try to add this line in the first line of your JS file:

/// <reference path="jquery-1.3.2-vsdoc.js" />

And make sure jquery-1.3.2-vsdoc.js file is in the same directory of your JS file.

Answer 2

Have you installed Visual Studio 2008 SP1, which is a prerequisite for this hotfix? See also this page..

Answer 3

so it seems you were in fact able to successfully install and use jQuery intellisense on your VS 2008 SP1/Windows Server 2008 x64 bit installation. - is that correct?

I am working in the same environment, but cannot seem to get intellisense going. I have installed the hotfix with no error, and I made sure I am running SP1 in my VS2008, yet still no intellisense for me.

There must be a missing link since you got it to work - was there any step that you omitted from this discussion?

Answer 4

My issue noted above was resolved. The problem was that I had accidentally downloaded and installed jquery-1.3.2.min.js on that machine instead of jquery-1.3.2.js My jQuery intellisense now works.
