VS 2008 Custom Tool Issue

Hi I have my own tool to create a Wrapper class for the code that we use. I registered a Dll (using regasm / codebase) and can see the key in the registry. But V.S. says: "Unable to find a custom tool on this system." What is wrong with that? I don’t know the reason, can anyone direct me to this?

Adapted from Dimaka'blog: Install a custom tool for VS.

Can you confirm that you have taken all the steps?

  • Running Visual Studio Command Prompt

  • Run the commands there (VisualStudio.CodeGeneration.dll - assembly with my custom tools):

    RegAsm.exe C: .. full..path.here .. \ VisualStudio.CodeGeneration.dll / unregister

    GacUtil.exe / u VisualStudio.CodeGeneration

    RegAsm.exe C: .. full..path.here .. \ VisualStudio.CodeGeneration.dll

    GacUtil.exe / i C: .. full..path.here .. \ VisualStudio.CodeGeneration.dll

  • Visual Studio sometimes requires you to run the devenv / setup command to update the IDE.
