Hello, I installed the doxycomment plug-in in a RTM version of Visual Studio 2005 Enterprise, US English version. I changed the original installation path to "C:\Program Files\Doxycomment" when given the opportunity to do so. It installed without any warnings or errors.
But when I launch the plug-in, I get an "Access Denied" error. The folders are registered correctly in my VS2005 settings. I took a screenshot of the error message and placed it here :
It looks like Visual Studio is trying to load the add-in from a different location than you specified. You mentioned that you changed the installation path to be "c:\program files\doxycomment" and yet Visual Studio still tries to load the add-in from "c:\program files\DoxyComment add-in for Visual Studio 2005". I have verified that installation to other directories works just fine.
Try to reinstall the add-in to the default location and verify everything works (note: you must uninstall the old one first).
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
When I go in the "About box" (something like that, I don't have VS2005 installed over here), I see Doxycomment the installed product list.
It looks like a fundamental issue... I have installed and reinstalled several times over, logging out and back in again most of the time. I only have .Net version 1.1 and 2 installed. I will install .Net version 3 and see what happens.
I will keep you posted on my results.

I have tried installing and uninstalling to different location many times without any problems. I think the error is related to an exception in DoxyComment during startup. The only advice I can give you is to get the source code and try to debug the problem in Visual Studio yourself. Visual Studio makes it possible to debug add-ins in a second instance of Visual Studio, which can be quite handy to find problems like this.

I will try to debug the extension. I know the drill, I developped custom wizards and extensions in Visual Studio 5 and 6. Brushing up my C# will be the hardest part ;).
I'll get back to you sometime next week.
Thank you for your time !

I was getting nowhere with my debugging. So I started fresh with a super simple add-in, following a step by step guide for dummies (http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/f7fb383x(VS.80).aspx)
Turns out that simple generated add-in has the same problem ! So it must be my Visual Studio installation that is messed up somehow.
I will reinstall VS, it should fix it. Thank you !

Thank you, but that difference in name is really just me being lazy typing the whole thing.
I installed Visual Studio SP1 and I still have the problem, but now it is a file not found error.

DoxyComment requires only the .NET Framework 2.0.

I found what is wrong. It's not you, it's me.
