    Troels Gram - 2006-05-03

    A number of people have had problems installing DoxyComment for localized versions of Visual Studio 2005. After some research I've found that Visual Studio 2005 doesn't support the standard fallback mechanism for loading resources (wOOt??). The only solution to the problem is for me to provide some "stub" resource dlls for the major languages. I'll get a new version of DoxyComment up in a couple of days with support for the following languages:

    - English
    - French
    - Spanish
    - Chinese
    - German
    - Japanese

    Please let me know if you need DoxyComment to support other languages (post here).

      I tried the above approach to solve the problems with localized versions of VS. Unfortunately it doesn't solve all problems as toolbar images now dissapear. .. I've enquired the MSDN forums for clarification on the localization issues for add-in, but it doesn't seem like there is an easy way out as three different resource systems are in effect.. . Eeeerh. . this simple add-in has turned into a deployment nightmare. I'm seriously considering going back to using macros. For the simple task DoxyComment is trying to solve it would do just fine.. .

      I have a problem that may be related. I get DoxyComment listed in the add-in manager and it's listed under options, but I don't see a toolbar. I run Visual Studio 2005 Standard under a Swedish Windows XP Home Edition.

      I assume you running the latest version of the add-in (0.4.1). If that is not the cause you should upgrade.

      You could try to reset the add from the commandline. Follow these steps (make sure Visual Studio 2005 is closed):

      1: Open a VS2005 command prompt (Start -> All Programs -> Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 -> Visual Studio Tools -> Visual Studio 2005 Command Prompt).

      2: type: devenv.exe /ResetAddin DoxyComment.DoxyCommentAddIn

      3: Start up Visual Studio 2005 - the toolbar should be regenerated.

        I got the message "Could not find any resources appropriate for the specified culture or the neutral culture.  Make sure "DoxyComment.Resources.resources" was correctly embedded or linked into assembly "DoxyComment" at compile time, or that all the satellite assemblies required are loadable and fully signed.", but at least I have DoxyComment output.

        Ah, after I uninstalled it (and made sure everything was gone) an reinstalled it I managed to get it to work.

        Thanks a lot. Now I can get started documenting.
