Troubleshooting Spell Checker setup

Ok, apparently my previous comment didn't make it so from memory:

I installed with no Joy. It was in the Add-in Manager but not the Tools menu. I have Vista\VS2008\Office 2007.

The registry looked the same as the pics but for 2 items.

The HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{}\Programmable key was missing.

The HKEY_CURRENT_USER\...\VisualStudio\9.0\AddIns\SpellChecker2008.connect\CommandPreload key value was 1 rather than 2.

Update:

I ran regsvr32 vsspellchecker.dll in the install dir and Joy! It is now in the Tools menu and runs.

Also note that the "Programmable" key that I mentioned was missing in my previous comment is now in the registry.

Note, that if you try the regsvr32 command in vista it will fail with UAC on, unless you open the command window in Start-Accessories by right clicking on Command Prompt and selecting run as administrator.

Is there a reason why it doesn't run all the time? Or better yet when ever a file is compiled?

No Joy. VS2008/MS Office 2007/Vista

Its listed in the Add-in Manager but not in the Tools Menu.

Going only from the info you show in your Registry pics I see the following differences:

1 - in Comp\HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{xxx...xx} I am missing the "Programmable" key.

2 - in Comp\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\VisualStudio\9.0\AddIns\SpellChecker2008.Connect

the "CommandPreload" value is 2 in your pic and 1 in my install.

I installed the spell checker for visual studio 2005 but it does NOT show up in the Tools menu. It does show up in the Add-in Manager. I checked the registry and it looks correct.

Does this work with a trial version of Word 2007? I'm trying it with VS 2008 and it shows up in the add-in manager but not in the tools menu.

Hi! Thanks for this nice tool. However, after installing the add-in for my vs2008, I could not find it from "Tools". I run my visual studio as administrator. I have checked registry and the key has been added correctly (just like your screenshot). And it is shown in Tools/add-in manager. Any suggestion what might go wrong? Thanks!

Amy - which version of Office you have installed? Does spell checking work in Word normally?
