    Thanks for the report.

    We are running that version of Visual Studio here and haven't seen the problem. Please can you get us some more data about this problem by doing:

    (i) Get rid of the add-in by starting Reflector, going to tools->integration options, unchecking all of the add-in check boxes and pressing ok.

    (ii) Reinstall the addin by going to tools->integration options, checking the add-ins and pressing ok.

    (iii) send the add-in definition file that gets created, (it's roughly 700k) which will be in the equivalent of
    C:\Users\Administrator\Documents\Visual Studio 2010\Addins\RedGate.Reflector.Addin
    to me at clive DOT tong @ red-gate.com.

    I'm having the same problem. Not sure if rkaine already sent his add-in definition, but I'll send it too, maybe it helps.

    rwwilden, thank you very much for your help getting to the bottom of this problem.

    For the record, it is due to files being blocked by the operating system when they have been downloaded from an untrusted zone. They cannot be unblocked when they are placed in certain locations. The workaround is to copy them to the users local directory, unblock them there, and then copy them back.

    I've logged this as RP-682.

    Sorry for the delay getting back to this. Been on site at customers since January, just got an opportunity to play with VS2010 again today. Of course the error resurfaced.

    I did as Clive recommended. Copied the files to my desktop, unblocked them. Copied them back to Program Files (x86)\Reflector Pro and Viola! everything works correctly.

    Thank you for your quick response. Sorry for my "not so quick" response.

    FYI, I LOVE Reflector!
