Reflector does not recognise that I have VS2008

• 
  Hi,
  The following registry keys are checked to find whether VS is installed:
  HKEY Local machine\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\VisualStudio\9.0\ApplicationID
  HKEY Current user\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\VisualStudio\9.0\VisualStudioLocation
  or their x64 equivalents:
  HKEY local machine\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\VisualStudio\9.0\ApplicationID
  HKEY current user\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\VisualStudio\9.0\VisualStudioLocation
  
  So I would start with having a look there to see whether they exist. I could believe the HKCU doesn't get created until the first time you run VS, I don't know if that's a possibility for you?
  
  Let me know what you find. Cheers,

  That's a pain, we'd never found a machine where the applicationid registry value wasn't there.
  
  The workaround is to create it manually, it doesn't matter what it contains.
  
  Thanks for the report,
