    We're seeing quite a lot of this being reported by customers lately, though it's not yet clear what the cause could be.

    What other add-ins do you have installed?

    Do the menu items for ANTS appear in the list provided by Tools/Customize (under Addins in the Commands tab)?

    I have Resharper, Tabs Studio and SQL prompt.

    ANTS & SQL Prompt don't show up in the list of categories. Even though SQL Prompt's menu is active and usable.

    Unfortunately, Visual Studio provides very little feedback when an add-in isn't functioning properly, so it's tricky to debug these issues.

    If you go to help/about microsoft visual studio, do you see the add-in in the list of 'installed products'?

    If not, does the ANTS program files folder appear in the registry key 'HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\VisualStudio\8.0\AutomationOptions\LookInFolders'?

    If it does, is there a 'HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\VisualStudio\8.0\AutomationOptions\LookInFolders' key?

    Does the FixVS2k5.bat script, found in the ANTS program files directory, fix the problem? It probably won't if the add-in isn't loading in the first place.
