Multiple Versions of VS Installed

• 
  Hi.
  
  I've not seen this happen before. Here we regularly run virtual machines with all three versions of Visual Studio installed (2005/2008/2010) and install the addin into each of these versions.
  
  I assume that the 2008 isn't the express edition, as that doesn't support addins?
  
  Could you try running reflector.exe and looking on the tools/integration options dialog - are the check boxes disabled for the 2005 and 2008 versions of Visual Studio?
  
  Thanks

  Sorry for my delayed reply, I guess I didn't check "Notify me when a repy is posted."
  
  Correct, the 2008 is not the express edition. The check boxes are checked off in Tools --> Integration Options. Yet, VS2008 still lacks the added reflector menu.
  
  How strange.

  The next thing to have a look at is the Tools/Add-in Manager dialog.
  
  Can you have a look to see if ".NET Reflector" appears and is checked?
  
  If it doesn't appear, then the addin should have been installed for the current user by putting a file named Redgate.reflector.addin into a subdirectory of the user's Dopcuments (for example c:\users\administrator\documents\visual studio 2008\addins\), so can you check to see if has been placed there?
  
  Thanks.

  ".NET Reflector" is not checked in Tools/Add-in Manager dialog. RedGate.Reflector.Addin is in C:\Users\William\Documents\Visual Studio 2008\Addins.

  If you check it in "Available Add-ins" column, the menu should then get added.
