.Net Reflector Add-in failing in VS 2008

I just downloaded and installed the free /trial version of the .NET Reflector (Version 6.5.0.135) and am seeing the following message when VS 2008 tries to load the Add-In:

The Add-in '.Net Reflector' failed to load or cause an exception.
Would you like to remove this Add-in?
If you choose yes, the file it was loaded from, 'c:\Documents and Settings\smitros\My Documents\Visual Studio 2008\Addins\RedGate.Rweflector.Addin', will be renamed.

Error Message: <Unknown Error>
Error Number: 80131604

Anyone have any advice?

    Hi.

    Please could you have a look at the log files which you'll find in your equivalent of

    C:\Users\clive.tong\AppData\Local\Red Gate\.NET Reflector 6

    and sent any non-empty log files to me [clive DOT tong AT red HYPHEN gate DOT com]

    Thanks

    No log files there... just a Reflector.cfg

    It looks like it the addin cannot be found. This usually happens because the distribution was moved after the addin was installed or because the addin dll has been marked as unsafe.

    Could you try uninstalling and then reinstalling the addin using the integration options dialog?

    If that doesn't work, where have you unzipped the Reflector distribution?

    That was it!

    I had unzipped it to a network share drive. Once I copied that folder to a local hard drive, and re-installed the Add-in it worked fine.

    Thanks for pointing me in right direction!
