Since installing 13.1 I get Package 'DXCore for Visual Studio' has failed to load properly error when VS2008 starts. I cannot load DexExpress manually either. VS2010 and VS2012 works fine. See attached image for full error message. I have run a repair of Code Rush. How can I fix this?
Stephan,
CodeRush 13.1 does not support Visual Studio 2008. Please refer to the following blog post in this regard: DXperience 13.1 will be .NET 4 or above. However it looks like there are some old version bits on your machine causing this problem. Please check the following registry keys and remove them if they are present on your machine:
