The ANTS 5 Visual Studio menu is empty and disabled

joshnorton

Hi, I have both the ANTS Memory Profiler and Performance Profiler (versions 5) installed, and the included Visual Studio addin to go with them. What I find however is that after a few days following the product installation the addin menu "ANTS 5" somehow becomes disabled and when you right click on the toolbar, choose customise, then click on the "ANTS 5" menu you find it also contains no items.

If I re-install the ANTS products, the menu appears again correctly, but after a few days it becomes disabled again. When I last upgraded the version of the ANTS software the menu came back again too, but also became disabled again after several days. Re-installing the addin following the procedures found elseware on this site has no effect - the menu stays disabled.

Any ideas? I've got ANTS Memory Profiler 5.2.0.49 standard edition, ANTS Performance Profiler 5.2.0.26, and Visual Studio 2008 9.0.30729.1 SP

Same issue here !

I just noticed this as well, I'm also using Visual Studio 2008, and I know I've recently used it. Suddenly the menu is disabled!

Anyone have a solution yet?

I suggest to use

...Red Gate\ANTS Memory Profiler 5\FixVS2K8.bat

PS:
Close all instances of VS2008 before executing.
