The experimental instance works well for development. After making a change to the VS tools I'd like to use it "in anger" in the production instance working on real code, and rebuilding/reinstalling the release MSI is just an extra step requiring more time.
If it's difficult to resolve or likely to cause issues then it's no big deal, I was mainly just curious. Is there a wiki page which explains this? I could add one?

The non-MSI installation is not supported as we use the GAC for resolving dependencies of "IronStudio" components between Ruby and Python. A non-MSI installation using VSIX has no dependency management, so things could break easily. ~Jimmy On May 23, 2011, at 4:28 PM, Orion Edwards <ori...@gallagher.co.nz> wrote: Re-post of this email as it accidentally was sent as a reply to someone else's... Oops ------------------------------------------------- I'm hoping to do some work to fix some of the bugs in IronRuby's visual studio integration, but I'm having a few issues getting a dev environment up and running. - I can build IronStudio.sln from the Solutions folder, and my modified version of the IronRuby tools loads in the visual studio experimental instance and is fine. - I can build the full IronRuby installer, and when I install it, my modified version of IronRuby tools loads in the normal visual studio instance. But, I can't figure out how I can build a modified version of IronRuby tools and run it in a normal instance without doing the full MSI release build. Simply building the tools and then launching a normal visual studio instance produces this error message when I open any solution: --------------------------- Microsoft Visual Studio --------------------------- The 'Microsoft.IronRubyTools.IronRubyToolsPackage, IronRubyTools, Version=1.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=7f709c5b713576e1' package did not load correctly. The problem may have been caused by a configuration change or by the installation of another extension. You can get more information by running the application together with the /log parameter on the command line, and then examining the file 'C:\Users\orione\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\VisualStudio\10.0\ActivityLog.xml'. Continue to show this error message? --------------------------- Yes No --------------------------- If I click Yes, then the projects load, but this dialog reappears whenever I launch VS or load any solutions. If I click no, VS disables the IronRuby addin, and I have to run devenv /ResetSkipPkgs to put it back (and then the error messages come back). The only way to "fix" the issue is to uninstall/reinstall the IronRuby tools MSI itself. Is there a way to get the non-experimental instance of visual studio to load IronRuby tools without having to do a full build if the MSI in release mode?
