Tracy,
>I installed Modeling powertoys for vs2005 and now whenever I try to load or add a new class diagram to any project in vs2005 it bombs and visual studio completely closes. Any idea why I can't install and use that specific powertoy?
Try this:
- From the Visual Studio menu, select Tools | Add-In Manager.
- Find the entries for VS "Class Designer Enhancements" and "Modeling Design Tool Enhancements". Uncheck the Startup check boxes, which tells VS not to load these at startup. Also uncheck the check box to the far left of these two items
- Save your settings and exit Visual Studio
- Restart Visual Studio and open your project
- Select Tools | Add-In Manager again and now select the check box to the left of these two items
- Open up your class diagram and your PowerToys should work
There are a few conflicts with PowerToys and other technologies including Windows Vista...for now, this is the best way to get around the problem.
