Originally posted by GregD Find the file IdeaBlade.VisualStudio.OM.Designer.vsix in the DevForce installation folder (typically C:\Program Files\DevForce 2010\) and double-click it to launch it.

That worked! Thanks for the help.]]> Mon, 14 Jun 2010 05:52:50 -700 http://www.ideablade.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1887&PID=7315#7315 http://www.ideablade.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1887&PID=7289#7289 Author: GregD

It's just important that you've run Visual Studio at least once, and chosen a settings profile, before you install DevForce. It doesn't care which profile you choose.

I can't seem to install DevForce for Silverlight successfully.

I've followed the instructions in the installation guide several times. I'm running the RTM version of VS2010, I have both the Silverlight 4 Tools and the Silverlight 4 toolkit installed. I'm not sure if it matters but I run VS2010 as administrator.

I downloaded the latest version of DevForce from the website (6.0.3.1?) and ran the installer.

I have the project templates for DevForce but the extensions manager shows no extensions installed.

Any ideas on what I should do?
