This problem can usually be fixed by using the "rename trick" described in the Object Mapper Troubleshooting section of the Installation Guide.  If this doesn't work, read and reread the whole section.
 
The AddIns Directory

Visual Studio looks for an XML file in its “AddIns” directory.

That directory varies depending upon your edition of Visual Studio and how you installed it.

The preferred location is:

C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Microsoft\MSEnvShared\AddIns

For the All Users location, you must have the Show Hidden Files and Folders option turned on to see the Application Data folder.

Alternatively, the directory may be in the user’s directory space at

%HOMEPATH%\My Documents\Visual Studio 8\AddIns

You can copy and paste this into Windows Explorer. Realize that this directory may not exist.

Jiggle the Object Mapper AddIn file

We can proceed now that we know where Visual Studio keeps its Add-in information.

ð    Exit Visual Studio.

ð    Navigate to the Visual Studio “AddIns” directory

ð    Rename IdeaBlade.DevTools.Orm.AddIn to IdeaBlade.DevTools.Orm.AddInXX

ð    Confirm for Windows that it is OK to change the file extension.

ð    Launch Visual Studio.

ð    Select Tools ► Add-in Manager … from the menu.

ð    Verify that “IdeaBlade Object Mapper” is no longer listed.

If you still see the Object Mapper listed, you won’t be able to revive the Object Mapper. There is some other reference to it somewhere. Please contact Customer Support.

ð    Exit Visual Studio.

ð    Restore IdeaBlade.DevTools.Orm.AddInX back to IdeaBlade.DevTools.Orm.AddIn

That should do it. Now we verify that the Object Mapper is installed.

ð    Launch Visual Studio again.

ð    Look for “IdeaBlade Object Mapper” at the top of the Tools menu.
