    Quote from metalscroll’s home page:

    The add-in works with Visual Studio 2005 and 2008 (Express versions
    not supported, since they don’t allow add-ins). VS 2010 will not be
    supported, but Microsoft has released an add-in pack called
    Productivity Power Tools which provides the same functionality.

    You can forget about installing add-ins in Express editions of Visual Studio. They simply are not supported. Money spending time 🙂
