I know that CodeRush Xpress is intended to be used on VS 2008 and not on VS 2005.
But since I can’t migrate to VS2008 yet, I want to install it on VS2005 and don’t care it’s not supposed to work.
My base assumption is that it can be done, this is based on the fact that the rest of the free re factoring products from DevExpress do work on VS 2005.
It is possible, and here what you need to do it.
Make sure VS is closed.
Install RefactorCpp.
Install CodeRush Xpress.
Apply this registry patch:
Open VS.
Enable ‘DevExpress Tools’ add-in in visual studio, Tools -> Add-in manager. Check the enable and startup checkboxes.
And now you are the proud user of CodeRush Xpress on VS 2005.
P.S. This works for me on:
Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 Version 8.0.50727.762 (SP.050727-7600)
