Recently I came across a recommendation for a Visual Studio plugin called Refactor! For Visual C++ that looks like it would be very useful in helping me tame a particularly pastalike legacy application that I’ve inherited. Unfortunately, the download links appear to be broken and I can’t find a mirror anywhere online.

I’ve also tried to contact DevExpress, but they suggested that Refactor has been effectively discontinued by being rolled into CodeRush Express and that I use that. Since CodeRush does not support C++, and even further doesn’t work with Visual Studio 2005, I am unable to use it.

Does anyone know of (or can provide) a mirror for the Refactor! for VC++ installer? I’m sure I’m not the only one who’s stuck in VS2005 that would benefit from this tool.

    DevExpress responded to an issue in their tracker with a link to just the Refactor component. Unfortunately, I couldn’t get it to work for me.

    For posterity, here’s the link they sent, and the issue ticket:

    Edit: Before someone else says it, Visual Assist X does support Visual Studio 2005. I was interested in Refactor mostly for the fact that it is was a free product that I could use at work without having to go through purchasing and licensing issues.
