Steps to Repro:
- Make a C# project in VS 2010 Professional on Windows 7 Ultimate 32-bit edition.
- Write some unit tests with the VS C# Unit Test wizard
- Download and install the latest RTM or Beta version of TestDriven.Net.
- Right-click on the testing project and select Test With NCover
- Wait
- See that NCover’s window is empty
How do I get TestDriven.net to generate a useful code coverage XML file with NCover?
So far, I’ve tried rebooting, uninstalling the RTM version and installing the Beta version, and running in Debug & Release modes.
Update with Output window text:

Unable to establish communications with the profiler. (0x2)
NCover couldn't create a coverage report.
The 2 steps work because NCover’s profiler is not registered properly, as described by KiwiDude.
