I have recently started using VS 2010 for SL development (SL 2011), but I cannot get the "Code Inspector" tool to show up in the "Add-ins Manager" in Visual Studio 2010. I am using VS 2010 Professional. Any ideas?
Thanks,
Tim

Resolution steps tested and verified to bring the Code Inspector in Visual Studio 2008 - (VS 2008).
1. Navigate to C:\Program Files\Common Files\microsoft shared\DynamicsSL and copy the files.
CodeInspector.Addin
CodeInspector.dll
2. Navigate to the "Visual Studio 2008" folder under the Documents folder of the logged in windows user. Paste the files (CodeInspector.Addin and CodeInspector.dll) to the "Addins" folder.
for eg. copy the files to C:\Users\USER_NAME\Documents\Visual Studio 2008\Addins
Note: If Addins folder is not available, create a folder named "Addins"
3. Open the file "CodeInspector.Addin" in any text editor and set the version to 9.0 as shown below.
<HostApplication>
<Name>Microsoft Visual Studio</Name>
<Version>9.0</Version>
</HostApplication>
4. Close and open Visula studio 2008 and check the availability of "Code Inspector"
under Tools ->Addins.
5. Tick the "Code Inspector" activate the code Inspector for your Dynamics SL Codes.
The CodeInspector also needs to add a reference to Interop.SAFTypeLib.dll
Hi, I did this to add the CodeInspecto to VS 2008

Tim,
I apologize for the wrong information.
Thank you for clarifying.
That was NOT the resolution. The development machine did have a full install. It required a client uninstall and reinstall and even after that the custom controls do not show up without having to add them manually. Seems like a poor quality install. I have a workaround, but this solution you reference was not the fix.
Thanks,
Tim
Hello Tim,
In my research of this problem, it looks like one of our support members was able to help you with this issue. I'll go ahead and provide the information here anyway just in case any one else is experiencing the issue and comes across this topic.
In order for Code Inspector to work it needs a full install of Dynamics SL as well as Visual Studio installed.
If you'd like to add anything else regarding this issue please feel free to do so.
