Sadly that's almost all the information I have at the moment.
The installer for Git Extensions 208 runs fine, the setup for Git Extensions validates fine, with green for all settings, Visual Git opens fine with Visual Studio 2008.
But, going into Visual Studio 2010 gives me a dialog:
The Add-in 'Visual Git' failed to load or caused an exception.
Would you like to remove this Add-in?
If you choose yes, the file it was loaded from,
'\\myFileServer\home\myUserName\Visual Studio 2010\Addins\GitPlugin.AddIn',
will be renamed.
Error Message: <Unknown Error>
Error number: 80131515
[Yes] [No]
Visual Git then fails to load.
Is the issue that the Visual Git files are being hosted from a file server? That's all I can think it might be...
Has anyone seen/solved this before?
EDIT: Before anyone asks, the title does not contain a typo of "2008". Git Extensions claims to work with VS2005/2008/2010. The fact that it's also at version 208 is a coincidence, as far as I know.
There is a known issue causing this. The work around can be found in the Git Extensions issue tracker: https://github.com/gitextensions/gitextensions/issues/80
