Re-enable SSMS Addin


I'm sure this is very simple but I can't seem to find an answer to this at the moment and my googling powers have returned nothing.

I previously had an issue with an Addin and SSMS gave me the option to disable it (which I took). I have since reinstalled the plugin but it still does not appear as I previously disabled it.

Does anyone know where I can find the 'Add-In Manager' in SSMS 2008 R2 like in Visual studio?


Solution

  • For 2008 versions of SSMS you have to check this registry key: Key="HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Microsoft SQL Server\100\Tools\Shell\AddIns\" You will find there 1 entry per installed add-in. Every add-in entry has setting: "LoadBehavior". Set it to "1" to make SSMS load add-in at start-up.
