Resharper does not detect visual studio 2015 is installed

I have Visual Studio 2015 community edition, it works just fine.

I now try to install the newest version of resharper, but it says I don't have VS2015.

I tried to repair visual studio but resharper still does not detect it.

How can I install resharper for VS2015?

BTW I'm using windows 7.

Thanks!

Solution

  • Yay, I solved it!

    The problem was that for some reason I didn't have permissions for the registry key VisualStudio.DTE.14.0. This is the key that tells resharper whether VS2015 is installed or not.

    To get my permissions back I did what this link says: I downloaded sysinternals and used psexec -i -d -s c:\windows\regedit.exe to gain full access.

    Then I added permissions to myself (right click on that registry key, then permissions and so on).

    And after that the resharper could tell I have VS2015 installed!

    Another helpful tip given by JetBrains (thanks @iamkrillin for telling me to ask them directly) is to check %localappdata%\JetBrains\Shared\v03 for the installation logs.

    I'm really glad it worked =)
