Re: Windows XP Styles

I think that that add-in was created with VS.NET 2002, which uses "7.0" in
the registry and not VS.NET 2003, which uses "7.1". So, look at the setup
files and change references like this

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\VisualStudio\7.0\AddIns\<your add in
name>

to

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\VisualStudio\7.1\AddIns\<your add in
name>
