I have a new laptop and installed all my development tools including lightspeed (tried both 2.0 and 3.0). When I run Visual Studio (pro edition 2008 SP1) and edit a light speed model that I created on my desktop, it doesn't use the lightspeed designer, rather it opens the model as an XML file. I have tried uninstalling and re-installing a number of times with reboots in between but somehow there is no association between the lsmodel file and the designer. Is there an easy way to fix this without having to re-setup the laptop? Thanks Peter |

This can happen if an error has occurred during an earlier run of Visual Studio. In this case Visual Studio can mark the erring plug-in not to be loaded in future. Shut down Visual Studio, open a Visual Studio Command Prompt, and run the following command: devenv /resetskippkgs This resets the "skipped packages" list and should re-enable LightSpeed. Please also verify that there's only one entry in Control Panel > Add/Remove Programs for LightSpeed. (Sometimes installing 3.0 over 2.x can result in two entries and Visual Studio getting very confused. In this case uninstall *both* from Control Panel and then reinstall 3.0. But I think you've done this already.) Let us know if this still doesn't fix it. |

I did indeed have both 2.2 and 3.0 listed in Uninstall Programs. I uninstalled both, re-installed 3.0 and ran the reset skipped packages command - and hey presto, the designer works. Many thanks Peter |
