Visual Studio Achievements For VS2010

2012, WIX 3.6 and 3.7, version 2.1 of this extension.

Recently Visual Studio started locking up when cleaning or building.  Determined by unloading my WIX projects that they were involved in the crashes.

The exception thrown was AccessViolationException, but the call stack didn't show any obvious culprits.

I upgraded from WIX 3.6 to 3.7, but that didn't work.  I then went through all my extensions, enabling/disabling them in turn until I found the one that, when disabled, fixed the crash.

And that extension was this one.

I suggest you guys try to repro. 

Thanks for reporting; we are investigating.

I have the same issue with Wix 3.7. VS crashes after cleaning or building. 

Guess that will teach me not to install unnecessary plugins...

Hi Everybody,

i got a following execption after installing VSAchievements extension. it seems that the extension could not connect to the user profile i think (but ton't no).

Here's the exception text:

I'm using VS Studio 2010 (German), FXCop 10 and Metrics.

Fun addon, however one thing that irks me is all the bumf I get in the output window when loading a solution. It creates an Output Pane of "VSAchievements" and spams all this:

FxCopHelper: Install FxCop Resolver
FxCopHelper: FxCop Path:c:\Program Files\Microsoft Fxcop 10.0\FxCopCmd.exe
Coding4Fun.VSAchievements.VSAchievementsPackage: Coding4Fun.VSAchievements.VSAchievementsPackageinitialize
Coding4Fun.VSAchievements.VSAchievementsPackage: Visual Studio Version: 10.0

Coding4Fun.VSAchievements.VSAchievementsPackage: Coding4Fun.VSAchievements.Core.PopupManager initialized.
Coding4Fun.VSAchievements.VSAchievementsPackage: Coding4Fun.VSAchievements.Core.VsDocumentEventsListener initialized.
Coding4Fun.VSAchievements.VSAchievementsPackage: Coding4Fun.VSAchievements.FxCopAchievements.FxCopManager initialized.

And so on...

Any way to tell it NOT to do so? I really don't need to see all that every time I open a solution etc. An option to surpress it in the Tools / Options / VS Achievements menu would be perfect.

Do you have logging turned on? You shouldn't see this by default.

Hmm not that I know of. Where do I check?  The only item in the Tools / Options window for this is "Enable FX Cop". I have the latest version from the gallery, and definitely haven't tweaked any config files or anything (if there are any).

Is it possible to download version 2.x somewhere since 3.0 crashes the first time you open it?

No, we don't have 2.0 available. What errors are you getting?

I've just upgraded to version 3.0, and I get a failed to load error. I added the /log command line switch and got the error in the ActivityLog.xml file as follows:

Description:

GUID:

Any ideas?

Thanks for reporting. We are currently investigating and will keep you posted.

What other extensions do you have installed? Thanks

I had a similiar error, but after trying to reload a couple times VS loaded okay. I also recently installed VS Powertools via nuget.

I had the same error. After installing FxCop problem disappear.

This matches my error as well, I posted above but I will post again my log:

This is totally broken for Visual Studio 2010. Does anyone have any idea what the issue is? I have already tried un-installing and re-installing FxCop with no success.

I had the same issue and it was solved after installing FX Cop 10 and Windows SDK 7.1 - get it here http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=8279

If you also have trouble installing the SDK 7.1 (as I did) get rid of the newer C++ redistributables as described here:
http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/windowssdk/thread/8f3350f9-0b47-40ae-b070-f2ccbf041875/

@Wintermute79 Confirming that this solved the problem for me, I would suggest everyone give this a try

Any idea why the Complex achievement (50+ projects in a solution) would not unlock? Project has 62 projects and it won't unlock. There is a bunch of solutions folders though, so maybe it is 50 in the root?

I have a solution with 103 projects and have Build it, Rebuilt It and Cleaned and Built it but have never gotten this Complex Achievement.

I personally have gotten this achievement as have a number of others, so it does work; you just have to figure out out how/when it is triggered...

Any update on this?

Never worked this achievement, regardless of the number of projects in the solution of more than 50. Does anyone in the know on what trigger it work?

I get the following two errors when I start Visual Studio (this is from ActivityLog.xml)

Is there a way to fix this? Let me know if you need more info

Do you plan on supporting c++ any time soon?

We support some of the Windows 8 achievements in C++ in VS2012 -- take a look! http://visualstudiogallery.msdn.microsoft.com/ed9e23e2-ff50-43e3-9aa6-c91f27bd6a6d/ 

I got the same error and do have a slightly older version of FXCop installed already.

I just downloaded and installed the latest version (first time ever installing) and when I launch Visual Studio I get "Coding4Fun.VSAchievements.Package [...] package did not load correctly. No time to provide more details at the moment but I'll uninstall the plugin and try again sometime.

Subj.

I've tried every way:
1) Colocated
2) Dedicated
3) Shared

But...

Somewhere you promise to fix it in 2.1.. But..

Help plz )) 

It is all about your config file...
