Since upgrading to SP1, my add-in no longer loads when running 'devenv
<solution> /Build <config>' in a console window or batch file. I found
another report of this on Connect
(http://connect.microsoft.com/VisualStudio/feedback/ViewFeedback.aspx?FeedbackID=
244632),
but no verification or followup. My (COM-based) add in is registered via
the registry, but using an .AddIn file makes no difference. Has anyone
found a workaround for this?

Hi Owen,

Thanks for your feedback. I just reproduced it on my side. The VS2005 SP1
does NOT load the add-in while VS2005 without SP1 will load the add-in
correctly if it's configured to load on command line build.

I've reported this issue to product team and I will let you know updated
information as soon as possible. Thank you for your patience and
understanding.

Thanks. I hope users of my add-in won't have to wait another year for a
fix! :)
