Hello,

I'm a complete beginner about VS add-ins.
Today I tried to compile and run basic add-in code fresh off the
wizard but the devenv.exe  launched at debug time crashes right after
the splash screen.
This however only happens with a C++ project (either ATL or CLR). The
C# plumbing code runs fine, but my target is C++..

I noticed an odd thing in the Output window. One line is filled with
%s ..perhaps indicative of some sort of buffer overflow due to some
sprintf() kind of function ?

Here is a snippet:
--------------------

--------------------

I'm using Visual Studio 2005 Version 8.0.50727.762  (SP.050727-7600)
and .NET Framework Version 2.0.50727. The only additional extension I
have running is Visual Assist X.

My VS is in English but my XP (SP2) is in Japanese. I don't know if
this can be a problem..

Thank you,
Davide
