BIDS Helper 1.6 - not working in VS 2010 Shell

  • (not sure if this is the appropriate forum...)

    I've been using BIDS Helper (BH) in VS 2008, but I can't seem to get the latest (v1.6.0.0) to work with the VS 2010 Shell (aka SSDT). The BH installation completes successfully but BH does not appear in either the Help|About window, nor the Tools| Add -In Manager... list.

    From the Help|About window:

    I've installed/uninstalled and closed/opened VS multiple times without success.

    Anyone else run into this?

    TIA

  • I have BIDSHelper 1.6.5.0 installed in VS 2010. Same version of VS as you have. Wish I could tell you more.

  • Do you remember what steps you took after installation?

    Do you remember what steps you took after installation?

    There are no steps to take after installation. It just works (well, normally it does).

    I would de-install, download the latest version and try again.
