How to update currently expired extensions

If you’re getting a dialog like this for any of our existing extensions:

you surely noticed that the dialog just won’t go away Sad smile. This unfortunate issue is fairly easy to solve, luckily:

  1. Close all instances of VS
  2. Run: %localappdata%\Microsoft\VisualStudio\10.0\Extensions\Clarius Consulting\
  3. Just delete the folders for the nagging extensions
  4. Open VS, and get the updated bits from the Online tab by doing a search

 

We apologize for the inconvenience and appreciate your patience!

How do i download the extension again if i have already deleted it/uninstalled it from VS?

Julian Dominguez said...

Mark,
Search for it in the Extension Manager (inside the Tools menu).

It's enough just to delete the Cache folder.

Hi guys,

Sorry for the glitch. We've detected an issue on the upgrading scenario and have posted another update 0.6, can you please try this one and check if your toolbar is back?

Aaron said...

Looks good to me now! Thanks for fixing this so quickly!

I'm still seeing this after clearing the %localappdata% cache and re-downloading 'Quick Add Reference 0.4', which was published 12/29.

Ran into this issue while running 0.6. Hopefully it's been resolved in 0.9.
