Toolbox doesn't show up in VS2010

description

Hello:
 
I installed the latest version of SQL Server Compact Toolbox (3.0.0.6). I cannot get it to show up in VS2010. It shows up fine in VS2012.

If you installed from within VS 2012, it will only be available within VS 2012, install from the VS 2010 extension manager

Hi Eric:
For some weird reason, it was disabled in Extension Manager in Visual Studio 2010 (but not in Visual Studio 2012) when I installed it.

I re-enabled it.  The first time it took a long time to load VS2010 (10-15 seconds vs. 2-3 seconds).  The second time I loaded VS2010 it seems faster now.  Strange.

Eric:
FYI...I installed it from the stand-alone EXE (i.e. outside VS2010 and VS2012.

Eric:
I installed the EXE on two (2) separate machines -- one running Windows 7 Ultimate 32-bit and the other running Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit.

Both had VS2010 and VS2012 installed.  On both the machines, the SQL Server Compact Toolbox was disabled once it was installed to VS2010 but enabled on VS2012.  

I fixed this via Extension Manager.  Just thought you should know.

Thanks for the info, I will see if I can repro (it is not a .exe by the way, it is a .vsix file)
