Hi, it's me again :-)

Downloaded and installed RC1. Here're some problems:

- I didn't follow the instructions (didn't notice them the first time) to remove the previous version. Instead i simply proceeded to install RC1 over whatever the previous beta i had. I did not have VS open when i installed.

Still, this totally hosed CIO. The only item available in the COI menu was "Introduce Constant". I closed VS and went into Add/Remove programs to remove CIO (both new and older version showed up and i removed both).

Then i proceeded to reinstall RC1. This didn't help. Even though all the menues showed up correctly - when i clicked on any one of them i was prompted with "This plugin cannot be instantiated. Would you like to remove the menu. If you press Yes you will need to reinstall this plugin". The message is not verbatim, just to the best of my recollection.

To make the problem go away - i had to actually click on each alavilable menu (so that they all were removed by VS). Then i proceeded to reinstall RC1 - and it's been working well since.

Don't know if it's anything you can do something about, just a heads up.

Thanks, Vlad.

We had to do some modifications in preparation to the release - GUIDs and minor architectural changes. That's why it is required to uninstall the earlier Beta first.

The workaround (other that the one you found) would be to install the earlier Beta again, uninstall it and only then go with the RC1 build.

This is not going to be a problem for the future builds.
