My support ended May 25th, and I have installed by mistake the latest version, the one from June 2nd.
So I downloaded the latest version included in my support (2098), installed it, but when starting VS 2015 community edition on Windows 10, the version from June 2nd is still there, and I was asked for a licence key.
So I completely removed VA from Visual Studio, cleared the registry key, and then reinstalled version 2098. After that, the first time I start VS, everything is OK, but the second time, the version from June is back, and I'm required again to enter a licence key.
So for now, each time I want to start VS and be able to use VA, I need to uninstall it in VS, and install version 2098.
Please help! Thanks.

It sounds like you're being bitten by VS2015 automatic update. Immediately after you install 2098, check that "Automatically update this extension" is unchecked. See the screenshot half-way thru this page: https://support.wholetomato.com/default.asp?W426
We seem to be getting more problems like this recently -- we thought we had it fixed. Do you have any other extensions installed? Any that keep your extensions up-to-date? |

You were right, I had problem with automatic VS2015 extension update. As far as I understand, there 3 options managing automatic updates:
- Inside VA options, doesn't seem to work at all
- In the extensions list view, you can untick "Automatically update this extension", but once you arrive here, VA has already been updated when VS started.
- In Options Environment/Extensions and Updates, uncheck "Automatically update extensions". I was successful with third one.
Actually, here is what I did to be able to still get updates for other extensions
- Remove VA in VS2015
- Uncheck extensions automatic update in options
- Exit VS, Install VA again, start VS => extensions aren't updated at VS startup
- Renable update in options
- Uncheck "Automatically update this extension" for VA in extension list if present.

Thanks for reporting your findings.
The setting in the VA Options dialog only controls notification of releases via the WT website -- it does not do auto-update.
It seems that VS2015 Update 2 changed how the extension update mechanism operates. We'll see if we can do anything about it -- at the least, to update the documentation page. |
