Hi,

Sorry for such a simple question, but how do I use the Add-In Manager in VS2010?

I want to add this "SmartPaster" addin: http://inedo.com/Downloads/SmartPaster.aspx or http://www.mediafire.com/?mzyjamytnlq

What do I do with these 3 files to get them listed in the Add-In Manager dialog?

SmartPaster2010.AddIn, SmartPaster2010.dll, SmartPaster2010.xml

Edit: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/19dax6cz.aspx says:

"To install the add-in on another computer, the .addin file must be placed in a location where Visual Studio checks for add-ins. These locations are listed in the Options dialog box, in the Environment node, on the Add-in/Macros Security page."

I went to Tools > Options > Environment > Add-In/Macro Security, checked some paths put the AddIn files in a couple of these directoryies, restart VS2010 but still no luck!
