If you suck at writing Visual Studio plugins...

...Please stop. Now. I'm really tired of dealing with

when I uninstall your crappy add-in.

Thanks.

I have lost count of how many people I've helped fix this issue. It breaks the 'Test With... Debugger' functionality of TestDriven.NET. I have found the prime culprit to be csUnit. I've begged them to take down the buggy installer. In the end I've just stopped linking to csUnit. =o(

To be fair it's really an issue with Visual Studio setup projects. Unless you know about and are watching for this problem you are likely to be stung. Even if you know about it, it is all to easy for it to slip through. This is one of the reasons I moved to using the WiX installer toolkit. Visual Studio setup projects just aren't worth the risk!

Happy New Year!
