Add-in ‘Tabs Studio’ failed to load or caused an exception

Hello there Robert L Mathis,

 

The error is saying there is a problem with accessing the file on the network.

 

The first thing you should do is to manually check if the file egzist on the path mentioned in the error. To do that copy and paste the path into your explorer and press enter. If the file is there and not corrupted, there are few things you can try.

 

First is to copy the Add-in to your local computer (into the Visual Studio AddIn folder) so you don't have to access it via network.

 

Another is to change a piece of code to tell the software it's ok to load add-ins from the remote sources. To do that locate the file names devenv.exe.config. By default it should be placed in C:Program FilesMicrosoft Visual StudioCommon7IDE , Open it and add this line in the runtime section: 

 

<loadFromRemoteSources enabled="true"/>

 

Hope this helped,

Drake Vivian
