WebGac and visual studio 2012

[rissky]

This is a genius project that seems to have sunk recently. To get it working in vs 2012 is pretty simple. Edit the .addin file (installed into program files(x86)\webgac and add nodes for vs 2012 as follows:

<HostApplication>
        <Name>Microsoft Visual Studio Macros</Name>
        <Version>11.0</Version>
    </HostApplication>
    <HostApplication>
        <Name>Microsoft Visual Studio</Name>
        <Version>11.0</Version>
    </HostApplication>

then add the following reg keys:

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\VisualStudio\11.0\PreloadAddinStateManaged]
"WebGACForVS.Connect;C:\Program Files (x86)\WebGAC\WebGACForVS.AddIn"=dword:00000002
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\VisualStudio\11.0_Config\AutomationOptions\LookInFolders]
"C:\Program Files (x86)\WebGAC"="WebGAC"
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\VisualStudio\10.0_Config\MSBuild\SafeImports]
"MSBuild"="C:\Program Files (x86)\MSBuild\WebGAC\WebGAC.targets"

open tools > add in manager and you'll see webgac. seems to work as it did in 2010.

I realise this is less an issue and more a solution - but couldn't figure out where to post it to. Sorry!
