Hello. Me again. I managed to find out that I have to run VS2005 with administrator privileges for the snapin to show me the languages. Now, when I try to log in I have this:

Can anyone help me, please. Thanks in advance.

What is your Gemini version? Please send a screen shot of your Gemini web app home page to support at countersoft dot com.

Also, please make sure you have configured REST web service per the Gemini Management Guide (chapter 8).

Bikram: Thanks for taking the time for answer. My version is: Gemini 3.1.2 (Build 2257) Gemini Complimentary License registered to Ariel.

I hope this can help. Thanks. From Argentina. Ariel.

Hello Ariel.

Gemini version 3.1.2 is not compatible with VS add in version 1.5.4. You will need to upgrade your Gemini to version 3.5.3 (the version that is currently available).

Thanks, Bikram. I will try that. Another question in this regard: is it possible tu use the snap-in with a non-administrator account in Visual Studio ? I am used to not use an administrator account for everyday work (for security reasons, of course). Thanks. Ariel.

Yes, you should be able to use the VS add in with a non-administrator account.

Are you sure Administrator privileges are not needed?
I'm experiencing the same problems as abacrotto does/did. Language selector only shows 'System.Data.Datarow' and I too get nothing after pressing the login button.
When running VS2008 as Administrator (run as Administrator), the drop down does get populated.

It would be nice if the add on also worked when not local Administrator.

I'm using Vista as 'Power User' (not 'Local Administrator') and VS2008.
Although probably not related to this issue my Gemini version is 3.5.4 (build 2435).
