Problem

[Wojtek]

Hi,
I am (still) using VS 2005 Beta 2 8.0.50215.44.

I recently upgraded to PostgreSQLDirect .NET Data Provider version 2.20.12 (17.10.05).
After uninstalling previous version (that worked fine!) and installing 2.20.12 version VS failed to load PostgreSQLDirect add-on at startup with following error message:

"The Add-in PostgreSql Direct .NET add-in failed to load or caused an exception. Would you like to remove this Add-in ? If you choose yes , you will need to reinstall the Add -in to use it again.
Error message:
Error number:80131040"

Any idea how to fix this ?

There is new version of PostgreSQLDirect .NET 2.40 Beta available. This version works with Visual Studio 2005 release and supports PostgreSQL 8.1 server. It is recommended to use this version in your projects.
If you need version that works with VS 2005 beta2 you can use PostgreSQLDirect .NET 2.20.12. You can use this version in the following way:
1. Install PostgreSQLDirect .NET 2.20.12.
2. Create the file *.reg and fill it with the following contents:
