ReSharper is not available in Visual Studio after installation
In case ReSharper did not integrate into Visual Studio properly, please follow this guide.
I. There's no 'ReSharper' item in Visual Studio main menu
Possible reason: Check if there is "ReSharper" tab in the "Tools | Options" dialog, and ReSharper is not suspended.
- If there's no such dialog or it shows an error, continue to the next Part II of this guide (below).
- If ReSharper is shown as 'Suspended' in this dialog, use the "Resume" button.
- If the page says that ReSharper is not suspended but yet not running, use "Suspend" and then "Resume" button to retry starting the product. You might see the license dialog if there's a problem with licensing, or the "This pre-release build of ReSharper has expired" message. Follow the instructions in these dialogs to resolve the issue.
- If there is "The application was requested to shut down with a ShutdownRequested call" message, please follow https://resharper-support.jetbrains.com/hc/en-us/articles/207775459.
II. There's no 'ReSharper'/'ReSharper Ultimate' tab in "Tools | Options" dialog, or it shows an error
- Check if "JetBrains ReSharper" extensions is available at the VS' Extensions | Manage Extensions | Installed but disabled. Enable it back, if so.
-
Check if ReSharper is disabled in Help | Visual Studio Performance Manager ("Manage Visual Studio Performance" in Visual Studio 2017). Please check different locations: Startup, Solution Load, etc.
- Run Visual Studio with /resetskippkgs command line key (e.g. "devenv.exe /resetskippkgs") or delete "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\VisualStudio\{VS_version}.0_Config" branch (for Visual Studio versions < 2017) in Windows registry.
- If '/resetskippkgs' run and deleting the registry branch doesn't help, check if there's folder under '%LocalAppData%\Microsoft\VisualStudio\{VS_version}.0_{InstanceID}\Extensions\JetBrains\ReSharperPlatformVs{VS_version}' and there are 'extension.vsixmanifest' and 'vspackage.pkgdef' files.
- If there are no such files, run 'Repair' on Resharper installation in 'ReSharper Ultimate' installer you used to install ReSharper.
- Repairing ReSharper installation can fix integration issues.
- If it's still not there and there are some exceptions during repairing process, check http://resharper-support.jetbrains.com/hc/en-us/articles/207243165 and https://resharper-support.jetbrains.com/hc/en-us/articles/206931919 articles about common errors
- Run Visual Studio with Local Administrator rights (e.g. 'Run as Administrator').

Nothing works. Still no resharper there, still no menu options. It's like I never existed. And I'm not going to reinstall a developer machine in 8 hours just because Resharper can't perform an install.
Can't afford to reinstall entire OS just for R#, support guys can you please support me better on case 8737?
I reinstalled everything from the OS up which was long overdue anyway, everything works as expected after this.
No, as when everything was fine. Even running as admin nothing changes.
are you running VS as Administrator?
Reinstalled from C:\ ,nothing has changed.

Copy msi to C:\ and re install ReSharper from there. Please post result here.
Desktop folder, as did with previous upgrades.
2 Johan Antila & Corrado. What is location you have .msi you installed ReSharper from?
I purchased the v8 this week. once i install this, its not available in vs2010 or vs2012. Can anyone help me ? I did all the above steps ...
Hi, I've come across this error and nothing suggested here helps. I have W7 64 with VS 2013 and R# 8.2 installed and they were working just fine until all of a sudden.. Dude.. where's resharper? From out of the blue, just gone. Gone in the menu but still present in the options page, not disabled there and disable/re-enable doesn't work, reinstall doesn't work (haven't tried reinstalling vs yet as it's a slightly more complicated procedure for me). I wanted to try the checked build but after having created an account with the support site form, I get a Unauthorized on the http://devnet.jetbrains.com/docs/DOC-280 link from above.
Ok.. so what the heck happened? I didn't install anything, there were no VS updates going on. Could it be the patches from Microsoft that came out earlier this day? What do I do now? Do I open a support ticket?
Deleting the %APPDATA%\JetBrains\ReSharper folder worked for me after installing it from "SAFE" folder instead of Downloads.
I finally managed to solve this problem on my machine; while reinstalling ReSharper and even VS didn't help, one thing did: Deleting the %APPDATA%\JetBrains\ReSharper folder. This restored ReSharper to working condition in VS2012 as well as VS2013.
I forgot to mention that I uninstalled and reinstalled R# with the installer through CLI with administrator privileges and logging enabled (msiexec /i ReSharperSetup.x.y.z.w.msi /l*v C:\resharper_install_log.txt)
I first installed R# 8.0.2 for VS2012 and later tried to add integration for VS2010 via the installer which didn't work. I tried all approches describe above bot none of those didn't work either. The solution for me was to uninstall R# completely an the reinstall it.
Complete uninstall and install fixed it for me. R# 8.0.2 menu is now available in both VS 2012 and 2013.
J, you could try running ProcMon and filtering on msiexec. If it's a permissions issue, you'll see the errors in the log.
This didn't work for me; I tried installing as admin, elevated.. nothing helps. Resharper 8 cannot be used. And the tons of exceptions I sent using the checked version were said to be 'Not Resharper exceptions." Which might very well be, but the problem remains that everything works in VS2012 and VS2013 except for Resharper 8.
