CodeRush/IDE Tools system requirements

May 30th, 2012 Comments off

This is another frequent question from new CodeRush users, which is not exactly specified anywhere yet because CodeRush does not really rely on hardware or software requirements – it should run OK everywhere your Visual Studio is installed.

Deploying DXCore, CodeRush or community plug-ins using a VSIX extension

October 17th, 2011 Comments off

Note, this article has been moved to the official DevExpress Support Center site. Please refer to the moved article as it might have further updates or additional comments. Thank you.

A DXCore plug-in is usually represented by a single assembly. It might also include some additional data, for example, language dictionaries for the Spell Checker CodeRush plug-in and, probably, setting files, such as shortcuts. To install the plug-in, simply copy an assembly to the Community Plug-ins folder that looks like this in most cases:

%Documents%\DevExpress\IDE Tools\Community

where %Documents% is your Windows Documents folder.

Installation – what’s with all .exe files for previous versions of IDE tools

September 13th, 2010 Comments off

You may notice that in your “Program Files\DevExpress…” folder, there’s an .exe file for each version of IDE tools you’ve installed, e.g.

IDETools-10.1.4.exe
IDETools-10.1.5.10101.exe
IDETools-10.1.5.exe
IDETools-10.1.6.exe

The following questions may raise:

  • Are all these really necessary?
  • Is there a reason that installing a new version doesn’t clear out the previous versions?
  • Can I safely remove them to clean-up my system?

How to install multiple IDE tools versions side-by-side

August 11th, 2010 Comments off

Different versions of IDE Tools can be installed together side-by-side on a single machine. Note, however, you can have only one version running at a given time.

There’s a DXCoreVersion tool which allows you to switch between installed IDE Tools versions any time. You can find the “DXCoreVersion.exe” tool in your bin folder which looks similar to this path:

“%Program Files%\DevExpress %YourVersion%\IDETools\System\DXCore\BIN”

For versions greater than v12.1, the path may look as follows:

“%Program Files%\CodeRush %YourVersion%\System\DXCore\BIN”

where %YourVersion% is a version of CodeRush (IDE Tools) you have installed.
