After installing the Simple DB management tools, if I try to add a connection in Visual Studio, before selecting a provider an error window appears with the following message:
"An unexpected error occurred in the Mindscape Provider for Amazon SimpleDB. Please contact the provider vendor to resolve this problem." After clicking OK, the Mindscape Simple DB provider is not listed in the Change Data Source window. Is a log file generated somewhere that might explain the error in more detail? Attached is a screenshot. Thanks. |

From what you are saying this is happening *before* it displays the "choose a provider" dialog, is that correct? If so it sounds like there is some sort of installation or registry error. Could you let us know which version and SP of Visual Studio you are running, which language if not English, and your OS and processor configuration (e.g. Windows 7, x64)? Also,could you run devenv /log and post the log file found at %APPDATA%\Microsoft\VisualStudio\9.0\ActivityLog.xml? Thanks! |

Yes, the error message appears before the "Add Connection" dialogue box opens. Information you requested:
Visual Studio 2008 Professional SP1 (9.0.30729.1) Language: English Windows 7 x64 Activity log attached. I have also tried uninstalling and reinstalling the app the without success. Thanks. |

It looks like VS may have marked the package as "skip loading" possibly due to an earlier error. Could you do an uninstall, then run devenv /resetskippkgs, then reinstall and see if that helps? |

That fixed the problem. Thanks you! |
