<p>Ok, so I demo'd Refactor Pro and Resharper, I'm more comfortable with Resharper so that's what I bought. When I uninstalled Refactor Pro I thought everything was breezy. However, now when I open Visual Studio I get </p>

<p>The Add-in 'DevExpress Tools' failed to load or caused and exception, woudl you like to remove this Add in? </p>

<p>If you choose yes, the file it was loaded from, </p>

<blockquote>
  <p>'C:\ProgramData\Application Data\Microsoft\MSEnvShared\Addins\DevExpressToolsOrcas.Addin' will be renamed. </p>
</blockquote>

<p>I hit yes, then get:</p>

<blockquote>
  <p>"Could Not rename Add-in file "C:\ProgramData\Application Data\Microsoft\MSEnvShared\Addins\DevExpressToolsOrcas.Addin"</p>
</blockquote>

<p>This happens every time, I went to that location and there is not folder by that name. I searched for that file and nothing. </p>

<p>Anyone experience a clingy add-in?</p>
