Microsoft XSS Detect Code Analysis - Missing License or Expired

Why would you get to see this error when you install Microsoft XSS Detect Code Analysis on top of Visual Studio 2008 in Windows Vista Service Pack 1 environment?

In order to solve this problem ... easy

Run Visual Studio 2008 Service Pack 1 as Administrator, then it works :) That's simple.

I believe XSS Detect requires certain authoritative rights before able to run it properly. Remember to build the whole project first before analyzing it.

One more thing to raise here ... in order to install this software in Windows Vista Service Pack 1 properly ... make sure you download both files and execute the exe file. I tried the msi file and it wouldn't install. Good luck.

Update: After reboot, the control is disappeared even it is under Tools menu. Wonder why?
