There are 3 others (Overload, Equal Oportunist and Magic Numbers) that say they've been unlocked each time I compile for the first time in a Visual Studio session.  These don't show on the website or the Achievements window either.

I'm using Visual Studio 2010 on 64 bit Windows 7.

On a completely separate note, the achievements that count things seem to be ignoring the thing they are supposed to count (most of the time).  For example, the organize usings achivement has not counted any of the times I've used it, the F10 achivement has counted a few times out of the probably 20 times I've used it, and the Achievements window and the website aren't even in sync on the count for that one.

I see the "Achievement Unlocked" notification, but that's all I get. The achievements are not reflected on the website or in the Achivements list inside VS.

Even though Visual Studio uses default proxy settings to make connections, it seems extensions don't by default.

I don't think this is difficult to add in a config file. See for example

http://stackoverflow.com/a/2131963/817630

But I don't know of a way I can enable it. Could you update the extension to use the system default proxy settings? Or recommend changes to allow this?

Theres no telling what the token value represents froma hash to checksum or some generated ID.  What I need is for the install to work & it not be stupid,  oh & for people to be captain obvious.  I did get a laugh off of your comment & so for that I thank you Mattus.   Thanks, but no cigar.

The registry keys were always created correctly, and I have no special characters in my user id. When I get to: "4. Go to Tools --> Options --> VS Achievements and click the Change User button" The first time this worked, although I was not prompted to log in, just to authorize the extension again. If I click "Sign Out" to try and sign in again, nothing happens and the Authorize screen just gets refreshed. The second time, I tried this and all subsequent times, VS crashes completely, and restarts. On restart I am prompted with the Authorize screen again. No combination, of uninstalling the extension, click authorize/ no way, uninstall/ reinstall etc get the extension working. When I build my solutions the same prompts saying an Achievement(s) have been unlocked, but they don't actually get unlocked.

Looking at my Live profile, the add on did not show in my authorized apps for some reason. What eventually fixed it, was doing a clean install of VS2010 on a new install of windows, then adding the plugin, signing in and authorizing the add on. Now it works on all of the PC's.
