Hello smart people from stackoverflow
I own an copy of the JetBrain Suite including JetBrains ReSharper Ultimate. I've already installed it on my Laptop but whatever I try - it's not working on my Windows 7 PC where I do 99%+ of my programming.
I tried running as admin and in every compatibility properity windows has to offer. I right clicked on the JetBrains.ReSharperUltimate.2015.1.3.exe and confirmed the licensor. I also downloaded the SHA-256 checksum and tried to install it (which was stupid because it doesn't seem to be anything to install). I redownloaded the installer multiple times and I also did a reinstall of Visual Studio itself.
When I tried running the silence installation it just did nothing. I didn't even get an error response.
I currently have Visual Studio 2015 installed. (14.0.23107.0 D14REL)
I also contacted the JetBrains support but when I stated that I'm a student using the student discount they just silenced.
I love how ReSharper enhances Visual Studio but I somehow cannot get the installer working. Whenever I open it there's just a plain blank form. It showed its visuals without problems on my Laptop.
I suspect that the visuals are there but not visible (or completely white) because when I click at the upper right corner it closes as if the X was still there.
I do not provide an screenshot because it's just a completely white square without header and everything.
I suspect that they are using some windows resources that I don't have installed for some reason. I've double checked Windows Update - I have everything installed.
I tried everything I could think of. Maybe someone of you guys is able of helping me.
Thanks. Have a nice day
I found a solution to my problem.
The installer works fine once i removed it out of my cluttered download folder
I ran various tests and I'm pretty sure that i found the root to the problem.
The installer stops working when It's together with an .dll file called d3d9.dll. It's an .dll file that belongs to DirectX.
An exact copy of the file I have inside my download folder can be found here:
I've run enough tests to be sure that it is exactly this .dll file.
I have reported this to the JetBrains Team
