• Change the SubSonicAddin.Addin file as follows (found in the SubSonicAddin directory):

• The changes you'll make in SubSonicAddin.Addin are:  Change version to 9.0 and change SubSonicAddin.dll to the actual path where you intend to save the dll.  I saved my dll in c:\Program Files\SubSonic\VS2008 and so I entered the following for the Assembly tag:  c:\Program Files\SubSonic\VS2008\SubSonicAddin.dll.
• Copy SubSonicAddin.Addin to the Addin directory for VS 2008, which you may have to create.  The normal location for this directory is:  ...\My Documents\Visual Studio 2008\Addins

• Open the solution in Visual Studio and change the references for the SubSonicAddin project as follows (all we did was remove the references to Microsoft Development Environment 8.0 and add the reference to Microsoft Development Environment 9.0):

• Compile the project and make sure the file SubSonicAddin.dll is saved in the location specified in the Assembly entity in the SubSonicAddin.Addin config file noted above.

In addition to following the steps outlined in the first two tabs to manually install the addin, you can also update the installer project to create a new installer that will install the addin within Visual Studio 2008.  Here are the steps you would need to follow:

• Open AddinInstaller.cs as shown below and find line 61 which should start with: string addinTargetPath.  In this line, change 2005 to 2008.
• Next, double click on the Content Files from SubSonicAddin (Active) node in the solution explorer as shown on the right.
  
  
• In the center of the screen, you will see the Addins folder as follows:
  
  
• Select the AddIns folder and hit F4 to view the properties window.  
• Change the DefaultLocation property to read: [PersonalFolder]\Visual Studio 2008\Addins.
• Rebuild the entire solution.
• You may need to also explicitly rebuild the AddinCustomAction project to make sure the dll is created
• Build the SubSonicToolsSetup project.

In addition to the changes outlined above, you may want to perform a global find (CTRL + SHIFT + F) and replace 2005 with 2008 where appropriate.  Be careful, though.  Some instances of the string 2005 are for SQL 2005.
