AnkhSVN not showing in Visual Studio 2017

Question

I cannot see AnkhSVN as an option under "Tools - Options - Source Control" in Visual Studio 2017. I have uninstalled and reinstalled AnkhSVN, but no effect.

Is there a way to fix this?

I had the same issue with VS2017 and tried the solution provided by AlanK to no avail. Here is the solution that solved the problem for me: https://developercommunity.visualstudio.com/content/problem/119486/on-fresh-installation-extensions-are-not-working.html

1. Uninstall the source control plug-in.

2. Make a backup of the following files:

   • C:\USERS\USERNAME\APPDATA\LOCAL\MICROSOFT\VISUALSTUDIO\15.0_XXXXXXXX\privateregistry.bin

   • C:\USERS\USERNAME\APPDATA\LOCAL\MICROSOFT\VISUALSTUDIO\15.0_XXXXXXXX\privateregistry.user.bin

3. Remove these files:

   • C:\USERS\USERNAME\APPDATA\LOCAL\MICROSOFT\VISUALSTUDIO\15.0_XXXXXXXX\privateregistry.bin
   • C:\USERS\USERNAME\APPDATA\LOCAL\MICROSOFT\VISUALSTUDIO\15.0_XXXXXXXX\privateregistry.user.bin

4. Start Visual Studio 2017.

5. Install the source control plug-in.
