Quite frankly, Daniel, I'm not sure why those products would not show up after reinstalling them on your VM. I'm not sure how they tie in their licensing or anything, so... If you reinstall them again and they still don't show up, then I would try containg DevExpress and see what they say.You might also try running C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\Common7\IDE\devenv.exe /setup and see if something goes through this time...
