Git Extensions doesn't show up in VS 2010 after installing

I have tried installing Git Extensions numerous times and can't get it to show up in VS 2010. There is simply no tool bar menu 'Git'. Any ideas?

Set Git in: Tools -> Options -> Source Control -> Plug-in Selection

The issue appears to be that Git Extensions installs the add-in for the current user only.

If you are having this issue when running VS 2010 as Administrator, and you installed Git Extensions under a different user login, you can copy the Git Extensions add-in files - C:\Users\\Documents\Visual Studio 2010\Addins - to your C:\Users\\Documents\Visual Studio 2010 directory and Visual Studio will find it.

It turns out that since I had moved the 'My Documents' folder in Win 7 Git Extensions installed the add-in in a VS 2010 folder in the correct 'My Documents' but VS was still looking in the c:\users\'me'\my documents\VS folder.

That seems similar to bug 80, which is still opened.

Downloaded the source and built in some logging, but none of that logging was appearing at all on the non-functioning machine, worked fine on the local machine.
Which lead me to believe (correctly) that the addin was not being picked up at all.

I am logging into a domain and have 2 user folders:

C:\Users\Sebastiaan
C:\Users\Sebastiaan.CAKAD

The second folder didn't contain the Addins folder in Documents\Visual Studio 2010.
