String Resource Generator (SRG) and VS2005
I thought that VS2005 or well..
Visual Studio Express edition would have the
string resource generator (SRG) feature build in. Turns out that it only has the resources as strongtyped properties and lacks the cool parameterized methods. So I installed the string resource generator but visual studio express edition couldn't run it. Seemed that more people had problems with it when browsing the feedback. The problem is that visual studio doesn't run/use generators from previous versions (VS2002/VS2003). I added the following information to the registry to make it works again:

Sorry for the bad lay-out but the "smart" editor that we use is a bit too smart so it f**ks up my post.
