Mixamo plugin makes VS2010 unhappy

After installing the mixamo animation editor plugin, I was unable to click up a script and have VS2010 open up… it would always say it was trying for a moment, then drop back to the built in editor with a message about SyncVS not being available (VS2010 Ultimate)… Opening the solution from explorer also failed silently. Opening from a clean open of VS would work, but the moment that Unity updated the solution, the problems would start again.

I removed the Mixamo plugin and things immediately went back to normal.

Quick update – there are still problems – I have to open the solution seperate from Unity, and from inside a clean open of VS, and every time I make a change and unity overwrites the solution, VS forces a conversion.
