Enabling CodeWright 7.x / VS.NET 2003 synchronization

After upgrading my version of VS to VS.NET 2003 at work I was missing the Add-in required to synchronize files between VS and CodeWright. After a bit of spelunking here's what I found. The add-in menu is completely controlled by the registry.

First, register CWVS7Adin.dll as you would any COM dll.

Then, save this to a .reg file and import it.

REGEDIT4

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\VisualStudio\7.1\Addins\CWVS7Adin.Connect]
"FriendlyName"="Codewright synchronization"
"Description"="Synchronizes files between VS.NET and Codewright"
Now when you open up the Add-in manager dialog you should see it properly.

Updated: shrinking down .reg entries to fit screen
