Typemock Isolator addin breaks VS2010 tests?

I've spent 6 hours wondering why running a unit test within Visual Studio 2010 started failing. It appears to work OK when the setting host is configured to run in a 64 bit process on a 64 bit machine - but set it to force tests to run in a 32 bit process and the test fails.

The tests fail on VS2010. I have a simple unit test project with a single test that reads Assert.IsTrue(true);
I have VS2012 installed also, but not configured Typemock with it.

Visual Studio says "Test Run Error" and "Test Host Process exited unexpectedly" and "Failed to queue test run <blah>: Unable to start the agent process"

The event viewer logs:

AgentProcess cannot register with AgentService, make sure service is running.


(QTAgent32.exe, PID 5828, Thread 1) AgentProcess: could not register with agent service: System.InvalidProgramException: Common Language Runtime detected an invalid program.

I configured Agent32.exe.config to log:



<system.diagnostics>
<switches>
<!-- You must use integral values for "value".
Use 0 for off, 1 for error, 2 for warn, 3 for info, and 4 for verbose. -->
<!-- <add name="EqtTraceLevel" value="2" /> -->
<add name="EqtTraceLevel" value="4" />
</switches>
</system.diagnostics>

<appSettings>
<add key="CreateTraceListener" value="yes"/>
</appSettings>



and then VSTTAgentProcess.log reports the following:

In the end I ran devenv.exe /safemode and by a process of elimination discovered that it was the Typemock Isolator add-in! I am running Typemock Isolator 6.1.2.


Our support agreement just expired. Is that conincidence? Does this add-in require a continual license to operate?
