  Hello,

  What version do you have installed For the retail bits of VS.NET 2005 it should be version 8.0.50727.42. Is the version you installed bought from a store or was it handed out at a preview conference
  
  My guess is that you are simply missing files needed to render this Add Web Reference dialog box. I assume you've already tried an uninstall and reinstall. Check to make sure that the following files exist on your machine...
  
  C:\Windows\System32\MSXML3.dll
  C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\Common7\Packages\1033\compsvcspkgui.dll
  C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\Common7\Packages\1033\csspkgui.dll
  C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\Common7\Packages\1033\disco.xsl
  C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\Common7\Packages\1033\localservices.htm
  C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\Common7\Packages\1033\localservices.xsl
  C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\Common7\Packages\1033\uddi.htm
  C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\Common7\Packages\1033\uddi.xsl
  C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\Common7\Packages\1033\wsdl.xsl
  C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\Common7\Packages\1033\helpwatermark.htm
  C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\Common7\Packages\1033\solutionservices.xsl

  Hi,

  registering msxml2.dll and msxml3.dll didn't help for me. I get the same message, too.

  I found it out (using the list todd published):

  The wsdl.xsl file was missing, I don't know why...

  I had the same problem if you regsvr32 msxml3.dll , and also the msxml2.dll for .net 2003 if that is not registered as well :)

  Ok, that was my next guess
  
  Were you able to find the files mentioned in my last post Another thing you could try is to run a filemon/regmon (from www.sysinternals.com) log while reproducing the problem. Then look for Not Found or Access Denied errors when you are trying to open the Add Web Reference Dialog box.
