Error during installation

When I did the installation, I got the following message

Package Load Failure

Package 'Visual Studio Explorers and Designers Package' has failed to load properly (GUID = {8D8529D3-625D-4496-8354-3DAD630ECC1B}).  Please contact package vendor for assistance.  Application restart is recommended, due to possible environment corruption.  Would you like to disable loading this package in the future   You may use 'vbexpress/resetskippkgs' to re-enable package loading.


When I started the application (i.e. Visual Basic Express), I get a total of 5 of these messages with a different package mentioned in each message.

So, what do I do now   Should I uninstall and re-install again

Thanks in advance.

    Hi,

    Yes, package load failure indicated something went wrong with installation. Are you installing on a clean machine or it has previous version of Visual Basic Express on it Try to uninstall following this guideline http://msdn.microsoft.com/vstudio/express/support/uninstall/ and re-install again.

    Best regards,
