Broken MSDN Express integration with VB, et al

I have installed all of the express products, after removing the VS beta 2 from my computer as documented. Everything works except the integration with MSDN Express Library. In this case clicking on "Search" or "How to:" results in an error dialog saying "Package "Visual Studio Common IDE" package failed to load.

Clicking on "How Do I", "Search", or "Help Favorites" in the MSDN Express document explorer gets the same error message or another saying "The operation cannot be completed: No such interface supported".

This is very frustrating as it damages much of the usability of the documentation in context with the product.

If anyone from Microsoft sees this can you help
