Problem Installing Beta 2

Was using Web Developer Express Beta 1 successfully on Window 2003 Server.
I uninstall all of beta 1 as according to install instructions and installed Beta 2.

When I run Beta 2 I get the following error message...

"Package 'Visual Studio Common IDE Package' has failed to load properly (GUID={6E87CFAD-6C05-4ADF-9CD7-387943875B7C)}. Please contact package vendor for assistance.  Aplication restart is recommened, due to possible environment corruption.  Would you like to disable loading this package in the future   You may use VWDExpress / resetskippkgs' to re-enable package loading.

YES or NO.

If I say yes the following message displays on all forms.  The IDE does not work correctly.

Warning 1 Could not load type 'Microsoft.VisualStudio.Shell.Interop.SVsSmartOpenScope' from assembly 'Microsoft.VisualStudio.Shell.Interop.8.0, Version=8.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b03f5f7f11d50a3a'.  0 0 


If I run "VWDExpress" /resetskippkgs
Problem continues.  I've uninstalled/reinstalled 3 times with no success.  I reinstall beta 1 which works fine.  Uninstalled beta 1 tried again with beta 2...same problem.

Any ideas how to get beta 2 up and running on Windows 2003 server

    Big SmileThanks this worked!

  • waiwaipang

    Thanks Dacoty.

    That resolved my issue also.

    Microsoft should be more mindful next time.

  • nadertawil

    Bret...YOU SOLVED my problem. Thank you!...I owe you a lunch.

    Two files...

    Microsoft.VisualStudio.Shell.Interop.8 (version 8.0.40607.16)
    and
    Microsoft.VisualStudio.Shell.Interop.8 (version 8.0.50215.44)

    were installed.

    Uninstalled
    Microsoft.VisualStudio.Shell.Interop.8 (version 8.0.40607.16)

    Everything now works.

    Can you check the version number of Microsoft.VisualStudio.Shell.Interop in %windir%\assembly

    I am thinking that perhaps there is an old file on your machine.  Also, did you have any SQL 2005 / Yukon / SSE builds installed

    Thanks!
    I got the same problem.Now vs works!

  • sarel206

    Many thanks - This got me going too.

    But there seem to be a lot of duplicate 8.* entries and some items which look left over from previous version 7.0 and 7.1.

    Is it wise to uninstall all the Visual studio entries and then do a re-install

    I'd had to hit problems later when using some other feature.

    And why doesn't the uninstall do this

    These files can be found in

    [windir]/assembly

    Go to Microsoft.VisualStudio.Shell.Interop.8.0. If you find 2 files, uninstall the oldest. Restart VisStud and your problem is solved.

    Use this instruction at your own risk. This worked for me.


  • b_shpungin

    It is the same for Visual C# Express.
    Not only for WebDeveloper.

  • Anthony Borton

    Thanks Bret!  I also agree with Paul.  Except I didn't need to leave Visual Studio open.  It gave me the "..required by other programs..." prompt when trying to delete the "good" files even without VS open.  So I just highlighted all the VisualStudio files and chose to uninstall.  Took care of all the unneeded files in one shot. (15 files in my case).

  • prashantm

    yeah, you can go to start-run and type %windir%. then navigate to the assembly directory and uninstall the oldest shell.interlop 8.0 file. if they both are the same version(as with me) then try to uninstall the first one you come to(leave VS open) it will complain about it needed in an application, so delete the other one and restart VWD.

    This would not be a problem if microsoft just made updates to VWD and push them out instead of having to uninstall everything and reinstall every time there's a new beta.

  • Chris_tr

    Can you tell me where to find those files

    Thanks.
