Visual Studio 2005 doesn't want to run!

I downloaded uninstall tool to kill previously installed Beta2.

Than I ran Visual Studio 2005 Final Release setup.

All went well, setup completed successfully.

But... I launched Studio IDE, it showed Studio Logo and than disappeared. It didn't run.


Oh, Lord, give me strength... :)

    Looks like the main VS executable is corrupt.
    Can you try repairing your installation (go to add/remove programs)

  • Wytze B.

    Was there anything else that had to be removed, I am having the same problem with devenv.exe. It seems to Dr watson everytime I run the installation

    Do you suggest removing all of the components like .Net 2.0 etc

    To fix my machine, I only had to uninstall the VS 2005 Extensions for Windows Workflow Foundation. Thanks for the tip!

    Hi,

    I am having the same issue with the same errors in the app event log. I also used the uninstall tool and removed all of the VS beta components and all of the SQL 2005 beta components prior to installation.
    If anyone can provide enlightenment I would be very grateful

    I have solved my current problem. The crux of the problem is that the uninstall instructions and the automated uninstall tools do not detect windows workflow beta 1 components. Once this was manually removed and the repair tool run everything worked as it should

    hi

    thanks,
    i reinstalled the windows workflow extensions (WinWF_3.0_x86.msi) and now visual studio works again.

  • Ninerh

    Is there anything showing up in your application event logs

  • shohaib

    Also there is another error:

    Faulting application devenv.exe, version 8.0.50727.42, stamp 4333e699, faulting module kernel32.dll, version 5.1.2600.2180, stamp 411096b4, debug 0, fault address 0x0001eb33.

  • david2112

    There is following information in application event log:

    .NET Runtime version 2.0.50727.42 - Fatal Execution Engine Error (7C81EB33) (800703e9)

  • webservicesforum

    Where can I find application events log

  • Suresh Bansal

    Vince,

    Do by chance have a list of steps to manually remove the Workflow beta components

    Cheers
