  We are investigating, I will reply to this thread with our findings.

  Hi Phil, yes I previously had Beta2 installed so I did wonder whether there may have been some conflict. However, the problem I'm seeing stems from the install of the Sept VS SDK. If I look for the definition of HostSpansUpdated in common\idl\singlefileeditor.idl I also see a return type of void (there are also similiar problems with IVsSmartTagData in textmgr2.idl).
  Maybe somehow I've got an older SDK (but the file structure has all changed so it's definitely recent). I've just downloaded it again from http://www.vsipdev.com/downloads/vsseptemberctpdl.aspx
  and I still see the same issue. Perhaps the version uploaded to vsipdev is the problem

  have you tried this from a clean machine without that, its very hard to determine if this is cruft from the B2 release or a problem with Sept CTP.

  Looking at the VS August CTP and latest RTM IVsContainedCode::HostSpansUpdated and one from the TM IA that we ship with < xml:namespace prefix = st1 ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:smarttags" />Sept SDK they are identical.< xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" />

  Here is the definition:

  .method public hidebysig newslot abstract virtual

          instance int32  HostSpansUpdated() runtime managed preservesig internalcall

  {

  } // end of method IVsContainedCode::HostSpansUpdated

   

  .method public hidebysig newslot abstract virtual

          instance int32  HostSpansUpdated() runtime managed preservesig internalcall

  {

  } // end of method IVsContainedCode::HostSpansUpdated

   However in Beta 2 we do see a different signature:

  .method public hidebysig newslot abstract virtual

          instance void  HostSpansUpdated() runtime managed internalcall

  {

  } // end of method IVsContainedCode::HostSpansUpdated

  So that tells us that somehow you have mixed versions of VS and SDK.
  
  Perhaps its an uninstall issue, pehaps something else.
  
  Regardless the best thing to do is go back to a clean machine and install the VS Aug CTP and the VS SDK Sept CTP again.
  
  hth.
