When I open the Class Designer in VS2005 professional I get this message over and over:
Method not found: 'Boolean EnvDTE80.CodeProperty2.get_IsShared()'.
The behaviour is similar to the one described in http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPost.aspx PostID=10777&SiteID=1
, but the suggested solution did not help in my case.
My EnvDTE80.dll located in C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\MSEnv\PublicAssemblies\ is version 8.0.50727.42
I used to have VS2005 Beta2 and had to run a utility to remove it and install VS 2005 Professional. Since I have the correct version of EnvDTE80.dll, perhaps the problem is another DLL left from the Beta version. I tried a VS2005 repair, but it did not help.
What other DLLs are referencing EnvDTE80.dll

You need to uninstall Beta 2 in the exact order that is specified at http://msdn.microsoft.com/vstudio/support/uninstall/default.aspx in order to fix this problem. See also this post - http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPost.aspx PostID=91302&SiteID=1.

Good to hear that your issue is resolved now. Thanks for the info about running the second tool.

The uninstall tool you suggested showed a message that the uninstall failed and I have to fix the problem manually.
I ended up using the second tool listed at the link below, to delete any trace of any version of VS2005. I then reinstalled VS2005. Everything seems to be working correctly now.

"Troubleshooting tool - this tool should be run to find and fix problems while running the final release of VS 2005 and .NET Framework 2.0 if you previously uninstalled in the incorrect order; this tool also has the automatic uninstall functionality built-in, but you should use the first tool if you only need to uninstall "
