Visual Studio Beta 2 Install Problem

Hello Friends,

I just attempted to install VS beta 2 and was less than successful, even though I received the success message at the end of the install. When I launched VS, the UI came up and looked fine. However, five instances of a dialog box came up that said Package 'Visual Studio Common IDE Package' has failed to load properly (GUID = {6E87CFAD-4ADF-9CD7-3B7943875B7C}). After clicking away the dialog boxes and selecting "Create Your First Application" a dialog box appeared saying "The operation could not be completed. The RPC server is unavailable."

I would appreciate any help in getting this software working.

You will probably need to uninstall Beta 2 and then run the uninstall tool listed, then re-install Beta 2.

Hi David,

I started the beta 2 install. A message told me I had some things installed that needed to be removed before beta 2 would be installed. I aborted the installation and removed the things that were listed. I used Wondows' normal uninstall tool, not any special one found at go.microsoft.com. I then attempted to reinstall VS beta 2. At that point I received the behavior noted in my previous posts.

Hello Roger,

I did have a previous version of Visual Studio 2005 installed, but uninstalled it before attempting to install Beta 2. The messages come up directly after starting VS 2005.

Hi,

Did you have installed a previous Version of Visual Studio 2005 before installing Beta 2
Did those Messages come up directly after starting VS 2005
