I think I'm going to stay with my VS 2008 Beta  Install for now. Sorry JP , it's think kind of thing

We have same problem with visual studio 2008. The solution was that we uninstalled Visual SVN plugin. We used this plugin with Visual Studio 2005. Try to uninstall any plugins you have for VS 2005.

May this be of any help:

I installed Visual Studio 2008 Team System development edition on same mashine as you xp+sp2

vs2003,vs2005+sp1 and everything works fine.No error occured.

VisualSVN gave me the same problem. Upgraded to 1.3.1 and the problem went away.

Hey guys..

Its fine.. I installed with fresh vs2008 beta and no problem... Please check the plugins used with vs2005

Hi Guys,

I agree with the train of thought that a plugin may be causing this. I did an install over a beta install and everything is ok but I would as a matter of course reinstall all plugins as some plugin settings from vs2005 may have been moved over. R# and td.net both behave on a fresh with install but will need reinstalling to work correctly, other plugins may however be causing issues.

I had the same problem. I reinstalled and it was a no go. I then uninstalled and then Deleted the 9.0 Keys under Software/VisualStudio in the registry. They where under Current_user and Local_Machine in the Software tree if I remember.

Then I reinstalled and told it to NOT migrate settings from VS 2005 like I had originally done and it worked fine.

I didn't have the problem on my laptop though and I installed it the same way. Both were XP Pro w/ Sp2 and VS 2005 installed. I just realized that I don't have ReSharper installed on my laptop but I do on my desktop. Hmmmm.

As another note, I do have VisualSVN installed on both machines so I don't think that was the problem. I'm starting to think the settings R# provides may completely hose VS2008 when you import settings.

If so that's pretty lame that you can't even exit Visual Studio.

I noticed another issue with Visual Studio 2008. I created a C# Web site to test out the JavaScript intellisense. I had the code behind and aspx page open for the Default.aspx file created. When I tried to go back to the aspx page by either clicking it's document tab or double clicking it in the solution explorer, I would get a message saying that it was in use by another program. I would close that dialog and then it would it open the page.

Really feeling 2k8 is not ready for prime time.

On one machine I have XP Home, VS2005 Team Suite and VS2008 Team Developer - all running fine.

On anothe rmachine I have XP x64, VS2003 Ent Arch, VS2005 Team Developer, and VS2008 Team Developer. Seems to work fine also.

Of course, MS is known for stuff like this.

I ran into the same rather annoying issue. The trick for me was uninstalling VisualSVN, which was the only add-in I had running on this instance. I have not tried to reinstall it yet so I can't say if it will take.

JP,

I blogged about this last week.  I wish you saw it so I could have saved you the trouble.  Here is where I discussed this issue:
