Have you gotten the rest of your 3rd party components installed, and is everything co-existing properly?

I did get installed. I had to uninstall VS2005 and then reinstall, not a fun day considering the uninstall procedure for VS2005.

Still not sure what happened, I assume something just got corrupted during the install. All is good now thanks for the help.

Robert,

I see that you got StrataFrame activated. Is everything working for you in the Visual Studio IDE?

Does this match your scenario at all?

It is the same error but I am not doing any network sync.

Hey Robert,

The install is designed to load on top of existing databases, so not to worry there. In fact, it is recommended to always update the databases during at least one install on new updates. This ensures that the database structures are up to date.

Robert L.,

Just read your other post, and then, yes, through deductive reasoning it would appear that we have a conflict with one of your installed 3rd party components. As you uninstall them, I would GREATLY appreciate :) it if you would let me know if you are able to isolate which one caused the problem so we can figure out what happened.

Robert H.,

As to installing the database over an existing database, no problem, the install is meant to "upgrade" an existing database, so the structure won't have changed. (I think Trent's posting an in-depth explaination.)

Just for fun, I went ahead and ran the install. I figured...what's the worst thing that can happen? No work for me?:hehe:

I tried to do the install with my local database. But, I kept getting a SQL connection error. So, I went ahead and used the Datbase the Robert Lathrop had already set up. Unfortunately(?), I had already told the setup engine to create the databases. Oh well. Just meant a longer install. But, short story long....I started up VS2005 with no issues. Although, I do not have as many new tools loaded as Robert does.

Running devenv.exe /setup did not help. Also there is no option for doing a repair 2005 is forcing an unistall and reinstall of the application.

I'm going to start by removing 3rd party components first and if need be do a full reinstall.

Robert Harvey was able to install and run fine, the only difference in our installs is that he does not have all the 3rd party components I use.

RE: Unable to launch Visual Studio after install

Ben Chase — Mon, 21 Nov 2005 09:13:32 GMT

From the command prompt, navigate to the Visual Studio directory (default C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\Common7\IDE\) and type devenv.exe /setup. Then try to re-launch Visual Studio and let me know what happens.

Since we don't use a VsPackage and all of our VsCommands are removed by the uninstall, it's quite troublesome that it still fails even after the uninstall. We don't use a VsPackage, just a few VsCommands to launch our addins, so I'm not entirely sure how the installed VsPackages could have been disrupted.

I'm currently searching for some more info on the result returned by the ExecutionEngineException to see if I can determine what happened.

If the devenv.exe /setup doesn't restore Visual Studio, then you should probably run a "repair install" of Visual Studio from the Add & Remove Programs in the Control Panel; at least then you won't be dead in the water all day.

No problem here. But, I am waiting to install. ;)

RE: Unable to launch Visual Studio after install

Robert Lathrop — Mon, 21 Nov 2005 08:55:13 GMT

I stoped Robert from installing untill I talked with you.

RE: Unable to launch Visual Studio after install

Robert Lathrop — Mon, 21 Nov 2005 08:54:09 GMT

It happens everytime I launch.

I uninstalled and I get the smae behavior.

I have the full Team Suite installed and run the following components:
DevExpress Refactor and Express Editors
Infragistics net advantage 2005 volume 3 clr2.0 beta
Infragistics net advantage 2005 volume 3 (clr1.1)

Oh, and are both of you (you and Robert #2) both having the same issue?

RE: Unable to launch Visual Studio after install

Ben Chase — Mon, 21 Nov 2005 08:39:17 GMT

Does this happend repeatedly, or every other time you try to open Visual Studio?

Try uninstalling StrataFrame from the control panel and see if you can re-launch Visual Studio.

Additionally, could you list for me what add on components you have installed? It is possible we have a conflict with one of those. And what version of Visual Studio Team System are you using? Suite, Developer, Architect, Tester, etc...

Unable to launch Visual Studio after install

Robert Lathrop — Mon, 21 Nov 2005 08:29:25 GMT

I installed StrataFrame trial this morning and now I am unable to launch Visual Studio. I launch VS 2005 and get the splash screen showing no installed products and then VS comes up and is immediatly closed.

I am running Visual Studio Team System and several add on components and was in VS 2005 this morning prior to the install of StrataFrame. I do get the following error in the application section of the event viewer:

.NET Runtime version 2.0.50727.42 - Fatal Execution Engine Error (7A05E2B3) (80131506)
