Not yet I'll finish tomorrow.

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?

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?

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.

Robert,



Does this match your scenario at all?

That person seems to have received the same error you received, but received it during a network synchronization.

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.
