VS Crash after OK at Add Silverlight Application

06-13-2008 6:42 PM |

This is driving me crazy... I've reinstalled several times and had the same issue everytime.  At first I thought it was because I had VS SP1.  But SL2 Beta 2 is supposed to work with SP1...

I go to New Project->Pick either Project Type->Click OK->VS Quits with no error or log

The same thing happens when I add a Silverlight jsp script to my aspx project and I try to open the file (it adds it but opening causes VS to quit).

 On the flip side, the dynamic generation option seems to work. 

Any ideas?

Thank you for the advice. 

I have tried both steps as they were suggested for other ailments that users are experiencing.   I have also verified that the version of ServicesProxy.dll is correct.

Can you give a quick rundown of any patches or add-ons (e.g. Silverlight, MVC, etc...) and the order you installed them?  I'm assuming you've checked for the correct versions of Common7\Packages\mswebprj.dll and Common7\IDE\Microsoft.VisualStudio.Web.Application.dll as well, since you mentioned the various other sets of instructions.

Thanks.

Unfortunately, the devenv steps above and the tool did not work.

 Is there no place that holds a log I can parse?  I went looking around in the TEMP directory and nothing jumped out at me.  I wish it gave more information than just quitting.

Long story short.... Just uninstall and reinstall.   In the long run, it will probably save you a lot of time.

I did that today, uninstalled all VB, MSDN, and Silverlight.  Dont use the Beta,, the real thing is here.

The install process was pretty painless. Everything is working correctly.  I created a Silverlight C# program, added some code, tested.  All is well for now.
