Package Load Failure in Visual Studio

Hello,

After Installing everything that I need to develop for Silverlight 2.0, when I try to load a Silverlight project in Visual Studio, I get a package load failure.  In the past I developed for Silverlight 2.0 beta 1, and 1.1 alpha before that.  I uninstalled all of the old bits.

Currently I have installed (on Vista):

  • Visual Studio 2008 RTM 
  • Silverlight 2.0 beta 2
  • Silverlight Tools Beta 2 for Visual Studio
  • Silverlight 2 Beta 2 SDK
  • Expression Blend 2.5 (June Preview)

 Here is the error:

error

 Any Ideas?

Thanks,

Jeff

Re: Package Load Failure in Visual Studio

By any chance do you have VS08 SP1 beta installed?

It would be great if you could let me know the installed features.  In the Help/About dialog there is a "Copy Info" button that will copy all the installed features.

Thanks, Brad.

Re: Package Load Failure in Visual Studio

Thanks for your help. I don't think I have the SP1 beta installed, but the interesting thing is the "About" info shows KB949325, whereas the "View Installed Updates" does not show it.  Any idea how to uninstall it if it's not listed in the Installed Updates?

 Here's the info:

Re: Package Load Failure in Visual Studio

You might try running the script "silverlight_tools_fixup.vbs" which I've posted here:

http://weblogs.asp.net/bradleyb/archive/2008/06/18/fixing-setup-errors-installing-silverlight-tools-beta-2.aspx

It attempts to detect and uninstall KB949325.

As an aside, I also noticed that you have KB944899.  This KB does not directly interfer with Silverlight Tools but it does cause problem with VS SP1 Beta.  If you plan to install SP1 I'd recommend uninstalling it.

Hope this helps,
Brad

Re: Package Load Failure in Visual Studio

The strange thing is I'm seeing both KB949325 and KB950630 instaled.  if you run the script above please send me the log file silverlight_tools_fixup_*.txt.

Thanks, Brad

Re: Package Load Failure in Visual Studio

Interesting that's the version from KB949325.    I'd recommend doing a repair of VS at this point.  You can do this by going to Add and Remove Programs and selecting "Change".    This will launch the Visual Studio Setup Wizard in Maintenance Mode.  As you step through the Wizard select the option to Repair/Reinstall.

Please let me know the version of Microsoft.VisualStudio.Web.Application.dll after doing this.

Thanks,
Brad.
