Package Load Failure with Silverlight and Visual Studio 2008

11-20-2007 10:30 PM |

Hello, I keep getting the error below when i attempted to create a new Silverlight project from the final built of Visual Studio 2008.
 

Package Load Failure

Package 'Microsoft.VisualStudio.Silverlight.SLPackage, Microsoft.VisualStudio.Silverlight, Version=9.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b03...' has failed to load properly ( GUID = {CB22EE0E ...}. Please contact package vendor for assistance. Application restart is recommended, due to possible environment corruption.

I have the following installed

Windows Vista x64
Visual Studio 2008 (final release)
Expression Blend 2 Beta
Silverlight 1.1 alpha refresh
Silverlight tools for Visual Studio 2008 Beta 2

Is anyone here able to help?

Thanks
Tim

 Thanks for the info Pete.

That was a bit disappointing as I was really eager to do some serious Silverlight programming when the final version Visual Studio 2008 was released.

I guess i have to wait for Microsoft to update the add-in
