I ran the devenv /resetskippkgs and it fixed the problem I was having with VS2008 (no SP1 beta) trying to open Silverlight 2 Beta 2 projects.

NOTE: I had previously tried the Silverlight_Tool_Fixup.zip vbs script located at http://weblogs.asp.net/bradleyb/archive/2008/06/18/fixing-setup-errors-installing-silverlight-tools-beta-2.aspx, and then reinstalled Silverlight 2 Beta 2. When this didn't work I read about the /resetskippkgs flag, ran it, and now I'm back in the world of Silverlight goodness.

Very happy! Thanks.

Open a command prompt and run this:

"C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0\Common7\IDE\devenv.exe" /resetskippkgs

The path could be different depending on where you installed VS.

Hope this helps,
Brad

I have came through a problem that i forget that i have install silverlight chainer and start installing it again. then during the installation i opened the control panel to check i have previously installed silverlight chainer or not, i found that it has already been installed so i canceled the progressing silverlight chainer installation. then i started visual studio 2008 and opened the current projects of silverlight and "The project type is not supprted by this installation " error message is given by visual studio. if i am creating a new silverlight application then "Object reference not set to an instance of an object" error occured. Please help me to solve this problem.
