[Visual Studio 2008 corrupted by 3.54 install]

One more thing. Still has a problem on a machine where VS2008 is installed on a drive other than C:.

[Visual Studio 2008 corrupted by 3.54 install]

OK. Got the problem.

Visual Studio was running at patch time.

You should enforce shutting it down if possible.

Thank!

Rick,

I am very definitely fully patched.

I just repeated the test with another machine. Same problem.

Possibly the only thing special about my installation is that I have the F# package installed.

[Visual Studio 2008 corrupted by 3.54 install]

After running Paint.NET last night, it prompted it me to update to the latest version - which I did.

Afterwards, however, if I tried to run Visual Studio 2008, I received the message:

Cannot find one or more components. Please reinstall.

Trying to repair 2008 with the install discs yielded this:

A problem has been encountered while loading the setup components. Cancelling setup.

The only thing I could do was to roll back the system to before Paint.NET update. I strongly suggest that you pull the update until this is resolved.

XP Professional. Fully patched. Latest .net assemblies.
