If I try to re-open the project, the conversion wizard is started again with the same result. The respective project is a VS 2005 Web application project. Any help is appreciated.
I now suceeded in converting my solution just fine by using a second installation on my backup dev system running XP SP2 (my main dev machine runs Vista Ultimate). BUT: Once I check out the updated solution on the first machine and try to open the solution
in VS 2008, I get the same System.Runtime.InteropServices.COMException as above. On my XP machine I can open the converted solution in VS 2008 without any problems and do everything I like with it.
Two possible explanations:
- On my main machine I had VS 2008 Beta2 installed before, but not on the other one. I completely deinstalled it before I installed RTM, but maybe there are some left-overs (especially as the deinstall crashed at some point) ?
thanks for your help ! I tried several times creating a crash dump as described in your blog and your email. However, all I am getting is a message box in the VS 2008 instance being debugged saying "System.Runtime.InteropServices.COMException". In the debugging
instance I can see an exception occurring in the output window:
First-chance exception at 0x7697b09e in devenv.exe: 0xE0000002: 0xe0000002.
First-chance exception at 0x7697b09e in devenv.exe: 0xE0000002: 0xe0000002.
But that's it. I don't get a chance to capture the crash dump in the second instance of VS, as everything just runs on fine (apart from the error message and my project not being opened). Am I doing something wrong ? I checked "System.Runtime.InteropServices.COMException"
"Thrown" in "Debug" "Exceptions" as you wrote above.
If you don't see the option, you either have Web development profile set in the UI and/or no C++ installed. Try selecting General Development in Tools | Import/Export Settings.

Same problem here. The upgrade log says:
Project converted successfully
System.Runtime.InteropServices.COMException
If I try to re-open the project, the conversion wizard is started again with the same result. The respective project is a VS 2005 Web application project. Any help is appreciated.

- A Vista problem.
Any ideas ?

Can you obtain minidump of the exception, zip it and e-mail it to me? Basic steps are here: http://blogs.msdn.com/mikhailarkhipov/archive/2006/07/25/678308.aspx
After step #6, go to Debug | Exceptions and check CLR Exceptions | System.Runtime.InteropServices.COMException. Then proceed with step #7.

I can confirm that the machine which now holds VS2008 for me, has at no time in the past held a prerelease copy of "anything".
I am however running Vista Ultimate 64-bit edition ( 4gigs Ram)

Erm... I cannot see an option to "Debug...Save Dump"....
Where can I go to turn such an option on?

Perhaps 'Just My Code' is set. Try unchecking 'Enable Just My Code' in Tools | Options | Debugging.
