There are numerous problems with VB in VS 2005, make sure you do a search for VB fixes on the MS KB. I believe that SP1 will be a big welcome for VB users who have performance issues.

If the GAC has had many installs/uninstalls I believe this can lead to problems also again search the MS KB for that.

I have uninstalled the components that I have mentioned and am still having this problem. I won't even get the form with all of the assemblies listed. Is there a way to remove the non default assemblies from the GAC or any obfuscated assemblies?

I have seen this happen when some control assembly is obfucated and does not allow .NET reflection. Did you try uninstalling components you have mentioned?

Hi guys,

I'm having a problem with my Visual studio 2005. I recently installed JetBrains dot Trace 2.0, Subversion and NUnit for 2.0 Framework. I was able to run Visual studio 2005 before the programs were installed without any problems but recently now I cannot add a reference, before the window opens up the IDE crashes.

I repair and it did not resolve the issue, then did a reinstall and it did not solve the issue. I then removed the 2.0 framework and then uninstalled Visual studio 2005 and the registry keys and reinstalled and it still crashes. When it crashes it sends a crash report to Microsoft that takes quite a while to transfer. I think there are a bunch of files being sent over.

I think the GAC might have some issues with NUnit since I suspect that is the problem since I was running the 1.1 framework and then installed the 2.0 Framework version of Test driven .net. I have since removed Test Driven .net and am still having issues.

Anyone else have problems like this before?
