Visual Studio 2005 Pro ... is dead today.
-
I accidentally found my Visual Studio 2005 Professional dead today. It just failed to generate new projects (MFC App, Win32 APP, ...). The error went to "
Automation server fails to load" (or similar) on the message box. So I tried to repair it with the "reinstall" option, ... in vain. Finally I decided to completely uninstall it, then reinstall again ... It resisted being unistalled. X| (Refer to this post[^]. Exactly the same, except it's 2005 this time instead of 2003.) :-> I tried to recall what I did last Friday: 1. I installed Windows 2000 DDK. 2. I installed DriverStudio 2.7, and removed it. That's all.

What do you mean sounds like? :rolleyes:
Formula 1 - Short for "F1 Racing" - named after the standard "help" key in Windows, it's a sport where participants desperately search through software help files trying to find actual documentation. It's tedious and somewhat cruel, most matches ending in a draw as no participant is able to find anything helpful. - Shog9 Ed

Probably your culprit. My wife installed Norton and got fed up with it in a few weeks time. She uninstalled it and they broke Outlook. Probably due to the mfc library being trashed.

I think the first two letters of Norton are probably the most pertinent when considering installing it on your PC.
I still remember having to write your own code in FORTRAN rather than be a cut and paste merchant being pampered by colour coded Intellisense - ahh proper programming - those were the days :)

It could be that the Windows Script host has gotten corrupted. It may be worth a try to reinstall it. http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/downloads/list/webdev.asp[^] If that doesn't work try running regmon to help narrow down what's going on.
