      This one specifically: https://connect.microsoft.com/VisualStudio/feedback/ViewFeedback.aspx?FeedbackID=361606[^] This bug puts any code that uses Reflection on generic types at risk! Notably most designers in VS uses this, a lot of he bugs reported are directly or indirectly related to this issue.

          Looks like the same issue! :) System.ExecutionEngineException when using Reflection on generic types, I am not saying you are using Reflection, but the framework seems to.

            Fortunately, a lot of issues are related to managed stuff and C++ devs aren't affected much (except for that manifests are generated with incorrect version information - but that's a bug that existed in the VS 2008 feature pack itself) :)

                Looking at the list, I'd guess some of these are a result of installs of the service pack on machines that were running the beta and they uninstalled the beta and applied the release. I did a complete uninstall of VS 2008, wipped out any remaing directories and reinstalled clean before applying the service pack. So far I haven't had any problems, granted I've only had it installed for 2 days. Just my 2 cents

                  You have to wait for the 3rd day, or the day after you delete you back up, which ever comes first :)

                    I am usually an early adopter but I haven't touched it yet. It is too soon for a patch, I figured it would have some bugs.

                    I didn't get any requirements for the signature

                      Ok,I don't mind a three day wait but I don't think my boss will go for it, he seems to be expecting me to do something called "work" with the service pack :)

                            Yep, and these bugs may or may not be fixed in VS 2010 after they have added 100 new features.

                                Hmmm, I think MS should have stuck to their traditional VS SP thing whereby SP was pure bug fixes, not new functionality + regressions!

                                  That's been resolved now - as reported in the MSDN VS Setup Forum. Solution is to get updated virus definitions apparently.
