Automation object failure on Project Creation

[...---...]

Hello, When I try to create a new project w/ Visual Studio .NET 2003 I now keep getting a a Message Box that says (something like) A critical error occurred, Automation object could not be created. Does anyone know what this means? --thanks

Do you have any plugins, extensions to VS, installed now or in the past?

basically means it went to create a COM object and found it couldn't for some reason. The Dll it lives in could have been deleted or the GUID VS is using to id the object could be corrupted. You could poke arounf in the config files for VS but I'd recommend doing an uninstall/reinstall as you don't know what else might be messed up :)

Nothing is exactly what it seems but everything with seems can be unpicked.

Thanks for your help. I also have installed Visual Studio C# Express. Maybe I should uninstall the program.
