Visual Studio 2008 "Can't Create Compiler" message
-
I hope I am posting in the correct forum... I was loading a Visual 2005-era project into Visual Studio 2008 the other day, and the Visual Studio Conversion Wizard popped up the following message during the conversion process: --------------------------- Microsoft Visual Studio --------------------------- Project 'Diagrams' could not be opened because the Microsoft Visual C# 2008 compiler could not be created. QueryService for '{7D960B16-7AF8-11D0-8E5E-00A0C911005A}' failed. --------------------------- OK Cancel --------------------------- I am not completely sure why this message would appear...has anyone seen this before?
Sincerely Yours, Brian Hart

Hi Brian, no, never seen such a message. There might be a reasonable work-around: assuming your project is rather simple (say just a couple of source files, nothing fancy), then I would recommend you do not "convert" the project; just throw out the project files such as .csproj, .pdb and maybe .sln (not the source files) and recreate the project by creating a new one, then adding the source files as "existing items". :)

Thank you. I found out that I was using the Trial version of VS2008, but I had at one point the full version; once I put in the full version key to an 'upgrade' of the maintenance mode of Visual Studio Setup, everything worked fine.
