""Object reference not set to an instance of an object" when creating new project with VS

[jeff6]

Hello, I get this error when I try to create a new project wi h Visual Studio 2010 (XP), Win32, MFC or Forms (only VB works) "Object reference not set to an instance of an object" I found nothing with Google for this case (just creating a new project) and tried to uninstall/install, repair, n times, impossible to fix :-( Thanks in advance for any idea, I'm desperate, unable to create even an empty Win32 project !

Looks like a Visual Studio problem, but impossible to guess what.

But it appeared just recently, it had worked for years before

I can only assume that something has been corrupted somewhere. But as I said before, it's impossible to guess what. Your only chance is to collect all the information that you can, and report it to Microsoft.
