| Updated to XP-service pack 3 and when I try to open Visual Studio I get Em: Deserialization failed: Could not load type 'Microsoft.VisualStudio.Shell.IOleMenuCommand' from assembly 'Microsoft.VisualStudio.Shell.Interop.8.0, Version=8.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b03f5f7f11d50a3a'. Line 2, position 2.Anyone know what this means or how to go about fixing? Saw some other posts that uninstalling Visual Studio didn't help and can't uninstall SP3. Thanks. |

| Did you try to repair the Visual Studio install? If that doesn't work, Google for "manually uninstall Visual Studio" and follow the directions. Also look for the .Net Framework uninstaller/cleanup tool. You may need to uninstall .Net Framework 3.0 and higher. Don't uninstall the lower versions of .Net. Once that's done do a fresh install of VS and you should be good to go.I had this happen with VS 2008 and it got hung on on some reg keys and .Net components that wouldn't uninstall normally. The manual uninstall and reinstall fixed it (mostly, I had other component problems) to the point where I could use VS. |
