Hi there,
recently got an issue when loading vs 2008, it displays this... can anyone tell me how to reregister the file... or something..
I don't wish to reinstall the vs 2008 again....
The Microsoft.VisualStudio.Xaml ({E58C2A8B-BCC4-4559-AD59-D62EB6D58A22}) did not load because of previous errors. For assistance, contact the package vendor. To attempt to load this package again, type 'devenv /resetskippkgs' at the command prompt.
You can try devenv.exe /setup on a (elevated) command prompt. I don't know if it fixes your error, but it seems to fix a lot of things.
What happens if you do what the error message suggests, i.e. call devenv /resetskippkgs?
Other than that, instead of reinstalling, try the repair option of the setup, which fixes many errors.
The first step is to do exactly as the error message says. Enable the loading of skipped packages by running "devenv /resetskippkgs" from the command line. This will likely fix the problem.
If it does not, then I would repair the Visual Studio installation via Add / Remove Programs menu. This fixes most issues that cause the XAML designer to fail to load.
If you do a repair you must do the resetskippkgs above command because. There is a bug in repair such that it will not cause suppressed packages to start loading again (fixed in VS2010).
don't relly need to reset anything, if you don't have Visual Studio SP1 installed, you should install it.. that fixed the problem for me :D
