When i launch vs 2010 ultimate I get error 'cannot create window'. Any solutions?
No clue if this will solve it, but I found this link which looks maybe-plausible:
Try this:
Rename msvcm100.dll to msvcm100.dll.old in c:\windows\system32
Run Visual Studio 2010 repair and msvcm100.dll should get recreated.
I repaired visual studio but it didn't fix problem. msvcm100.dll in my windows\system32 folder didn't created
The same thing happened to me today for the first time while using VS2010 premium on Windows 7. The only thing different since the last time I used it (16hrs ago) was Windows Update which the System Restore utility says only affected an unrelated local app on my machine, Grooveshark.
Anyway, I restored to the point created immediately before the update, and VS2010 doesn't complain about not being able to "Create Window" anymore... don't think this was related to a recent Resharper 5 install.
Hope this helps!
I am getting this error after running VS 2010 Premimum edition for around a month. I DOnt have office 2010 installed, msvcm100.dll is also not present at my system. Any solutions?
It's working fine on my system. 'windowscodecs.dll' was missing on system, I restored it and now VS 2010 is running fine.
In my case, it was installing IBM Client Access v6.1 service pack SI37891. When it installed the .NET 4 data provider it broke the XML file.
The file in question can be found here: C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v4.0.30319\Config\machine.config
An additional data provider was installed and a spurious XML close tag was added incorrectly:
<DbProviderFactories>
<add name="IBM DB2 for i5/OS .NET Provider" ...... /></DbProviderFactories>
<add name="Microsoft SQL Server Compact Data Provider" ....../>
</DbProviderFactories>
