As of this morning, Visual Studio 2008 is taking a long time (order of minutes) to startup on my machine. I ran it with logging enabled (devenv.exe /log "C:\log.txt"
) and found that it is pausing at/after the following log entry:
<entry> <record>9</record> <time>2010/07/19 10:12:35.101</time> <type>Information</type> <source>Microsoft Visual Studio</source> <description>Loading UI library</description> <guid>{DA9FB551-C724-11D0-AE1F-00A0C90FFFC3}</guid> <path>C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0\Common7\IDE\*\msenvui.dll</path> </entry>
I also have ReSharper 5 and AnkhSVN 2.1 installed.
I'm running Windows XP SP3.
