Visual Studio 2010 runs installer when I debug

Question

Hi,

I've been using a solution since VS2010 was released. My solution has a number of projects in it. Until a couple of weeks ago, all was fine. All of a sudden, whenever I click the button to start debugging my code, the Visual Studio 2010 installer starts.

It takes around 5 minutes for it to complete and then I am able to debug as normal. If I restart the debug session then I have to wait for the installer again.

I haven't tried cancelling the installer, but I just want to stop it altogether.

Has anyone experienced a similar issue? How can I solve this? Its doing my head in!! :S

Thanks Neil

I would recommend reinstalling Visual Studio. If that doesn't help something else might be wrong with your system and you may end up to re-image it. Being able to re-image a development PC can be a life-saver at times.
