Any idea how to fix this error in Visual Studio? This error occurs when trying to create a new C# Console Application. I can create and build a C# Website, but Intellisense does not work. VB Applications work correctly. I tried upgrading to SP1 but that did not help. I would hate to reinstall Visual Studio and have the error crop up again.
"Microsoft visual C# 2008 compiler could not be created. Please re-install Visual Studio."
Did you try reinstalling Visual Studio like you were told to do?
In the command prompt, I ran C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 9\Common7\IDE\devenv.exe /resetsettings. Everything works fine now! This saved me a reinstall.
Hi,
I tried to restart and reset but that did not work.
However this link solved my problem
I tried "resetsettings" and repairing the installation form add/remove programs, both didn't work.
Solved the issue by deleting the following registry key.
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\VisualStudio
Visual studio will ask you to select the language preference when you open it again. (Make sure that you delete the key from HKCU and not from HKLM)
I was not able to vote, but restart and resetting the settings did not work for me. But deleting HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\VisualStudio\8.0 did work for me. Thank you NimsDotNet, sadly I could not vote for that answer for some reason.
I use deven.exe /ResetSkipPkgs and Solve the problem I guess it's like delete the keys like it sais at http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/Vsexpressinstall/thread/04be49aa-de6b-4f45-9a27-86e3f214a0fe
