Hi,

I'm running visual studio 2003, and am now receiving the error "The
Operation Could Not Be Completed" when attempting to add a form / control or
component class to a project. I can add any other type of item without a
problem.
This is the second time this has happened to my machine, last time I
reinstalled VS and it fixed it.
I havent installed anything since that time, so I guess it must be some sort
of corruption in the system.
Our projects are bound to sourcesafe, but even if I create a new project (
that is not bound to source control ) I still cannot create forms etc.

Anyone have any ideas on what is causing this and any possible solution ?

Thanks

Mark

Hi Mark,

You should try to reinstall the Windows Script. Get the installation
file from the Microsoft site:
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/...43-7E4B-4622-86EB-95A22B832CAA&displaylang=en

Reinstall, restart and try to see if you can create projects now.
 
ive had similar problems.. mine was related to addin controls to a web
form.. i found it usually happened when i had too many windows (of web
pages, classes, etc) open at the same time. I just had to issue a SAVE ALL ,
close the windows that were open and add the control on the form and then it
worked. no clue really why.... memory issue? well as long as it keeps
working..
