I am using Visual Studio 2005 on Windows Server 2003 (Virtual Server). All
service packs are installed. I first had this problem when trying to
distribute an application for testing so I then created a simple application
to try and narrow down the problem but to no avail...

I create a simple Windows Application (VB.NET), that has a single form with
a single button on it that, when clicked, shows a messagebox with the words
'Hello World'. It works fine on this Server (Virtual).

I compile it and run it fine but when I install it or copy it to the Host or
to another PC I get the following error on startup: CLR error: 80004005.

The PC it is compiled on is a Windows Server 2003 (running as a Virtual
Server), with all service packs installed. .NET framework versions (viewed in
the Windows\Microsoft.NET\ directories): v1.0.3705, v1.1.4322, v2.0.50727.

The PC that gives me the error is a Windows Server 2003 (this is the Host
server), with all service packs installed. .NET framework versions (viewed in
the Windows\Microsoft.NET\ directories): v1.0.3705, v1.1.4322, v2.0.50215,
v2.0.50727.

I have just re-built both the Virtual Server where Visual Studio is
installed and the Host Server that will not run the Applicaion. Both were
installed using Windows Server Standard Edition w SP1. I then used Windows
Update to install all updates (not just critical but all). On the Virtual
Server I then installed Visual Studio 2005 Professional and tried a simple
application again. It works on the Virtual Server. I copied it to the Host an
it still did not work.
 
I called support (my first time) and we found that the Host Machine had .NET
v2 Beta installed on it. They walked me through uninstalling it (uninstall
..NET 2.0 from Add/Remove Programs, Run an uninstall tool for VS 2005 Beta,
and reinstall .NET v2 release edition). It all worked without having to tear
down the machine and rebuild it.

My first time using support and had a great experience!

Hats off to: Tim Atkins and Ravi Kumar.
