I have worked in VB6 for a few years; taking the plunge now into VB.NET.
I just installed Visual Studio 2008; it installed with no errors. I
launch it and receive the following error message:

Package 'Microsoft.VisualStudio.Xaml' has failed to load properly ( GUID
= {E58C2A8B-etc., etc., etc.} ). Please contact package vendor for
assistance. Application restart is recommended, due to possible
environment corruption. Would you like to disable loading this package
in the future? You may use 'devenv /resetskippkgs' to re-enable package
loading.

Has anyone else encountered this, and if so what did you do to resolve it?

Thanks in advance,

Carl

Thanks for both of your responses - I should have gone onto the
internets and checked the Google first :-)
Although I did not install any pre-release software, I still was
encountering this issue. Long story short - complete uninstall
(including the two Express version installs that I had done) then a
complete install then SP1 and it seems to have taken care of the issue.
Thanks to both of you for your time.
