Visual Studio 2010 Beta 2 Installation Prob

I was running VS2010 Beta 1 and was wrapped up this morning to see beta 2. Problem (large) after successful installation: When opening Visual Studio, I get this message:

"The Visual Studio XML Editor Package Editor package did not load correctly."

If I continue with the project, the code windows open fine, but no XAML windows.

Of course, I uninstalled Beta 1 first, had the Ultimate issue first, then uninstalled and tried both Premium and Professional. The same problem with everyone.

Does anyone know what the problem might be and how to sort it? I'm pretty jaded having literally spent half a day trying to figure this out.

Thanks in advance for your help!

By the way, I am running Window 7 RC if it helps.

I had the same problem for WindowsXP. In my case, there were incorrect registry entries that were using the XmlEditor (they previously referenced the non-existent Beta 1 path). Try the following:



  • Launch Registry Editor
  • Finding the old path in the registry
  • For each entry that includes Microsoft.XmlEditor.dll in the CodeBase parameter, replace the old path with the correct one

While I'm not really excited, I downloaded VS2010 Ultimate Beta 2 on my laptop (also running Windows 7 RC, but no VS2010 Beta 1) and everything is fine. It looks like there is some remnant left after installing Beta 1. At least the cause appears to have been identified.

Reset your environment settings back to default (tools -> options). Some settings in text editors don't carry over well from earlier versions. Mine won't open up a C # editor which would be useless.
