    NullReferenceException when creating new project

    I just installed VS.Net 2003 Ent. Arch. on a machine with Windows XP Pro.
    The installation went without any errors.

    When I attempt to create a new project (either VB or C#), a messagebox pops
    up saying that there was a NullReferenceEx ception and the form designer has
    a big red cross (red X) through it. This also happens if I just add a
    Windows form to the project.

    If I click the run button, the app runs without error and the form is
    displayed (with nothing on it since I can't design the form).

    Has anyone else experienced this?

    Any clues to solve this problem are most appreciated.

    Chris

      I am not sure, but I think I run a similar issue with VS.Net 2002 long time
      ago. A repair fixed the problem.

          Thanks for the reply. I tried a repair and it didn't seem to work. I
          guess I'll have to try to uninstall and then reinstall.
