vb compiler error in Visual Studio 2005

[Mattias]

Hi

I have The new Visual Studio 2005 Professional installed, I have created a
vb project as windows application and receive a perculiar error when trying
to open the Form designer. "Microsoft Visual Basic Compiler has encountered a
prblem and needs to close, No information has been lost. Check the compiler
for possible ways to avoid this error." when closing this error form...
another appears "Microsoft Visual Studio, More data is available...... ..click
the OK button.

In the same project it is possible to edit a report in design.

What can I do about this?

thank you in advance

Did you have Beta2 installed on that machine as well? If so, be sure
everything is removed related to Beta2. So, it's best (if you had beta2
on that same system) to first uninstall vs.net 2005, then read this
weblog post to get rid of beta2 completely:

Then reinstall vs.net 2005. It's key to also check the registry to see
if there are still dangling beta2 keys around. The problem is with the
beta2 uninstall code which doesnt work as expected (beta uninstall in a
beta... ;)).

If you didn't have beta2 on your system, please file a bug report at:
