no imaging component suitable to complete this operation was found

Question

WinXP SP3

C# 2010 Express

When I try to start C# 2010 Express (VCSExpress.exe) I get the following message, "no imaging component suitable to complete this operation was found"

I've checked though the forums and I've found examples of this error when people are running code, but not when trying to start VCS. I'm assuming the problem lies in something the IDE can't find, but I have no idea what it's talking about. The term "imaging  component" is new to me, and is pretty vague.

I have downloaded and used VB Express without such a problem.

Any suggestions?

Try to do a repair/re-install and see if that clears it up.

Be sure to state what OS you are using.  Also, confirm that your hardware meets the requirements.
