On csproj file open: Microsoft Visual C# 2008 Compiler could not be created. QueryService for '{7D960B16-7AF8-11D0-8E5E-00A0C911005A} failed.
On csproj file open: Microsoft Visual C# 2008 Compiler could not be created. QueryService for '{7D960B16-7AF8-11D0-8E5E-00A0C911005A} failed.
- I wasn't sure if I should post this under the VS Install Group but after some investigation this seems to be a debugger problem.
I am running on a Windows XP SP2 box. I had Visual Studio 2005 installed.
I recently installed Visual Studio 2008, along with the Microsoft Windows SDK for Windows Server 2008 (6001.18000.367).
I also have Microsoft Visual C++ Compilers 2008 Standard Edition - enu - x86 (and x64)
My command line build works properly using MSBuild v3.5.
But, when I go to open up any .csproj file (which has been converted to vsstudio 2008 proj file) in visual studio 2008 I get the error:
Project 'x' could not be opened because the Microsoft Visual C# 2008 Compiler could not be created. QueryService for '{7D960B16-7AF8-11D0-8E5E-00A0C911005A}' failed
It looks as though this regkey is pointing to the Visual Studio Debugger.
Should it be pointing to a specific location? Does visual studio 2008 have a specific location? I believe it is pointing to an inccorect file.
When I open a vbproj I file in Visual Studio 2008 I get:
The Visual Studio Debugger ({C9DD4A57-47FB-11D2-83E7-00C04F9902C1}) did not load because of previous errors. For assistance, contact the package vendor. To attempt to load this package again, type 'devenv /resetskippkgs' at the command prompt.
Answers
- I ended up reinstalling
VS Studio 2005
VS Studio 2008
I also reinstalled the Windows SDK 2008 6.1.
Then I ran
devenv /ResetSkipPkgs
I was able to open up csproj and vbproj files.
To repair my command line I changed my vsvars32.bat file as described here:

- I got the same error after installing Visual Studio 2008 SP1. I have a 64-bits machine with Windows Server 2008. I reinstalled Visual Studio 2008 and Team System explorer and ran devenv /ResetSkipPkgs. It might solve the problem just to run devenv /ResetSkipPkgs.
- In short run the following in command Prompt:
C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0\Common7\IDE>devenv /ResetSkipPkgs
Should sort this issue. Happy coding- Proposed As Answer byIndika Rangajith Thursday, May 28, 2009 5:10 PM
