Do anyone know a hotgfix or how to solve the Problem?

Thank you in advance

Answer 1

 

I am receiving the same exception.  This is very frustrating.  I will include my exception details that are logged in the Application Event Log when Visual Studio 2008 just goes away with no message or anything.  I can get rid of the problem, temporarily, by deleting the Solution.suo file so that re-opening the specific solution does not open any previously opened files.  However, I can cause the same exception by opening a specific .js file.  I can open .cs files, .aspx, .Master, .css, .ascx and even other .js files successfully.  There is one specific .js file that causes Visual Studio 2008 to just crash and log the following in the Application Event Log:

I can't include the source file here as it is proprietary development.  For now, I am editing the file in another editor, to get work done, and if I don't hear anything soon, I guess I'll need to open a support ticket.

Answer 2

Hi,

i also encountered this Problem.
I have written a Feedback to Microsoft, see:

https://connect.microsoft.com/VisualStudio/feedback/ViewFeedback.aspx?FeedbackID=330302

Since this Problem started to occure just 3 Days ago, i guess it could have something to do with an recently Windows Update for the .Net Framework.


Sincerly,
Dave

Answer 3

Hi,

luckily i was just able to get rid of the Problem.

I just removed the Following XML-Tags from my .csproj File:

<ManifestCertificateThumbprint>
and
<ManifestKeyFile>

No everything works again.

Hope this will help someone.

A Probable Solution might be to just create a new Porject/Solution and add all the Source Files and References and so on of the old Project ot the new one.

Sincerly,
Dave

Answer 4

Unfortunately, I do not see these tags in any of my .csproj files.  The solution, and all of the projects were upgraded from VS2005 though.  Could that be the underlying issue?  I am going to create a new project and compare the .csproj files.  Maybe there is extra and/or missing stuff from the conversion that is causing this.

Answer 5

Well, there were some differences, but no deal.  I removed extra tags that were not included in a new project with the same files copied in and there were some tags that were different, which I updated.  Before I did this, it started crashing opening up any .js file.  Guess I'm going to have to use Atana to edit my .js files and open that ticket.

Answer 6

I started to having the same error today, after installing Power Commands for Visual Studio.
My solution with about 10 projects became exiting just immediately after opening. I found that it was "JobSiteStarterKit" website as the project which used to make conflicts. Since I no longer include it in my solution, everything seems okay (at least for now)

Answer 7

This seems pretty random to me.  If I open a solution and comiple it quickly, with no files open in the editor, it will crash sometimes as well.  I can msbuild the solution at will with no problems.  Opening the solution and opening a .js file immediately is almost a guaranteed crash, but wait about 5 minutes after opening the solution and that makes the chance for a crash about 50/50.  Don't open any .js files or compile, no crashes at all.  So, for now its msbuild and Aptana.  I am dreading having to open a ticket for this because of how much of my time it will take up in troubleshooting with the techs...

Answer 8

I was having this same issue when developing Office plug-ins -- after removing PowerCommands (as Lukasz mentioned) everything works again.

Regards!

Answer 9

I do not have PowerCommands installed.  I do have ReSharper 4.0 EAP installed, but that was the first thing I removed after experiencing this issue and it did not help.

Answer 10

Have you tried starting Visual Studio with the safemode switch /safemode (you should do this via the command line)? Do you have any other plug-ins installed? Also, have you tried obtaining a crashdump from Visual Studio? See this site for more info: http://blogs.msdn.com/mikhailarkhipov/archive/2006/07/25/678308.aspx

Regards!

Answer 11

I just attached the debugger and reproduced the crash and it did not prompt me to save a crashdump.  Here is the output from the debugging instance of Visual Studio 2008:

 

'devenv.exe': Loaded 'ImageAtBase0x58070000', No symbols loaded.

'devenv.exe': Loaded 'ImageAtBase0x1dc90000', No symbols loaded.

The program '[7964] devenv.exe: Managed' has exited with code -2146233082 (0x80131506).

 

There are many more threads exiting by the elipses.  The exit codes appear to be HRESULT COR_E_EXECUTIONENGINE or an indication that an ExecutionEngineException was thrown.

 

The /safemode switch does actually appear to fix the problem, though.  In doing this, I checked out the addins and remembered that I also have Ankh installed for VS2008.  Maybe it was that plugin that was the issue.  I am going to remove it and report my findings.

 

Answer 12

Please post your findings on that -- would be interesting to know if that was the issue.

Answer 13

Removing the Ankh plugin did not fix the issue.  I am going to remove ReSharper 4.0 EAP and see if that helps.

 

Need I say, this is frustrating?

Answer 14

Did you try Tools->Add-In Manager to disable certain plugins to see which one may be causing the problem? That may be a little quicker than uninstalling.

Answer 15

It happened again to me. After removing AnkhSVN I can work with a solution I couldn't before

Answer 16

That is kind of strange -- I have not had that problem since removing PowerCommands.

Answer 17

But I did not remove them. What I did at the beginning was excluding one useless project from my solution (jobsitestarterkit). Since then (until now) everything worked ok. Now I removed AnkhSvn and still have power commands (which i find very useful) and problem seems solved.

However if I encounter this fatal error once again I will uninstal Power commands definitely.

Answer 18

 

I had the same problem after installing powercommands. A windows service installer project was causing the error when loading.

 

Hope they fix this soon as the powercommands are really useful.

 

Answer 19

I have this problem. When i remove powercommands everythink works ok. This probles was when solution have some Outlook projects.

 

Answer 20

I had the same problem that you all encountered. VS.2008 crashed whenever I opened one particular test application that has the assmebly entries places in web.config in the following order.

 

<add assembly="System.Web.Extensions, Version=3.5.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31BF3856AD364E35"/>
    <add assembly="System.Data.DataSetExtensions, Version=3.5.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=B77A5C561934E089"/>
    <add assembly="System.Xml.Linq, Version=3.5.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=B77A5C561934E089"/>
    <add assembly="System.Core, Version=3.5.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=B77A5C561934E089"/>

 

When I rearranged the order of the assemblies as shown below, the problem got resolved.

 

<add assembly="System.Core, Version=3.5.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=B77A5C561934E089" />
        <add assembly="System.Data.DataSetExtensions, Version=3.5.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=B77A5C561934E089" />
        <add assembly="System.Web.Extensions, Version=3.5.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31BF3856AD364E35" />
        <add assembly="System.Xml.Linq, Version=3.5.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=B77A5C561934E089" />

 

Just thought I would let you know, in case, if it might help resolve the issue.

 

P.S: In fact, I have installed PowerCommands too in my PC.

 

Thanks,

Chandra

 

 

 

Answer 21

Thankx a lot! the <add assembly... did solve my problem with this.

Cheers Harry

Answer 22

Thanks for your help. I was going to try your solution, so I went to the Team Explorer and checked out web.config for editing manually (without opening the actual solution as that crashes). After checking out the web.config it opens all right

Answer 23

Chandra,

This seems to have done the trick for me, too.  Yesterday, I went through and uninstalled and reinstalled all the .NETs on my system, that worked then, but today the problem returned.  This took a lot less time ;-).

Thanks,
John

Answer 24

I aws having the same problem, uninstalled Ankh and everything cleared up.

Answer 25

FYI - Microsoft has released a hotfix that fixes [at least some variations of] this problem:

Answer 26

I met same problem :  After creation of new project, Visual Studio 2008 is gone.

I  installed ASP.NET MVC1.0. And the problem disappered.

 

Answer 27

I have also been having the same problem with the following errors being logged in the Event Viewer:

    .NET Runtime version 2.0.50727.4927 - Fatal Execution Engine Error (6B88851A) (80131506)

    The remote debugger is unable to communicate with Visual Studio, and must abort the remote debugging session. Please restart debugging.

This was on a fresh install on Windows Server 2008 R2. I finally figured out that the VMWare debugger add-in was causing it for me, as once I disabled it, I could open WinForm forms in design mode without Visual Studio 2008 crashing.
