Hi!
I got following exception twice in last 30 days.
"The components required to enumerate web references are not installed on this computer. Please re-install Visual studio"
This exception occurs when I change existing web reference Url and point to a new asmx. Why is it asking to re-install visual studio? I would like to avoid re-installing vs 2005 if possible.
Thanks
Prashant

Hi
did anyone get anywhere with this error ?
All was well with my VS2005 until I published a web site - since then I can't add or update any web references without seeing this error !
---stop press ---
solution in post PostID=107222 worked like a charm !
close VS2005, start | run
devenv /resetskippkgs
No more web refrerence errors after this point.
Thanks,

Same thing:
devenv /resetskippkgs
Works for VS2008.

Helped me too.
While working on different projects I had installed VS2008 first, then at a later time installed VS2005 and, finally, on top of all that I had to install VS2003.NET. :(
These regressive installs must have screwed up the original VS2008 associations and caused this error.
Thanks for the tip.
