My Visual Studio 2008 crashes instantly everytime I open an  aspx file in Design View.

This issue only happens after I installed all the Silverlight toolkits/frameworks and integrate a Silverlight application into my project solution.

Can anyone help?

Hi,

I think you should reinstall your visual studio. I had the same problem afther installing silverlight toolkit and repair didn't solve this problem.

I had the same problem and fixed it on my computer.

I'm running VS 2008 in Windows Server 2008 R2, 64-bit. I tried several things, then discovered a file (Microsoft.Office.Interop.Owc11.dll) in directory:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0\Common7\IDE\PrivateAssemblies

I deleted this file, restarted Visual Studio, and can now view aspx pages in either source or design view with no problems.

I had been able to view aspx pages in source view until a few weeks ago. I had not been able to view them in design view for over a year; VS would always crash.

This file is from Microsoft Office 2003. I had Office 2003 installed then upgraded to Office 2010 a couple years ago.
Info from the file:
Timestamp (in Digital Signatures of the file properties): July 31, 2003
File version: 11.0.5530.0
Product Name: Microsoft Office 2003
