We are working with Frans offline to solve this problem, and a Knowledge Base article is in the works with all the details.

In my post above, I mentioned our current thinking on the timeline for Visual Studio 2005 servicing releases in my last comments. Soma, head of Developer Division, has posted more information about our next steps: http://blogs.msdn.com/somasegar/archive/2005/11/08/490694.aspx

Visual Studio's support page (http://msdn.microsoft.com/vstudio/support) offers support-related information, including links to the MSDN Product Feedback Center, the MSDN Forums, and the Visual Studio Solution Center, where you can find the latest KB articles. For KB's, there are per-product RSS feeds.

We are in the MSDN Forums and looking at bugs reported through the Product Feedback Center. Please don't hesitate to take advantage of these resources when you run into difficulties. Our goal is for you to have a great experience with our products, and we regret the bug that Frans and others have encountered.

No KB out yet, and for what's worth: the fix won't be public, you will have to call PSS.

Great way to deal with customers... :/

You guys need *code* to crash VS? I think I'm WAY ahead of you -- I just got VS2005 Standard edition RTM from the MS Launch event. I thought I'd do a little exploration with it and write a couple utilities for my PDA.

So I install the full VS2005 Std. & MSDN library.
I finish the install, restart the PC, defrag
the disk, then before I go to sleep I start up
Visual Studio just to make sure it launches.
Ok, it starts, the IDE displays, and it loads its default www page on startup.

I decide I'm too tired to do any more coding /
checking it out, so *all* I do is go into the
Preferences / Options, change to the
setting that tells it to load an
"blank workspace" instead of the default WWW
home page on startup. I save that change,
exit VS2005. Now, the next day, I rebooted
the PC, and tried to load VS again. *BOOM*
100% repeatedly when I try to load the program it displays its splash screen and instantaneously that's covered up with an crash/error handler dialog --
"Microsoft Visual Studio has encounteed a
problem and needs to close"
AppName: devenv.exe AppVer: 8.0.50727.42 AppStamp:4333e699
ModName: msenv.dll ModVer: 8.0.50727.42 ModStamp:4333e919
fDebug: 0 Offset: 0000e745

It doesn't matter if I start it from the
START menu, or by clicking on a .cs file or
anything else, all it can do now is instantly
crash. I even manually edited the
"General.vssettings" XML file to change the
startup behavior in case it was that change that I made that causes the bug, no, as far
as I can tell it doesn't effect it.

So, yes, VS2005 blows up without even a SINGLE
line of code EVER having beed viewed / edited /
compiled by its IDE. Way to go Microsoft,
I thought I needed my new AMD-X2 dual core
PC to accellerate your applications, but with
new VS2005 technology you can make them crash
faster than the blink of an eye!

Scott: will do :) The fix is done, the hotfix is released soon, it's a discussion now whether it will be public (good) or not (bad). Either way I'll blog about it and will send you the KB number :)

Frans,

When you get a KB Number, shoot it to me, and I'll announce it on www.kbalertz.com

If it's a standard KB, it'll go out automatically, but if it's a KB that you author, then it's not automated.

Please let me know if you get the hotfix.
