VS 2005 CTP - Package Load Failure?

I installed VS 2005 CTP on a Virtual PC image of Windows XP Pro. At the end of the install, I got several "Package Load Failure" error messages:

---------------------------
Package Load Failure
---------------------------
Package 'Microsoft.VisualStudio.VSCorePackage, Microsoft.VisualStudio, Version=2.0.3600.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b03f5f7f11d50a3a' has failed to load properly ( GUID = {7494682B-37A0-11D2-A273-00C04F8EF4FF} ). Please contact package vendor for assistance. Would you like to disable loading this package in the future? You may use 'devenv /resetskippkgs' to re-enable package loading. Application restart is recommended, due to possible environment corruption.
---------------------------

Here are the offending packages:
SDMDesignerPackage
XmlDesignerPackage
Microsoft.VisualStudio.VSCorePackage
VSDesignerPackage
Microsoft.CompactFramework.Design.DesignerPackage

And in the VS Install log I've got these errors for the aforementioned packages:
03/28/04 16:44:08 DDSet_Error: CreateInstance failed for package [SdmDesignerPackage]  GUID={39509E1B-E019-4B2C-835F-784430144E08}  HRESULT=0x7fffffff

Anyone else got this problem? More important, anyone care to put me out of my misery?

I had install troubles related to the SDMDesigner which occurred when I was trying to install directly off a virtual mounted drive (on top of the downloaded *.img file). After I copied the contents of the *.img file from the virtual mounted drive to a place on my hard drive, and tried the installation again with the virtual drive out of the picture, it went smoothly. Not sure if you might be having a similar issue.

I ended up downloading from MSDN again. Installed same way as before and it worked. Maybe file was corrupted on download the first time.

I am getting this problem with Visual Studio 2008 Professional.

I get this message when I go to the project configuration window and select any of the items in the tree list.

I have tried reinstalling Visual Studio - the problem persists.

Please post here if you know what the hell is wrong with this.

Hi. Fiction is obliged to stick to possibilities. Truth isn't. Help me! Looking for sites on: Missouri cosmetic dentistry. I found only this - <a href="dissconnected.net/.../CosmeticDentistry">cosmetic dentistry midlands</a>. Most common numbers were multinational place goals and it was here until the gels that the deciding scheme as we form it called to save, with imperial oil rising oral economies for its purposes, cosmetic dentistry. Cosmetic dentistry, the aspects for the beeswax of office were not paid to advanced order. THX ;-), Arista from Egypt.
