Unspecified error when adding a new Windows form or component.

In Visual Studio 2003 when I try to add a new component or form to a project it pops up an error, "Unspecified Error" with no details. I tried re-setting permissions on the disk drive and also re-installing VS 2003 with no joy. Everything was hunky-dory until I installed WSE 2.0. Anybody have any clues?

Finally cured the problem by completely uninstalling VS 2003, then deleting everything that was left in its directory, and then re-installing. Probably was not WSE 2.0 that originally caused the problem. Around the same time I dowloaded a smart document wrapper add-in and other demo code from the web. Live and learn.
