NullReferenceException when creating new project

[Chris Dunaway]

This is a repost of an issue that I did not get any responses on, so I
thought I'd try it again.

I just installed VS.Net 2003 Ent. Arch. on a machine with Windows XP Pro.
The installation went without any errors.

When I attempt to create a new project (either VB or C#), a messagebox pops
up saying that there was a NullReferenceException and the form designer has
a big red cross (red X) through it. This also happens if I just add a
Windows form to the project.

If I click the run button, the app runs without error and the form is
displayed (with nothing on it since I can't design the form).

Has anyone else experienced this?

Any clues to solve this problem are most appreciated.

Hi Chris

I'm sorry that I don't have an answer for you, but one reason why you may
not have had any responses is the vague subject line. I would suggest on
future requests that you include something of the actual problem.

My subject reads: "NullReferenceException when creating new project"

That's pretty specific. Do you not see that? I wonder if the recent
problems with the news groups have caused my post to disappear?

Anyway, thanks for the response.

No, your subject reads "Can Anyone help???". Your *body* includes the
details, but if you don't put something meaningful in the subject line,
a lot of people will just skip over it.

My original subject read what I stated, but I see that I managed to multi-
post with a new subject.
