Unspecified Error adding forms to project

Hello

I think I screwed myself here and I am no sure how to fix it. I installed
Visual Basic 6 to work on some old projects, but I installed it after I
installed Visual Studio.net 2003. After I installed VB6, I couldn't add
forms to my VS.NET VB Projects, so i removed it and I still can't add forms
to my projects. I get an error "UNSPECIFIE D ERROR" real helpful I know,
I've searched everywhere on support.microso ft.com and I can't find anything
that helps me.

Please help
Thanks

You just know what I'm gonna say dont you ?

Preserve your solutions directory and then remove VS2003 , reboot and
re-install. You might find the solution in the end, but its quicker to spend
an hour reloading it, than endlessly searching for a surgically accurate
fix.

Thanks OHM,

That's what I was afraid of, I don't have my Visual Studio discs with me
today. I'll try this and let you know how it works out.

Thanks

Mhm... Run setup in repair mode (this will take very long, I know).

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?

I've just added a fixed dialog form to my project and set up an Oledbdataadapter as I've done on several other forms on the same project. The problem is that when I try to generate a dataset now I get an unspecified error message, and when I go back to other forms on the project it does it there too even though the pages compile and run and the connection is correct and open. Any ideas? Posted Via Usenet.com Premium Usenet Newsgroup...

The problem is that sometimes it gives an error - even when it is doing the same exact operations. It may fail on the 20th tick event or the 100th. The file and data has no changes - so, it is doing the same operations repeatedly. I'm wondering if anyone...

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
