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 "UNSPECIFIED ERROR" real helpful I know,
I've searched everywhere on support.microsoft.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).
