Sorry to post something that has happened with earlier versions as I did search but I cannot figure it out. I've tried all combinations of uninstalling, and reinstalling both the XNA GSE and Visual Studio 2008 but cannot come to fix this issue.

It all started out when I had to shut down my laptop manually when it locked up one time. After restarting as soon as I opened VS2008 Vista told me "Visual Studio 2008 has stopped working" not even 5 seconds after the program opened. So I tried uninstalling and reinstalling it but it gave me the same error. So then I repair/reinstall it and now it gives me the new "The project type is not supported by this installation" whenever I try to open/create a XNA or ".csproj" project. Can anyone point me to the latest solution?


EDIT: Fixed! Just had to open the VS2008 Command Prompt and run "devenv /ResetSkipPkgs"

Where is the VS2008 Command Prompt? Is this different from the normal windows command prompt?

For express edition open cmd.exe, browse to C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0\Common7\IDE, and execute VCSExpress /resetskippkgs (worked for me)
