Trouble Launching VB 2005 Express Beta 2

I have been through the lengthy download/install process to get VB 2005 Express Beta 2 up. Everything seemed to go fine but when I try to launch it I get a "The page cannot be displayed" error with C:\Program%20Files\Microsoft%20Visual%20Studio%208\Common7\IDE\html\GettingStarted.htm in the address field. Just before I get this message a VB 2005 Express window flashes on the screen but it is gone before I can read it!

Help!

In poking around some other threads I think I have found a fix ... using Aaron Stebner's tool to fix the uninstallation of VB 05 Ex Beta1 ... http://blogs.msdn.com/astebner/archive/2005/04/21/410573.aspx

Things seem to be OK now.

Fripper -

This is another problem related to having previsouly had Beta1 installed on your machine. We are working on fixing this issue for the final release.

In the meantime, you can fix this problem by doing the following steps:
1) Go to the Tools menu and select “Import and Export Settings…”
2) On the first page, select the “Reset All Settings” option and click Next
3) On the next page, accept the default of backing up your current settings and click Next
4) On the next page, select Finish
5) Restart the product
