Package load failure in IDE - 'devenv /resetskippkgs' ?
I've installed VS2005 beta 2 - appeared ok, but in IDE I get lots of package load failures, and recommendations to skip package loading (and suggestion to use 'devenv /resetskippkgs' to re-enable).
Having completely uninstalled and re-installed several times, nothing seems to work.
Any suggestions ?
Sounds similar to this:

This may due to the package information in the registry
Please do the following
First very the packeges are installed correctly.
for this go to registry and veryfy HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\VWDExpress\8.0\Packages
if the installation is correct it will look like(this is only a part of the entry)
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\VWDExpress\8.0\Packages\{019971D6-4685-11D2-B48A-0000F87572EB}]

and save the file
then goto regedit
and from fregistry menu select import registry file
then select the file you save and press open, all information about the packages will load into the registry.
then open Web Developer
