CodeDomDesignerLoaderNoRootSerializer appears
Hi guys, I have the same problem as: >>I'm having problems loading WWF b1.2 onto VS2005 RTM on WinXP. >>Getting error: CodeDomDesignerLoaderNoRootSerializer.>>The version for VS RTM is 8.0.50727.42 >>I've tried install/deinstall/reinstall several times on 2 separate machines. >>Any suggestions? >>TIA However a fiend of mine does not have it. The only difference between our cases is that he has uninstalled VS.NET 2003 before installing VS 2005 and I have them both running. Could this be a problem (both of them running ) for WWF to work correctly? |

I don't think it has anything to do with the VS.NET 2003 being installed before you install VS 2005. I've just re-built a new system from the ground up. It has a new and clean install. It has all the current system updates. It has only the OS (2003), Visual Studio 2005 full flavor, and the WWF beta 1.2 and I get the same error.
It worked the first time I opened it and loaded the hello workflow project. I then closed the hello world project, and attempted to open a new workflow project and that is when I got this same error. Now every workflow project gives that error, even the hello workflow one which worked the first time.
Any light to be shed on this issue would be greatly appreciated.Exact same problem here. VS 2005 RTM, WinWF Beta 1.2, XP SP2. The error occurs when trying to open a workflow in the designer. Uninstall/reinstall of WinWF and repair of VS did not cure the problem.

Same error for me: CodeDomDesignerLoaderNoRootSerializer trying to load and view a workflow.
I had WWF Beta 1 installed earlier.
Then installed Visual Studio 2005.
Then installed Beta 1.2 WWF. (produing this error.)
Then uninstalled WWF and reinstalled WWF 1.2
Same result.
May have to try removing VS and then reinstalling both - probably VS first.

You should verify if there is no assembly version missmatch. Open c:\windows\assembly and verify the version of following assemblies. To check the version, right click the assembly, select properties, switch to Version tab and verify File version.
1. EnvDTE80 (should be 8.0.50727.42)
2.Microsoft.Workflow.VSDesigner (should be 3.0.3203.56)
3.System.Workflow.Runtime (should be 3.0.3203.56)
4.System.Workflow.ComponentModel (should be 3.0.3203.56)
5.System.Workflow.Activities (should be 3.0.3203.56)
My assemblies do not match your list: I have 8.0.0.0, 8.0.0.0, 3.0.0.0, 3.0.0.0 and 3.0.0.0 respectively and I get the error. My colleague has these same numbers but his install works. Any other clues?
Both he and I are running the release version of VS 2005.
Any help?
