Install Problem - VS 2005
I am having an Orcas install issue I have not seen in the forums yet.
At the end of the install there is a step that seems to launch VS.2005 in the background and eventually it crashes and I get the "Relaunch VS.2005 - Send Error to Microsoft" dialog. After that the Orcas install rolls back.
I ran the Microsoft .Net 3.0 Uninstaller before attempting the .NET FX RC1 install and have uninstalled / reinstalled VS.2005. .Net FX 3.0 apps do run fine on this machine (Microsoft Max and other programming samples)
Any ideas or install switches I can try?

1) Administrator - Yes
2) XP SP2, all updates applied according to Windows Update
3) This machine I beleive not. It was paved over before SIGGRAPH. Only 'old' things are VS 2003 and .NET 1.1.
3)Order - .NET 3.0, Windows SDK, Orcas
4) DMP file is on its way
This gets a little tricky without have a repro machine I can put in front of a Dev.
What sku of VS 2005 are you installing, Standard, Professional, Express? I assumed you installed VS 2005 before you installed the items listed in #3 above. The Orcas CTP Development Tools for NetFX 3.0 does not work with VS 2003. This CTP is an add on to VS 2005.
VS 2005 Professional from MSDN DVD's
VS 2005 had been/is still working fine on this machine. I can launch the IDE load a non-trivial application (World Wind) compile and debug just fine. .NET 3.0 seems to be working as well with the AvalonMontage sample app and Microsoft Max.
VS 2003 is also installed on the machine and was installed first. It too is working, I can load the 1.1 version of World Wind, compile and debug as well or create new projects.

You can use the command "msiexec /i vsextwfx.msi /lvx* install.log" to log the verbose setup log.
Would it also be possible to test this on the new VS 2005 SP1 beta released? The call stack of the dump file you sent me seems similar to some of the bugs we fixed in the VS 2005 SP1.

I tried installing VS 2005 SP1 and the same error with it! VS tries to start up in the background and gives me an error dialog.
Any clues or are you going to send me over to the SP1 forums now? :-)
