Package Load Failure with Visual Studio Std Ed
Hi,
I've been having a problem with a "Package Load Failure" after installing
VS 2005 Standard Edition (final release). I had Visual C# installed previously,
but no beta versions of anything.
In Visual Studio, When I open: Tools > Options > Environment > Fonts and Colors
I get this:

Microsoft Visual Studio
-
Package Load Failure
Package 'Microsoft Data Transformation Services Designer' has failed to load properly
(GUID = {96836E93-F71C-4160-A4EA-26AE801D2F63} ). Please contact package vendor for
assistance. Application restart is recommended, due to possible environment corruption.
Would you like to disable loading this package in the future? You may use
'devenv /resetskippkgs' to re-enable package loading.

I've already looked at Aaron Stebner's Blog entries on this matter:

I tried the troubleshooting tool mentioned there, and it didn't find any problems.
I then used that tool to uninstall everything, and then reinstall VS 2005.
I then got a successful installation message, but it didn't matter
- I STILL have the same problem.
Does anyone have any ideas as to what I should try next?
THANKS!!!
