After installing Visual Studio 2008 SP1 I started to get weird crashes while trying to view aspx markup in ASP.NET MVC Preview 5 projects. The IDE would just disappear without any error messages. I tried rebooting my machine, but it didn't help. I looked in the event log and found this message:
.NET Runtime version 2.0.50727.3053 - Fatal Execution Engine Error (6EF35E00) (80131506)
Not very informative but at least something use when searching the web. I found a few posts with this error message, some posts had tips on how they solved the issue. I tried to clearing out my temp folders
- c:\windows\temp
- c:\users\<user>\appdata\local\temp
- c:\windows\microsoft.net\framework\v2\temporary internet files
Unfortunately that didn't resolve the issue, Visual Studio continued to crash.
Since I had installed the Silverlight 2.0 Tools and SDK recently I figured it might be cause of the problem. Uninstalled it and rebooted the machine but to no avail. I started to look through the programs I had installed, trying to find anyone that could cause the problems. Among a few tools I've installed were PowerCommands for Visual Studio 2008. Uninstalling it solved the issue. Very weird, I hope it gets fixed soon. PowerCommands is great and I hope to be able to install it soon again.
