NullReferenceException when creating new project

[Chris Dunaway]

I just installed VS.Net 2003 Ent. Arch. on a machine with Windows XP Pro.
The installation went without any errors.

When I attempt to create a new project (either VB or C#), a messagebox pops
up saying that there was a NullReferenceException and the form designer has
a big red cross (red X) through it. This also happens if I just add a
Windows form to the project.

If I click the run button, the app runs without error and the form is
displayed (with nothing on it since I can't design the form).

Has anyone else experienced this?

Any clues to solve this problem are most appreciated.

I am not sure, but I think I run a similar issue with VS.Net 2002 long time
ago. A repair fixed the problem.

Thanks for the reply. I tried a repair and it didn't seem to work. I
guess I'll have to try to uninstall and then reinstall.
