The application cannot start

The Last Danish Pastry

I have been using Visual C# Express 2010 Beta 2 for a few months.
Today I tried to use it and (after about 1 second) I got a message
"The application cannot start".
I found some advice at
http://blogs.msdn.com/visualstudio/...o-fix-the-application-cannot-start-error.aspx
and ran
vcsexpress /resetuserdata
but this did not fix the problem.
I then did maintenance/repair install of Visual C# Express 2010 Beta
2... but after that I still had the same problem.
I then uninstalled Visual C# Express and did a complete re-install...
same problem!

Any ideas?

Hello,

And have you tried the "What if that didn't fix the problem?" in particular
using the activity log or procmon ?

on.

Hi Clive,

I know nothing about VS2010, but since you are able to run it as another
user, I think your VS2010 data folder probably had been corrupted. Try
deleting below folders and see if the problem goes away or not,

%AppData%\Microsoft\VisualStudio\10.0

%LocalAppData%\Microsoft\VisualStudio\10.0

If you feel uneasy deleting a folder (I think you don't care since you
had already tried reinstall btw), try renaming it to something like !10.0

Regards.

Thanks kndg, that fixed it.

I renamed
C:\Documents and Settings\Clive\Application Data\Microsoft\VCSExpress\10.0
to
C:\Documents and Settings\Clive\Application Data\Microsoft\VCSExpress\10.0XX

and Visual C# now starts. Thank you very much.

I was working on a program to generate Latin cubes. [Every symbol occurs
exactly once in every line.]
I just recompiled the program and ran it. It generated the following Latin
cube in 89,734 microseconds:

----------
1 4 5 3 2 3 2 1 5 4 4 3 2 1 5 5 1 4 2 3 2 5 3 4 1
2 1 3 4 5 1 4 5 2 3 3 2 1 5 4 4 5 2 3 1 5 3 4 1 2
4 2 1 5 3 5 3 2 4 1 1 5 4 3 2 2 4 3 1 5 3 1 5 2 4
3 5 2 1 4 2 1 4 3 5 5 4 3 2 1 1 3 5 4 2 4 2 1 5 3

Glad that you had figured the correct folder.
