A coworker just installed Visual-Studio-2010 Premium from MSDN. The install acted like it worked fine, but when he clicks the “File” menu, he only has “new file”. On my installation, I see a “New” menu with a sub-menu that contains Projects, Files, Team Projects.
Any ideas of things to check or how to fix his installation. I think he did a repair already.
Try Tools + Import and Export + Reset. This will restore the menus to their factory settings. This may be necessary when you just installed a new version of VS, as in this case, it imports the menus of the previous version of VS so everything looks familiar. That is not always desirable.
If that doesn’t pan out then the next step is to run devenv.exe with the /safemode command line option to ensure this isn’t an add-in that’s causing problems.
