I posted this on programmers first, but was told it belongs here. Funny, I didn’t think so.

I have VS10 installed on a Windows Server 2008 R2 box, along with several other versions of VS dating back years. This is our production build machine.

When I load or create any C++ project and do a Rebuild or Clean, the IDE crashes. In the crash details, I see this:

I have seen other reports what seems to be the exact same error on the web (example). Other than the advice to open a ticket, I’ve seen no solution.

Has anyone else encountered and fixed this problem? I’ve opened a ticket with MS, but I’m covering my bases posting here as well.

EDIT:

I ran a logfile as suggested in comments. These are the only entries that occured after I loaded up VS, so this includes the build & the crash:

    How about contacting MS support directly? If this is blocking your work, you can push them to have it fixed (don’t know about costs though, will probably depend on the product and specificities of your license…).

    Alternatively, you can build your solution in the commandline: open a VS 2010 command prompt (shortcut is located somewhere in the start menu):

    msbuild yoursolution.sln /p:Configuration=Debug

    That shouldn’t use devenv.exe (which is the thing crashing here) and invoke the tools directly.
