I’ve started getting an odd problem with Visual Studio 2010 crashing. I wondered if anyone has seen this?

I first noticed the problem trying to use the NuGet package manager to add some libraries to a project (actually Moq and Machine.Specifications). Upon adding the second package, Visual Studio would crash. It doesn’t matter what order the packages are added or to which solution. Whenever I try to add a package to a solution that already has a NuGet package- .

After some more prodding, I noticed that in fact opening any two XML files causes the same symptoms – crash! To repro this, I can create a new Windows Console App solution, add two XML files to the solution (accepting the default names and content). Then when I open the files, upon opening the second file – – visual studio crashes. WTF?

Any ideas?

    Tim, I really can’t remember to well but try reloading the latest MSXML, which I think maybe version 6.
