visual studio .net setup:
Hi,

Whenever I try and create a new project using VC++ or VB I recieve this
message. MS website says to re-install but unfortunatly this is not possible
on the 1000 machines I have to manage remotely.

Is there a way to resolve this error message without having to repair using
the Control Panel?

I have tried to fix this by taking an installation image (using win-install)
of the repair install. When applied to another machine this fixes VB but
doesn't work for VC++. In VC++ I get to the point of using the wizard to
create a project but when I click finish the project doesn't appear in either
the solution explorer or the list of projects. Checking filestore confirms
that nothing was created. VS knows that C++ is installed and offers all the
projects but nothing happens, if you know how to fix this I would also like
to know.

Any help you can offer VERY much appreciated.

Just in case anyone else has the same problem here is the fix I found:

I managed to extract the cure from a snapshot image from a repair install of
VS and after an examination of the reg file I determined all the DLLS, OCX,
TLB and other files that had been re-registered and created a batch file to
re-register them:

regsvr32 /s "C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Visual Database
Tools\vdt70.dll"
regsvr32 /s "C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\VS7Debug\pdm.dll"
regsvr32 /s "C:\winnt\system32\msdxm.ocx"

rem regsvr32 /s"C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Web

Shared\MSDesigners7\msddsf.dll"
regsvr32 /s "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio .NET
2003\Vc7\vcpackages\vcpkg.dll"

The above was enough to cure the problem on my machines.

Hope that helps anyone in the same predicament,

I get the same message but unfortunately this didn't help. It said that they
registered them successfully but VS still didn't work.
