visual studio .net setup : Something is wrong with my VS2005 installation.

Hello.
I had a VS2005 Beta1 installed on my machine (XP SP2).
I uninstalled it using the Microsoft's uninstall application.
I also tried uninstalling the Beta1 manually.
I succeeded in all of my processes.
However, after installing my new VS2005 professional Edition, I got few
error messages (warning) when opened the application (they do not appear any
more).
I opened a Form, using double click (on the Form.cs file), and I get the
following error:
"Could not load type 'Microsoft.VisualStudio.Shell.IVsRunningDocumentTable2'
from assembly 'Microsoft.VisualStudio.Shell.Interop.8.0, Version=8.0.0.0,
Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b03f5f7f11d50a3a'.

Can someone help me start using my VS2005 Prof. Edition.
Thanks,
Janiv Ratson.

I had this same problem. The solution can be found as the second item
on the following page:

http://lab.msdn.microsoft.com/productfeedback/ViewWorkaround.aspx?FeedbackID=FDBK24236#2

FDBK24236#2: Duplicate Assemblies

Workaround Description:
The Problem arises from 2 assemblies of the same name /version but are
infact different.

Workaround Steps:
Open Windows Explorer and navigate to C:\Windows\assembly
Locate the Microsoft.VisualStudio.Shell.Interop.8.0 assembly name
There are two assemblies with the same version
Right click to Properties on each and remember the older of the two's
last modified dates
Right click the older of the two and select Uninstall

Once I closed the IDE and reopened, the designers worked as expected.

Thank you. At least on the surface, this resolved a problem I have been
fighting for three months with many installs and uninstalls.
