Installed VS2008

Wednesday, April 9th, 2008

So I got VS2008 installed (yes, behind the times) and created a C# windows app. Main came up, but when I opened the form designer I got an error:

“The service Microsoft.VisualStudio.Shell.Interop.ISelectionContainer already exists in the service container. Parameter name: serviceType”.

Sure, why the hell not. I actually reverse-snorted out loud, it was that funny (if only instantaneously). Found some hotfixes here.

Need to restart, then take a break for a bit.  Next, I’ll be playing with some of the newer features of 3.5 and see what all the hubbub’s about.

Update: had to apply a hotfix, reboot, apply another hotfix, reboot again.  It also took care of a linker error that I briefly saw.
