Hi!
I've encountered a strange problem with VS2010 SP1 on one of our networks.
We have 2 separate managed networks. The only real difference between them is a few group policies.
On one network VS2010 SP1 works fine, however, on the other network the following happens.
Open a new project (existing or blank), click debug (or build the project) and VS crashes.
when VS restarts, debug works as normal UNTIL something in the project changes. Then VS crashes and upon restart, all changes are saved and debug works again as normal until changes are made.
the change can be anything, adding an element to a form, any coding, renaming a form etc etc.
Event log do show an event:
Event ID 1000
"Faulting application devenv.exe version 10.0.40229.1, stamp 4d5f2a73, faulting module unknown, version 0, stamp 0, debug? 0, fault address 0x05cccccc"
The issue occurs on a fresh build, with a fresh install of VS2010 with SP1.
The issue occurs when using devenv.exe /safemode and when using Devenv /ResetSkipPkgs
The issue occurs when using an admin account
devenv.exe /log only seems to log start up activities
procmon logs don't show any access denied messages (though as I'm using an admin account, I wouldn't expect that anyway).
I'm in the process of having the machine moved to an unmanaged OU to rule out any group policy issues before analysing RSoP scans
I've ruled out running the uninstall tool, as this is also occurring on other machines, all on built on the same network, with VS installed using the same install source as machine on the other network that work fine.
for the above reason I've also ruled out account corruption issues.
I'm also checking that all updates are installed using MBSA.
Has anyone seen this before? (have found people experiencing a similar issue, not not quite the same, on various forums)
Can anyone suggest anything else i can try to get to the bottom of this?
Cheers!
Paul
