How to workaround the Error: “The application cannot start.” in Visual Studio 2010 Beta 2

Category: amilsark @ 17:17

I witnessed this error after a failed attempt to upgrade an ASP.Net MVC 1.0 application to ASP.Net MVC 2 using Visual Studio 2010 Beta 2.  When I closed Visual Studio 2010 Beta 2 and tried to reopen it, the application crashed with the error “The application cannot start.

 

I found this Microsoft connect article which helped me solve the problem.  Microsoft Connect

 

Steps I took:

1. Open a command prompt

2. Type:  cd “C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 10.0\Common7\IDE”  (notice I’m using a x64 machine, the program files directory would be different on a 32 bit system)

3. Type: devenv /resetuserdata

This will reset your language preference that you select when you first load Visual Studio 2010 Beta 2.  My custom fonts (sizes, colors, etc) were retained.

 

Now Visual Studio 2010 Beta 2 loads again.  This is a bug that might be related to a raster font, but this should get you back up and working for now.
