ASP.NET MVC CTP5 IDE Failure

Question

I recently installed MVC CTP5 and VS is now crashing when I try to open aspx, I get the following error in the event viewer:

.NET Runtime version 2.0.50727.3053 - Fatal Execution Engine Error (7A035E00) (80131506) 

I was able to find this post on asp.net forums related to the same issue, but no one else had a working solution (At least not for me).

Just wondering if anyone else ran into this problem and what did they do to solve it?

EDIT: I wanted to add that I tried all the tips in this article and can open the markup using the code editor, but I wondered if the actual solution was found to solve this problem .. Thank you!

EDIT: I don't have this problem in my Vista window, it seems to only happen on my XP virtual machine.

Answer 1

I'm having a problem with the Power and Preview 5 commands. If you have Power Commands installed, try updating or removing it to fix the problem.

Answer 2

Below are the steps for working with a post that work for me:

1. Open a project based on CTP5

2.IN Explorer Explorer, turn on "Show all files"

3. Open the "bin" folder and delete "Microsoft.Web.Mvc.dll", "System.Web.Mvc.dll", "System.Web.Abstractions.dll", "System.Web.Routing.dll"

4. Open the "Links" folder, click "ERROR" in the "System.Web.Abstractions" window and in the "Properties" window change "Copy local" to "true". Repeat the same with System.Web.Routing.

Appendix 5.Build (Ctrl + Shift + B)

6. Open site.master in the designer. VS will not work.

FYI - Microsoft has released a patch that fixes [at least some changes] to this problem:

Answer 4

A bit of a null answer, but I also have this. Not that I often restart VS, but I clear the bin folder before opening the web project - this is my workaround.

Answer 5

Have the same issue on Vista x64 and vs2008 sp1. Be sure to do something with the bin and system.web.routing / abstraction cleanup folder because it crashes even in a webforms project with (mvc) routing in it. When I delete all files from bin and add links again, it works fine.
Really annoying bug in vs2008 + ctp5!
