EnvDTE.OutputGroup.get_FileCount() exception with Silverlight 2 RC0
If you installed Silverlight 2.0 RC0 with the Blend 2.5 June Preview on the box you will notice the installer blocked on this version of Blend and gave the following error message:
However, on the forums some customers have proceeded to install Blend 2.5 Preview on the box after installing Silverlight 2.0 RC0. These versions are not compatible and if you see the exception EnvDTE.OutputGroup.get_FileCount() in the designer of the Visual Studio tools it is most likely because you have these mismatched product versions.
If you are in this state you can repair your install with these steps:
- Uninstall Blend 2.5 June Preview.
- Uninstall the Microsoft 2 SDK in Add/Remove Programs:
- Re-install the Silverlight Tools.
Note that this release of Silverlight only supports Blend 2.0 with Service Pack 1. The service pack can be downloaded here: A trial of Blend 2 can be found here if you haven’t already purchased it.
Thank you,
