Question VS loading problem

[JohnShell]

Hi,

I am trying to learn VB.NET. I loaded files and tried to open them and got this

Could not load type 'Microsoft.VisualStudio.Shell.IOleMenuCommand' from assembly 'Microsoft.VisualStudio.Shell.Interop.8.0, Version=8.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b03f5f7f11d50a3a'.

One project/file is from a book's CD and another is from a friend's program that loads and runs on his VS.

Any suggestions on how to get VS 2005 working?

Thanks,

John

I copied and pasted your error message into the Google search box and found this VS 2005 - Could not load type Microsoft.VisualStudio.Shell.IOleMenuCommand to view Project Properties thread. Scroll down (about +/-10 messages) to one from Victor Arrondo, and read on with a smile (read to the end to get all info). (Assuming that the fix works, of course. )

When you get an error in VS that you don't recognise, the cutting and pasting into google is a good tip. It has saved my bacon numerous times.

Incidentally, kudos to you for posting the error in full and correctly spelled etc.
If only everyone would do that.

Mr. henryminute

Much obliged to you for your effort and recommendation about using Google.
I agree with you, take the time to get the error's full text and spell correctly.
