R – Visual Studio 2008 crashes when trying to load solution file

add-incrashvisual-studio-2008

When I try to load a solution in Visual Studio 2008, it immediately closes. I get the following error in the event log:

.NET Runtime version 2.0.50727.3053 –
Fatal Execution Engine Error
(6E875E00) (80131506)

I've searched the web high and low and can't find a resolution to this problem. I've found similar issues, but none of them match the (6E875E00) part. Here's my setup:

Vista 64
Visual Studio 2008 SP1
.Net Framework 3.5 SP1
ReSharper 4.1
Gallio 3.05
TestDriven.Net 2.18

I have a feeling it is one of the add-ins, but I don't know which one.

Anyone experience this? This is very frustrating!

EDIT: The answer to this problem for future reference was to uninstall Gallio. This was the only add-in that caused the crash. Thanks to all for the help!

Try creating a new solution and importing your existing projects.

Alternitivly, uninstall ReShaper, Gallio and TestDriven and see if the solution loads. Then install one addin at a time until you find the culprit.
