Error loading WPF package?

Package download error

Package 'Microsoft.VisualStudio.Xaml' did not load correctly., Yadda, yadda, yadda.

So now? This package is somewhat important as I was hoping to do some WPF stuff this afternoon. Tried working without it and my XAML design didn't go away.

I've already tried "devenv / resetsettings" from the command line.

Thanks Scott

Try to repair the installation.

  • Control Panel
  • Add Remove Programs
  • Select Visual Studio 2008 and select "repair"


Have you recently installed any updates for Visual Studio or any add-ons? If so, can you list them?

Install SP1: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=FBEE1648-7106-44A7-9649-6D9F6D58056E&displaylang=en

I got this problem after a fresh install of Team Team Team VS2008. Tried downloading updates, running installation, reinstalling. Bad luck.



SP1 and bingo installed! More package download failures.

I -FINALLY- saw this error coming under "Tools | Options | Environment and Colors Fonts" after trying everything I could think of to fail when I selected "Tools | Import and Export".

I got this problem when I installed Visual Studio Professional.

My theory was that this was because I already had Visual C # 2008 Express Edition installed.

Once I uninstalled and reinstalled Visual Studio Professional it worked.

This is consistent with the OP's solution, which was to remove everything that implemented the XAML functionality.

In my case, just reinstalling SP1 did not work

Then I saw that there was a mixed two languages ​​in the IDE. So, I checked the installed programs and found:

  • Microsoft Visual Studio Tools for Applications 2.0 ENU
  • Microsoft Visual Studio Tools for Applications 2.0 Language Pack - ESN

When yive removed the extra package the design views started working again

In my case the machine.config file received bad XML due to a recent install. There were two end tags. After fixing the bad XML, .NET works fine.

Thanks to Abraham for the tip. I lost my end tag in .NET .NET x86 machine.config.

However, I have already spent hours repairing, uninstalling, installing and installing service packs.

WILL NOT BE GLORY IF THE VISUAL STUDIO 2008 GETTING THE "MACHINE.CONFIG" ERROR!
