Earlier I downloaded the "Microsoft Visual Studio Tools for the Microsoft Office System" and now I see there's a "Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 Tools for the 2007 Microsoft Office System" download that is available.

I had to remove everything because I was experiencing problems when trying to run in debug mode (The ApplicationStartUp event was not firing, but that's another story). Now I get the following error which occurred after I remove the first VSTO install and then installed the latest.

"The Visual Studio Environment Menu Package ({715F10EB-9E99-11D2-BFC2-00C04F990235}) did not load because of previous errors. For assistance, contact the package vendor. To attempt to load this package again, type 'devenv /resetskippkgs' at the command prompt."

Which version of VSTO to use depends on

1. Which version of Office is installed

2. What you plan to do with VSTO / what kind of solution you need to develop.

Without that information, it's difficult to give you any kind of answer.

I have the same problem .. Office 2007, Visual Studio Team Edition 2005.

Its causing major problems in my environment, I dont even have the option to 'View Designer' for my pages. I have tried a clean install of VS multiple times and use the MS Visual Studio Cleaner to remove any old traces.

Thank you

Hi Nexemis

In Visual Studio 2005 the "View Designer" is available only for Office 2003. If you have Office 2007 installed you cannot create document-level customizations, only Office 2007 Add-ins (by downloading and installing the free VSTO 2005 SE).

Visual Studio 2008 will have document-level customizations for Office 2007. I believe you can download a beta edition if you'd like to try it out.

Thank you, I will try that. It used to work but I had to reinstall everything, maybe I forgot to install that.
