Some VS2005 and VS2008 Wizards Pop Up Script Error.
Visual C++ team has discovered that after installing the current release of Internet Explorer (Internet Explorer 8), some VC++ wizards do not function correctly. The products affected are Visual Studio 2005 and Visual Studio 2008. Following are the affected wizards:
- Add Function
- Add Variable
- Smart Device – New Project Creation
- Smart Device – Add Class
Invoking any of the above wizards in VS2005 or VS2008 will pop up a script error if IE8 is installed on the machine. We have a workaround for those who have encountered this error.
Please follow the following steps:
- Open regedit (on a 64-bit OS, open the 32-bit regedit)
- Under “HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet
Settings\Zones”, create a new key called 1000 (if it isn't already there)
- Under 1000, create a DWORD entry with:
o Name = 1207
o Type = REG_DWORD
o Data = 0x000000
For the workaround to work on VS2005 however, the VS2005 SP1 (and VS2005 SP1 Update for Windows Vista) has to be installed.
