#1183 Votive in 3.0.4025.0 crashes VS2005

[Chris Karper]

When I create a new solution with a WiX project in it, VS2005 ends prematurely. I can sometimes get the project to open, but the solution explorer remains empty, and devenv will crash again sooner or later.

I'm running Vista 64 bit, UAC is turned off.
I have VS2008 installed, and the projects will upgrade and open properly in VS2008.

Let me know if you need more information.

I can't repro this. Votive on VS2005 works fine for me. Can you get a stack trace for the VS2005 crash?

If I try to debug it, I get a buffer overflow, closing the debugging instance of VS2005 as well. Not sure what else I can provide, but I can repro this every time, so if you give me instructions, I'll be happy to help.

No reports of this recently, so I assume it has been fixed. If not, it would be great if you could attach a callstack of the crash.
