I have a multi-project .NET application which I am developing in Visual Studio 2008. If I try to open the project properties for one of my projects (to change settings or publish) Visual Studio immediately closes. There is no prompt to send a report to Microsoft, and two consecutive errors logged in the Event Viewer:

  • .NET Runtime version 2.0.50727.3053 - Fatal Execution Engine Error (7A035E00) (80131506)
  • .NET Runtime version 2.0.50727.3053 - Fatal Execution Engine Error (7A2E0F92) (0)

If I delete all the .user and .suo files in my solution, I can once again publish and access project properties. The error, however, returns over time. This seems to suggest that the .suo or .user files are getting corrupted by Visual Studio. Has anyone else had this issue or know how to fix the problem?
