Visual Studio 2012 won't start
- by David Aleu
I installed VS2012 Premium from our MSDN subscription and it was working fine the first couple of days but then I installed a few extensions I can't now start VS2012 and it gives the error:
Faulting application name: devenv.exe, version: 11.0.50727.1, time stamp: 0x5011ecaa
Faulting module name: ntdll.dll, version: 6.1.7601.17725, time stamp: 0x4ec49b8f
Exception code: 0xc0000374
Fault offset: 0x000ce6c3
Faulting process id: 0xee8
Faulting application start time: 0x01cd89bb777fc1dd
Faulting application path: C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 11.0\Common7\IDE\devenv.exe
Faulting module path: C:\Windows\SysWOW64\ntdll.dll
I'm running it on Windows 7 64 bit.
I've tried to repair, uninstall and install again and nothing. I tried to restore to a previous restore system point but nothing.
The extensions I installed I can remember:
VS10x Code Map
VSCommands
Visual SVN
Nuget manager
(all the above my colleagues have it too and it works fine for them) and:
Web Essentials
Visual Studio Color Theme Editor
SlowCheetah
Mobile Ready HTML5
Questions are:
Anyone else has had this problem?
Is there a way I can uninstall extensions from a command line or software? (I removed the extensions folder but that doesn't do
anything)
Can I repair the "C:\Windows\SysWOW64\ntdll.dll"? Is it really a problem with this dll?
I haven't been able to find any similar issue in other versions and because VS2012 is new doesn't seem to be much information either.
