VS2008 SP1 crashes when debugging an XSLT file

Question

I'm using VS2008 SP1 - don't know if this would have happened before I applied SP1 as I never tried it before yesterday. I attempted to debug a fairly simple XSLT file using VS2008 SP1 and got this crash from VS2008 SP1:

Microsoft Visual Studio

Unexpected error encountered. It is recommended that you restart the application as soon as possible.

Error: Unspecified error

File: vsee\pkgs\vssprovider\sccprj.cpp

Answer 1

The same problem, after the stylesheet finishes processing, I get Unspecified error (and eveything seems ok after closing the error message box). Selecting source control plugin to "None" in VS options gets rid of the problem.

Answer 2

Here's the link to Microsoft's bug and "fix" report, which includes info on the work around (disabling your source control plugin): VS2008 sp1 - XSLT Debugging Error in sccprj.cpp

Answer 3

Yes, sounds so. To use it, I had to disable VSS temporarily each time by setting Tools, Options, Source Control, Plug-in selection, Current source control plug-in to "None".

Answer 4

We have reproduced this issue and will fix it in the next release of Visual Studio.
