Version2003 Version2007?

  • Article

Saw a weird bug in VSTO this weekend as I was setting up a new home machine (Quad core—woohoo!).  After I installed VSTO, I got this in the new projects dialog:

clip_image001

Version2003 and Version2007 were displayed rather than 2003 and 2007.

Turns out that this can happen if you install Vista, then install Visual Studio, then install Vista SP1—which I did. 

The fix for this if you want to get back to the expected 2003 and 2007 labels is to launch the Visual Studio Command Prompt and run devenv.exe /setup which will reset the labels.
