Server Explorer Gone Invisible?
Is Server explorer on your visual studio gone invisible and throwing the following error when you are trying to view it?
The Visual Studio Explorers and Designers Package ({8D8529D3-625D-4496-8354-3DAD630ECC1B}) did not load because of previous errors. For assistance, contact the package vendor. To attempt to load this package again, type 'devenv /resetskippkgs' at the command prompt.
Follow these steps to get it back.
1.Close all open instances of Visual Studio.
2.Open the Command Prompt in an Administrator context by navigating to Start\All Programs\Accessories, right-clicking Command Prompt and choosing Run as Administrator.
3.Navigate to the install path of VS2008 - in my case (default on Vista x64) it was *C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 2008 9.0\Common7\IDE*
4.Run the command devenv /setup. It takes a little time, wait till it completes.
5.Start Visual Studio.
You have reset your Visual Studio to the default settings through the above steps.
And you can see the Server Explorer again!!
