TeeChart 3.5 crashes Visual Studio 2008

I'm using TeeChart for .NET 3.5 and Visual Studio 2008 SP1. After installing TeeChart, I cannot use "Choose Toolbox Items" in the Visual Studio toolbox any more, VS2008 then crashes reproducably. This happens with releases 3.5.3225 and 3.5.3274. After uninstalling TeeChart, VS works fine again. So I guess this is a TeeChart problem. Is there any workaroud or maybe a new release planned in the near future to fix this ussue?

Reply-to-myself: After reading this thread and this thread, I checked the path in the registry key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\.NETFramework\AssemblyFolders\TeeChart, but the path is correct.

Hi ahellwig,

Yes, we are aware of this and seems to be a known VS2008 issue:

Thanks for your quick reply, but unfortunately, the workaround suggested there doesn't solve the problem, there was no change in behaviour. Do you know of any other way to be able to properly use VS2008 together with TeeChart?

Hi ahellwig,

I'm afraid not, the only solution for now is creating TeeChart components at runtime

.

Hi ahellwig,

As an update, another user solved the problem like this:

After installing TeeChart, I performed the following steps:

- Close Visual Studio
- Delete all files in:
C:\Windows\Temp
C:\Documents and Settings\<user>\Local Settings\Temp
C:\Documents and Settings\<user>\Local Settings\Microsoft\VisualStudio
- Restart Visual Studio 2008

You may want to check if it solves the problem for you.
