Install Issue With Visual Studio 2005 'Project Creation Failed'

I installed visual studio 2005 team edition. I am getting a 'Project creation Failed' whenever I try to create a new project. I also get plenty of package load failures. when I try to do things. I have uninstalled this and reinstalled it 4 times now and have no luck.

Had issues the first time I installed it. Could not find files that did exist. I had to tell the install where the files were on the DVD. But have not had these issues on subsequesnt reinstalls.

Any ideas of whats happening or how to completely uninstall this and reinstall it properly?

Thanks
Chuck

Hi Dasmaer,

Thanks for the reply. You are partially right. So I will give you the points. I found it was a corrupt global assembly cache (GAC). One thing taht pointed me in th eright direction were "package load failures" everywhere I found a blog that tells how to completely remove the installation.

its located at
