Hi Sara,<br />
<br />
Was not able to get any more error messages to find out where things go wrong, but eventually I managed to get things going again by installing VS2005 SP1 from the MSDN site. Initially it didn't seem to work, but I think a restart and registry clean up did the trick afterwards.<br />
Thanks!

Recently I installed Microsoft Office 2013 on my laptop. I first did a complete uninstall of the existing Office 2010 installation using a hotfix from Mircosoft.<br />
After this installation I realized that Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 no longer starts. I need this to develop Reporting Services reports as our RS server is still running on SQL 2005. I tried doing a repair, but when I look up the vs_install.msi file it tells me the location is unavailable. This version of VS came installed with the SQL Server installation on my laptop. It's the Premier Partner edition.<br />
Anyone have any idea how I can get this to work again without having to re-install half my laptop?<br />
Thanks.
