I had a bunch of PPT Add-ins that I never use.<br />

Hi Experts,<br />
<br />
Every time I launch PowerPoint 2010, a message (&quot;Please wait while Windows configures Microsoft Visual Studio 2010&quot;) appears, along with a Progress Bar.<br />
<br />
This &quot;configuring&quot; Progress Bar loops a number of times, then PowerPoint opens.<br />
<br />
But sadly, this &quot;configuring&quot; is repeated every time I start PowerPoint.<br />
<br />
Just by hitting the Esc key, the message will disappear, but overall it's very annoying.<br />
<br />
By the way, I can use Microsoft Visual Studio 2010 without any problem.<br />
<br />
How can I fix this?<br />
<br />
Regards,<br />

Hi Experts,

Every time I launch PowerPoint 2010, a message ("Please wait while Windows configures Microsoft Visual Studio 2010") appears, along with a Progress Bar.

This "configuring" Progress Bar loops a number of times, then PowerPoint opens.

But sadly, this "configuring" is repeated every time I start PowerPoint.

Just by hitting the Esc key, the message will disappear, but overall it's very annoying.

By the way, I can use Microsoft Visual Studio 2010 without any problem.

How can I fix this?

Microsoft Office is an integrated suite of applications that includes Outlook, Word, Excel, Access, PowerPoint, Visio and InfoPath, along with a number of tools to assist in making the individual components work together. Coding within and between the projects is done in Visual Basic for Applications, known as VBA.

Visual Basic .NET (VB.NET) is an object-oriented programming language implemented on the .NET framework, but also supported on other platforms such as Mono and Silverlight. Microsoft launched VB.NET as the successor to the Visual Basic language. Though it is similar in syntax to  Visual Basic pre-2002, it is not the same technology,

Microsoft Visual C++ (often abbreviated as MSVC or VC++) is an integrated development environment (IDE) product from Microsoft for the C, C++, and C++/CLI programming languages. It features tools for developing and debugging C++ code, especially code written for the Microsoft Windows API, the DirectX API, and the Microsoft .NET Framework. Many applications require redistributable Visual C++ packages to function correctly and are often installed independently of applications, allowing multiple applications to make use of the package while only having to install it once
