Never saw your problem, so I can only make a WAG about this. My guess is that you do not have access to the file:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0\Common7\IDE\*\msenvui.dll
Try running VS as administrator to see if the E_ACCESSDENIED error goes away.

Looks like after I added zones, and then tried to research your problem, Jacques Bourgeois (James Burger) came to help.

Just another point. A '*' in a path is not a valid symbol - have you entered this path somewhere yourself.
Your help has saved me hundreds of hours of internet surfing.

I have not entered the * in the path myself. But while i was scouring the web, i looked over other people's crash logs and they seemed to have a * in their paths as well, sometimes to dll other than msenvui.dll
So i suspect that the addition of a * might be a microsoft thing.

Also, on my actual filesystem , I found the msenvui.dll in
C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0\Common7\IDE\1033
Also, in
C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 12.0\Common7\IDE\1033 (visual studio 2013)
C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 11.0\Common7\IDE\1033 (visual studio 2012)
and so on.
So this msenvui.dll seems to be used in other visual studio versions ?
Jacques Bourgeois (James Burger)
You are right. It also does in 2015.
When I go to look directly in the directory, there it is. But for some reason it does not appear on a search on my C drive, which prompted my first comment.
Unlimited question asking, solutions, articles and more.

When searching for the crash logs - did you find any solutions to the problem?

Also consider running the 'repair' option of the Visual Studio installation.
ps. I assume other projects/solutions compile & build without problem.

It seems running as administrator gets rid of the error. But I am surprised that it take Admin powers to get rid of the error in the first place. Generally, people would be running VS as regular users, not admins.
This is the best money I have ever spent. I cannot not tell you how many times these folks have saved my bacon. I learn so much from the contributors.
