Just a note of caution to anybody out there who is installing VMWare
Workstation on a PC with Visual Studio installed.
Part of the VMWare install is to add the VMDebugger add-in to Visual
Studio.
On my machine I was able to open Visual Studio but as soon as I tried to open
or create a new project Visual Studio would crash.
I narrowed the issue down to the VMDebugger add-in.
To rectify the issue, go to Tools | Add-in Manager in Visual Studio and
uncheck the VMDebugger add-in and Startup checkboxes.
It should look like this:
I found this to be an issue in both Visual Studio 2005 and 2008.
