Dealing with Confused Installations
Is your Visual Studio Team System 2008 Database Edition GDR installation confused?
Does your menu suffer from multiple instance disorder?
Here is what you can do about it.
- Make sure that Visual Studio (devenv.exe) is closed.
- Start an elevated command prompt.
- Run the following two commands:
| "%ProgramFiles%\Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0\DBPro\DBProRepair.exe" RemoveDBPro2008 "%ProgramFiles%\Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0\Common7\IDE\devenv.exe" /ResetUserData |
Now restart Visual Studio again, and the problem should be cured.

About gertd
Hello,
My name is Gert Drapers, I am a Software Architect in the Windows Server Directory Services team, working on incubation projects. Before my current role I was the Lead Software Architect and Engineering Manager of the Visual Studio Team System Database Edition product, where I designed and developed the declarative database development tooling which is now shipping inside Visual Studio.
Since 1991, I contributed to many parts and releases of Microsoft SQL Server and to the Transaction Management infrastructure (MS-DTC, WS-AtomicTransaction and System.Transactions).
When I am not working, I am spending time with my wife and three lovely daughters; I love to cook and make music. Besides that I am trying to serve the SQL Server community by writing tools and articles which are published on http://SQLDev.Net and http://DBProj.com
I hope you enjoy the blog,
