RE: error while exporting VS settings

Hello Ed,

According to your description, you are experiencing an issue that VS IDE
throws an error when exporting environment settings, correct? If I
misunderstood anything here, please feel free to correct me.
Error 1: Some command bar settings were not exported correctly due to an
internal error.

Do you have any 3rd-party addins or packages installed on VS 2005 (e.g.
Visual Assist or CodeRush)? I suggest you disable all these addins by
(Tools|Add-in Manager), and try to export the setting again.

We have heard a known issue about Microsoft Class Designer Enhancements
add-in. It adds the same toolbar twice, which is causing the failure.
Visual Studio IDE does not have a way of handling the scenario where an
add-in accidentally adds the same toolbar twice. This issue will be
addressed in the next version of Microsoft Class Designer Enhancements
add-in.

If you are also facing the same issue, you can follow the steps as below as
workaround.
1. Disable the following two addins.
-Microsoft Class Designer Enhancements
- Microsoft Modeling Design Tools Enhancements
2. Close all instances of Visual Studio.
3. Delete %APPDATA%\Microsoft\VisualStudio\8.0\1033\cmdui.prf file
(typically C:\Documents and Settings\<UserName>\Application
Data\Microsoft\VisualStudio\8.0\1033\cmdui.prf).
4. Restart VS. The import/export should work without errors.

If the issue still persists, please attach the following document.

#1 the .VSSettings file (found at C:\Visual Studio
2005\Settings\MyCustomSettings.vssettings)
#2 the activity log for the following two scenarios. One can create the
activity log by launching with /log argument ("devenv /log"). The log is
located at %APPDATA%\Microsoft\Visual Studio\8.0\Activitylog.xml (typically
this location is C:\Documents and Settings\username\Application
Data\Microsoft\VisualStudio\8.0). The two scenarios are

(i) Launch "devenv /log" and the close VS when it opens. This gives a
baseline for the log. Save the activity log generated as they are
overwritten.
(ii) Launch "devenv /log" and this time try export settings scenario. Close
VS after scenario completes. Save the activity log generated.

by the way, if there is any issue when you attach the file in newsgroup,
you can also communicate directly with me at v-wywang@xxxxxxxxxxxxx .

Hope this helps. Please feel free to let me know if you have any more
concern, we are glad to assist you.

Hope this helps,
Best regards,
