VBP Initialization failure

[pjaquiery]

VBP is bring up a dialog containing the text "Initialization of Visual Build Pro builder component failed: No such interface supported" when any project is run.

This seems to have started happening spontaniously!

Both the command line and IDE versions of VBP fail.

The install info is:

It sounds like something on your box got hosed WRT the COM standard marshaller. Another user who had this problem found it was due to an (apparently) rogue version of oleaut32.dll on their box. You may need to repair your OS. See this article for more details:

Excellent. That has fixed the problem and somewhat confirms our suspicion that a wayward .net build process unregistered more than it ought.

Thank you.
