Application Exception while layouting

General1

Hi,

I get an error whenever I try to use the layout function of Sql Prompt - even in an empty query window.
could anyone tell me what I should do to fix this ?

System.ApplicationException: Exception within progress task ---> System.InvalidCastException: Unable to cast COM object of type 'System.__ComObject' to interface type 'Microsoft.VisualStudio.TextManager.Interop.IVsTextView'. This operation failed because the QueryInterface call on the COM component for the interface with IID '{BB23A14B-7C61-469A-9890-A95648CED5E6}' failed due to the following error: No such interface supported (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80004002 (E_NOINTERFACE)).

Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio 9.00.3042.00
Microsoft Analysis Services Client Tools 2005.090.3042.00

Microsoft Internet Explorer 6.0.2900.5512
Microsoft .NET Framework 2.0.50727.3603
Operating System 5.1.2600


How should I proceed please ?

Thx,

Hi Dirk,

The first thing to try is to register textmgrp.dll -- your SSMS installation is probably corrupt.

regsvr32 textmgrp.dll

Works like a charm.

Thanks a lot !
