Answer/Solution:


The following steps should help in alleviating the issue:

1. Uninstall Rave Reports and perhaps other software (can be database utility too).�

2. Uninstall all of the Microsoft programs (.NET, .NET SDK, MSXML, J# SDK) and complete BDS 2006. Run a freeware program called CCleaner (
http://www.ccleaner.com/ ), which is supposed to clean out erroneous registry entries.

After re-installing BDS 2006, IDE should open up clean with no errors.
