SYMPTOMS

When you use Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 on a system that has an updated version of the Microsoft .NET Framework 2.0 installed, you cannot run a macro in the Visual Studio Macros IDE. When this problem occurs, you do not receive an error message, and the macro does not run.

CAUSE

The problem is caused by a recent design change to the common language runtime (CLR) components for the .NET Framework 2.0. This change may cause compatibility issues for the design-time engine of Microsoft Visual Studio for Applications. Visual Studio 2005 uses the design-time engine of Visual Studio for Applications for macro capabilities. These compatibility issues may prevent the macro script from being compiled successfully or from being loaded successfully. Therefore, the macro does not run.
