Summary: Problems creating WiX Project in VS 2005

Initial Comment:
I installed votive-2.0.3309.0.msi on top of VS 2005 
version 8.0.50727.42.  I start VS2005 and choose the 
option to create a new Wix Project.  The status bar 
in VS2005 says the project was created successfully 
but nothing shows up in Solution Explorer.  I then 
tried to open an existing project I created using 
VS2003.  VS2005 went through its project conversion 
process and reports success, but again nothing in the 
Solution Explorer.  I have tried both scenarios on my 
work computer and my home machine with the same 
results.  Help!!!

I see the same thing. Here's an interesting symptom:

1. In VS2005, create a new WiX project.
(I'm creating C:\temp\wix\WixProject1)

2. It says "Creating project 'WixProject1.wixproj'...
project creation successful."

3. The files have been created on disk, but in the IDE,
nothing happens. Inspecting in SysInternals' Process
Explorer, I see it has a handle on C:\temp\wix\WixProject1
(the solution directory) and
C:\temp\wix\WixProject1\WixProject1 (the project directory).
It does not have any handles to any of the files that were
created.

4. I open a Windows Explorer window on
C:\temp\wix\WixProject1\WixProject1. From there, I
drag-and-drop Product.wxs into VS.NET. The file opens, but I
get this error dialog:

---------------------------
Microsoft Visual Studio
---------------------------
Attempted to read or write protected memory. This is often
an indication that other memory is corrupt.
---------------------------
OK
