Hi,

I have just installed vs2008 on a clean windows 2003 x64 (virtual vmware)
machine. I am unable to start any unittest and they fail with either by a
forced restart of vistual studio or an error message saying that
VSTestHosts.exe is unable to start, or:

Failed to queue test run 'XXXX': Attempted to read or write protected
memory. This is often an indication that other memory is corrupt.

When it crasches I find the error below in the event log.

What I did to fix this:

- Log in as a different user (Administrator)
- Created an new solution with one class and one test
- Revert to snapshot taken just after I installed this new vm
- Reinstalled VS2008 entrely

I am not ably to run any tests and I am kind off stuck here. Are there any
known issues with unittest on x64?

Knd regards,
