I recently installed Visual Studio 2005 and SQL Server 2005. After that, I
cannot start MSDN 2005 from within my VS 2005. I can only start it from the
Start button menu tree. I got error message like "There was an error in
document Manager." Then I can see dexplorer.exe from Task Manager processes.
I have to manually stop this dexplorer.exe to exit my VS2005 session.

Does anybody know how to fix this error?

Thanks a lot.

I have the same problem. I installed VS 2005 including SQL Server Express
and everything seemed fine. I then installed the SQL Server 2005 Workstation
tools and (not the server itself) to easily manage the databases inside SQL
Server Express, which works great, but since then every F1 in Visual Studio
either leads to a fatal error in dexplore.exe or even bombs Visual Studio. I
already repaired the Document Explorer installation from add/remove programs
but it did not change the behaviour. On another system without the SQL
Workstation components everything runs fine.

If anyone has a good suggestion, please help. We already have three affected
machines.
