Some wizards in Visual Studio 2008 and 2005 break if IE8 is installed. Here's a fix. As discussed in the Visual C++ Team Blog, “after installing the current release of Internet Explorer (Internet Explorer 8), some VC++ wizards do not function correctly.” The reason has to do with a new security policy in IE8.The fix is a matter of adding one registry key:Open regedit (on a 64-bit OS, open the 32-bit regedit)Under “HKEY_CURRENT_USERSoftwareMicrosoftWindowsCurrentVersionInternet SettingsZones”, create a new key called 1000 (if it isn’t already there)Under 1000, create a DWORD entry with:Name = 1207Type = REG_DWORDData = 0x000000Props to Dave Laljee, via Windows Secrets Development Tools
