This post is not about Paris Hilton, Britney Spears, Beyonce, or Christina Aguilera

Donald Farmer and I were talking about blogs and hits etc. and noticed that posts with certain phrases in their title get a lot of hits. He suggested a little experiment that I post something with Paris or Britney in the title. Well, just for fun, let's see how many hits this one gets. :)

And, please, no complaints from across the pond because I left out the Spice Girls. :)

Fleeting issue with debugging in the designer in the February CTP

If you attempt to debug a package and the package will not run in the designer. Also, if you attempt to execute the package by selecting Debug | Start Without Debugging and it correctly executes, you may be seeing an issue with setup that we've seen on some machines.

If you're experiencing this problem, look the registry value under:

HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\TypeLib\{3ED4D7CC-1ECC-4D11-9AC7-FFA71CE45705}\1.0\0\win32

It should look something like this:

C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\Common7\IDE\PrivateAssemblies\DtsDebugHost.exe

If it has quotes around it, remove the quotes. That should fix the problem.

Thanks to Michael Entin on the SSIS dev team for figuring this out for one of our customers. Hopefully you haven't seen this, but if you do, this should fix the problem.

Thanks,
