Hi guyz, I experiencing a wierd error as shown above. I have an application developed with VS2003(with frame work 1.1), however, on this same computer I have also installed VS2005(with framework 2.0). The funny thing is whenever I try to run the VS2003 application it breaks with the above error.

From my research, I'm suspecting that there could be either a conflict between the two frameworks(i.e 1.1 & 2.0) or there's a datacomponent is either over-written when VS2005 is installed.

Initially, I used to experience this problem when I deploy two apps developed from two different framework but now it has reached to a level that I can not even run the VS2003 on the same computer with VS2005.

Please can anyone show how to go round this problem for I have even tried formatting and re-installation.
