Resolution

Users who are experiencing this issue should examine the following registry key:

On 32-Bit Windows: [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{73B7DC00-F498-4ABD-AB79-D07AFD52F395}\InProcServer32]
On 64-Bit Windows: [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Wow6432Node\CLSID\{73B7DC00-F498-4ABD-AB79-D07AFD52F395}\InProcServer32]

The "(Default)" value should be one of the following:
On 32-Bit Windows: "C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\MSEnv\TextMgrP.dll"
On 64-Bit Windows: "C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\MSEnv\TextMgrP.dll"

If your registry is different, then you can do one of the following:
1. Modify the registry with the value mentioned above. NOTE: Modifying the registry can be dangerous. Please back up your registry information before making changes.
2. If #1 does not work, reinstall Visual Studio 2010 RTM. This should resolve the issue.
