Computer: Windows 8, 64-bit, 8GB RAM
I upgraded my DevCraft 2012 Q2 SP2 installation to Q3 today and and VS 2012 is crashing after opening a solution. I have the following components installed:
- RadControls for WinForms
- RadControls for ASP.NET AJAX
- RadControls for WPF
- RadControls for Silverlight
- KendoUI for ASP.NET MVC
- MVC UI Extensions
- Reporting
- JustTrace
- OpenAccess
- JustMock
After installing, I started VS 2012 and took a very long time (perhaps 20 minutes) to get to a responsive state. I watched it in Task Manager and it looks like one core was pegged at 100% during this time and RAM consumed grew to over 500MB.
VS did come back eventually and I loaded a solution. Everything looked for a few seconds and then visual studio crashed. I tried rebooting and restarting VS but it crashes every time I try to load a solution. I went into the Windows EventLog and found this error:

I then restarted VS and instead of loading a solution, I tried running TELERIK\VS Extensions Options... This also failed with a dialog complaining about a missing resource (see the attached image).
I also installed the update on a Windows 7 64-bit machine with both VS 2010 and 2012 installed. VS 2010 did not have the excessively long startup time but it also crashed when I tried loading a solution. VS 2012 seems to be stuck loading a solution right now.
Looks like something is wrong with Kendo. I'm going to try uninstalling it.
While uninstalling all of the Kendo components on my Windows 8/VS2012 machine, I went over to the Windows 7 machine, launched VS 2012 and opened the Telerik\VS Extensions Options... I didn't get an error message this time but the dialog is messed up. See the attached image.
Update: After uninstalling all of the Kendo components on the Windows 8/VS 2012 machine, VS2012 was able to load a solution and work normally. On the Windows 7/VS2010 machine, I'm now seeing VS2010 crash whild loading a solition.
