Could not load file or assembly after installing LINQ May 2006 CTP

When working with the class designer in Visual Studio 2005 I received the following error:

Could not load file or assembly 'Microsoft.VisualStudio.CSharp.Services.Language, Version=8.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b03f5f7f11d50a3a' or one of its dependencies. The located assembly's manifest definition does not match the assembly reference. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80131040)

I remembered that I installed the "Microsoft Visual Studio Code Name “Orcas” Language-Integrated Query, May 2006 Community Technology Preview" the day before.


After uninstalling the Linq CTP, everything worked fine again. I didn't find a real solution yet but since it is a CTP version I don't bother too much.

Since it is still a CTP I didn't put a lot effort in it yet. If I find something, I'll let you know.
