Ok, i'm not sure if this is the right place to ask this, and if it's not i'm sorry. I recently had to reformat my C drive, and i had to reinstall Visual Studio 2005. Before I reinstalled it, the build menu had all kinds of options like build, rebuild, clean and several more. Now all it has is build Project and Publish Project. How do I get rebuild and clean back?
Thanks.

Sounds like you installed Visual Basic 2005 Express Edition instead of Visual Studio. What does your Help, About menu say?
It is the professional version, not the express. I heard somthing about opening the solution instead of the project, but i'm not sure what thats means....

Solution files are *.sln: they are the ones to open.
Ok, I checked. .sln is the file type that i'm opening, yet i only have the two options to build or publish. Any ideas?

It will be Tuesday before I can check: only have Express here at home.
In the meantime Eddy, it might help to drop a question into the .Net forum.

As you said, you are missing a bunch of menu items. I did some hard digging & hopefully found the solution at http://groups.google.com/group/micro...f3a40c913cfe96
Petar Repac says to: - open command prompt
- go to C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\Common7\IDE (if you installed on some other location path will be somewhat different)
- run "devenv.exe /setup"
"Forces Visual Studio to merge the resource metadata that describes
menus, toolbars, and command groups from all VSPackages available." http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ex6a2fad.aspx
Please let us know if this works! --Sam
Ok, it worked and it didn't. I did exactly what your post said and it didn't work. The things aren't up in the menu. However, after finding out about that whole command line thing, I looked into and i can now rebuild through the command prompt. It's not perfect, but i'll take it for now. Thanks for your help. Any more ideas about actually getting the things in the menu though?
