VS crashes when choosing Tool Box Items

Hi,

I'm currently evaluating dotConnect for SQLite, but I've run into a crashing issue: If install the product with the VS-Integration option switched on then whenever I select the VS option 'Choose Toolbox Items' (Tools -> Choose Toolbox Items) VS vanishes from the screen and the task bar without any error or warning messages. If I uninstall dotConnet SQLite then the problem goes away, and if I re-install with the VS Integration oprion switched on the problem returns. I don't get the problem if I install with the VS Integration option switched off. Anyone any ideas? I'm using VS2008 Pro (with DevExpress, ReSharper and VisualSVN) and XP SP3.

Thanks, Rob

We need the stack trace when VS vanishes from the screen. To obtain the call stack, connect from another instance of Visual Studio (Debug | Attach to Proccess) to the process of your current Visual Studio where you select the 'Choose Toolbox Items' option. Before attaching don't forget to make these settings in VS that you are using to debug the other one: a) in the (Debug | Exceptions) window select Common Language Runtime Exceptions; b) in the (Tools | Options) window, Debugging | General - clear Enable Just My Code (Managed Only).
