I was preparing for my session for Jacksonville Code tonight which is coming in a few days and noticed that my JavaScript intellisense no longer worked in Visual Studio 2008 beta 2.  Since part of my session requires that intellisense works and the fact that it is so much easier to write JavaScript, I was in a little bit of a panic.  I looked up the problem in Google and found this post,

Basically two registry entries that must have gotten messed up when I uninstalled beta 1 and installed beta 2:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\VisualStudio\9.0\CLSID\{014E9A41-54E5-44ED-B15E-EFFA8758BFFC}]

"CodeBase"=file:///C:\\Program Files\\Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0\\Common7\\IDE\\Microsoft.JScript.AuthoringServices.dll

and

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\VisualStudio\9.0\CLSID\{014E9A41-54E5-44ED-B15E-EFFA8758BFFC}\InprocServer32\9.0.0.0]

"CodeBase"=file:///C:\\Program Files\\Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0\\Common7\\IDE\\Microsoft.JScript.AuthoringServices.dll

Gotta love the community! 

Thanks!
