God this problem is terrible, it does not make sense and I don't know how to fix it. I need help.

If I create a project in Visual Studio 2005, I get an error message complaining that an infrafistics dll could not be loaded. I do have Infragistics installed on my machine, but I don't use it in 90% of my projects.

Today I creatd a default .aspx web project in Visual studio 2005 . this is the default shell project that is set up for a developer before he/she proceeds with any type of development.I did nothing to the project after it was created by Visual studio, I immediately built it and I get the following error messages:

Error 1 c:\inetpub\wwwroot\test3\Default.aspx: ASP.NET runtime error: Could not load file or assembly 'Infragistics2.WebUI.WebCombo.v6.2, Version=6.2.20062.1079, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=7dd5c3163f2cd0cb' or one of its dependencies. The system cannot find the file specified. c:\inetpub\wwwroot\test3\Default.aspx 1 1 http://localhost/test3/

Error 2 Could not load file or assembly 'Infragistics2.WebUI.WebCombo.v6.2, Version=6.2.20062.1079, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=7dd5c3163f2cd0cb' or one of its dependencies. The system cannot find the file specified.  

What is going on? Why is Visual Studio even talking about the Infragistics dll's even though I do not reference them in anyway shape or form??? Please help me.

Hi brgdotnet,

From your description, I understand that even create a simple web project by template still has the ?Could not load file or assembly? error. In addition, the assembly ?Infragistics2.WebUI.WebCombo.v6.2? is a third-party component.

In my opinion, this can be caused by third party add-ins or VS.NET settings, please try one of the following steps:

    1. Disable the add-ins via ?Tools | Add-in Manager??
    2. Restore VS.NET IDE to its initial state via: ?devenv.exe /setup?, you can run this command in ?Visual Studio 2005 Command Prompt?.
    3. Also, you can run VS.NET in safe mode to see if it works. ?devenv.exe /safemode?
