Can anyone help me with this I installed VB from the website and all the other things, except for Microsoft SQL server 2005 Express Edition x86. When I try to make a new project I get an error that says

"The filename, directory name, or volume label syntax is incorrect. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x8007007B)"

If you search these forums for your HRESULT value (0x8007007B) you'll find several threads from other people who have suffered the same problem (or at least a problem with the same symptom).
