Last week, PowerCommands for Visual Studio 2008 was released. The plug-in adds lots of time-saving enhancements to Visual Studio. Unfortunately, there appears to be a weird side-effect when building Outlook plug-ins (and possibly some other project types). Visual Studio would close unexpectedly without any warning or error message. Tracking it back to to the PowerCommands plug-in was difficult, however, this MSDN forum posting pointed me in the right direction. Upon removing PowerCommands, everything worked well again. It appears people have had similar experiences with other project types as well. Hopefully there will be a fix soon and I can begin using it again . Maybe this will save someone a bit of headache.

Save everybody a headache and advise them to stay away from PowerSuckCommands. Three different dev boxes I've tried them on and they never worked for me (2005). They suck you in with great claims about this or that little added functionality, but there's always a problem.
