'There is no editor available' error in VS 2010

Question

When I tried to select designer view in VS 2010 I get this error:

There is no editor available for \'c:\\user\\teadrinkinggeek\\documents\\visual

Answer 1

I made a ‘painful’ decision to uninstall all things related to VS 2010, and re-install from scratch. After 6 hours of troubleshooting, re-installing VS 2010 again, it worked.

Note: I initially run Visual Web Developer side-by-side with VS 2010. I uninstalled that package too. Maybe the two packages caused the problem? However I spoke to one developer on Twitter, he said he had no problem with both packages working side-by-side. Maybe it was the way I initially installed them.

If you have the same problem, please backup your work, projects etc, before you uninstall, otherwise you might run into more problems.
