I have the latest VPC of Orcas, Silverlight 1.1 Alpha refresh and alpha tools but when I try to build a debug release silverlight project I get…
Error 1 Unexpected debug information initialization error — ‘Failed to find a required export in the runtime.’ SplashScreenDownload2
I wonder if there is some sort of debug version of the dlls that I’m missing. It used to work before the latest refresh, and it also builds in release mode. Just in case anyone has the same problem or has some ideas this is the diagnosting output from Visual Studio (you get the same error if you run csc by hand)

[Edit] Finally gave and reinstalled the VPC. Please note, if you want an error free install ensure that install IE7 before attempting to install Silverlight, I had lots of odd problems with IE6.
