In a quite embarrassing turn of events, a complete uninstall of Visual
Studio 2008 (MS has a nice tool to do this all in one shot) followed
by a reinstall, based on advice from Thomas Hack, reminded me that I
had forgotten to install service pack 1 the previous time.  As far as
I can see, that turned out to be the problem.  This has bitten me
before on VS 2005 at which time I did make a note of it, hence the
embarrassment. :)

So, if you run into this problem, first make sure you have SP1 (or the
latest SP at the time) installed.  If that still doesn't help, a
complete uninstall and re-installation is recommended.

Thanks to both John Drescher and Thomas Hack for their input!

Regards,
Charl
