Fatal Execution Engine Error (7A036050) (80131506) - Visual Studio Crash

This article is the continuous of my previous one, Visual Studio crash when adding items to the toolbox.
I provided four solutions are in this article, which I found thru Google search. Also I mentioned in the article, 4th solution is helped me, but it works me one time only, after clear Visual studio Cache. If I try to add the items to the toolbox, again Visual studio closed automatically.

Now I come up with other solution, it fixed my issue permanently.

Solution:
When I checked in the "Event Viewer" of my system, it logged the Error as

.NET Runtime version 2.0.50727.3607 - Fatal Execution Engine Error (7A036050) (80131506)

Microsoft released the Fix for this issue. You can download the fix from this the following link,

https://connect.microsoft.com/VisualStudio/Downloads/DownloadDetails.aspx?DownloadID=16827

Download the relevant fix depends on your VS application Architecture and install it. 

After install this fix, restart your system. Then run your Visual Studio. Now you can add the item many times to the toolbox.

Object reference not set to an instance of an object - Visual Studio 2008 SP1

Problem:

I installed the Visual Studio 2008 SP1 on my system. After that I couldn’t create any project in Visual Studio 2008 IDE.

I’m getting the following Error:

“Object reference not set to an instance of an object”

I checked many sites, it suggests me to re-install or repair visual studio 2008.

But it doesn’t help me.

Accidentally it was discovered that this is a per-user problem. After some research I came to know that some of Visual Studio components have had some problems previously so they were skipped from loading.

Solution:

1. First find out the location of the file devenv.exe, in your system.

2. open Command prompt, set the default location to location of the file devenv.exe

3. Type devenv.exe /ResetSkipPkgs

4. Run it, after completed it will open VS IDE.

(Or)

1. Open “Visual Studio 2008 Command Prompt” from Visual Studio Tools thru Start menu.

2. Type devenv.exe /ResetSkipPkgs

It worked well and saved me lot. Hope It may help you too!
