InfoPath Dev

After I finally got VSTA up and running I thought I was home free.  However, now I am getting some strange functionality.  If I am starting from scratch with the managed code VSTA has no trouble creating a solution and opening up.  The files are then being saved locally within My Documents/Infopath Projects/"Example Folder" now if I close the form and reopen it and try to access the code via Tools/Programming/VSTA  I get an error:  "Infopath cannot start Microsoft Visual Studio Tools for Applications.  Infopath has encountered and error.  The operation failed."  Now when I try this from a form that has been deployed to our sharepoint site (code by default is still being saved locally as well) it throws a slightly different error stating that the code could not be found or accessed.  Would this have anything to do with the fact that all of my folders are read-only, which I can't seem to change?

 Thanks for any help,

Matt
 

I know this post is 5 years old, but I'm having this exact same issue with InfoPath 2010 on Windows 7. Did you ever resolve your problem? I've tried reinstalling VSTA, uninstalling Office SP1, reinstalling Office, reinstalling the .NET framework, and nothing resolves the issue.

I can create VSTA code in a new InfoPath form, but as soon as I save and close the form, if I try to reopen the code in VSTA InfoPath errors out with the message "Microsoft InfoPath has stopped working" and the following error in the event log:
