VS2010 error when open dialog-based MFC projects

[EDN Admin]

Every time I open an dialog-based MFC project, there is an error in the properties saying
<pre class="prettyprint An exception was encountered while constructing the content of this frame. This information is also logged by running the application with the /log parameter on the command line, which stores results in "C:UsersDeveloperAppDataRoamingMicrosoftVisualStudio10.0ActivityLog.xml".

Exception details:
System.InvalidCastException: Package Windows Forms Designer Package failed to load.

I have tried to re-install VS2010, but the error still appeared. Would anyone please advise how to solve it?<br/>
