Visual Studio 2010 crashes opening .cshtml files

I am unable to open any CSHTML files in any ASP.NET MVC solution as VS2010 consistently crashes.

I am running Visual Studio 2010 Premium on Windows 7 Ultimate x64 SP1. Repairing the installation doesn't fix the issue. Anyone know how to resolve this?

Do you have VS2010 SP1 installed? I had a few issues working with cshtml files before applying the patch. – 3Dave

Running the following command from the command line helped me resolve my issue with VS crashing on opening .cshtml files:

devenv.exe /ResetSkipPkgs

The /ResetSkipPkgs switch is documented here and has helped several other people resolve all kinds of problems with VS.
