'Files and folders' page loading issue in VS2008

Hi guys,

I've got two installshield projects that are giving the same behaviour when i browse to the 'files and folders' tab in VS2008.

1) Feature selection list is empty ( despite having specified features )
2) Destination computer's folders pane is empty
3) Destination computer's files pane is empty
4) Occasionally clicking in the Destination computers files pane crashes Visual Studio.

I do not experience this same issue when opening the deployment project directly in Installshield 2009 ( not Visual Studio ).

Has anyone else experienced this issue or are able to shed some light on it for me?

Thanks

It appears to be an issue with adding a 'database project' to my solution. If i remove a database project it works fine, but add a new one and it breaks it again.

Steps to reproduce;

1) Create new solution
2) Add new Basic MSI Project
3) Add new Database Project ( Other Project Types | Database | Database Project )
4) Open 'Files and Folders' view.
