Unexpected internal failure while adding create scripts.

Visual Studio .NET 2003

There is a problem with adding the generated script files to the project. You can try any of the following remedial actions:

  • Try the operation again.
  • Restart Visual Studio and try again.
  • Make sure there is adequate disk space available.
  • Restart your computer and try again.
  • Check the Microsoft Knowledge Base for any available new information on internal errors with the Visual Database Tools. See http://search.support.microsoft.com/kb.
