It has been a while since I have written but this is important and I want to get more info out there just in case others are having this issue.
Problem: Visual Studio 2008 does not work in design mode or split view!
Apparently there are many solutions to this problem for most users, however none have worked for me so far. Here is a list I hope they work for you. When I solve my issue I’ll post where I found it or how I did it.

Update:
Ok I solved the issue but your not going to like it!! I had to re-image my machine and reinstall Visual Studio with all of my DLL’s and all of my applications. I am now making a backup image of my pc so that if this happens again I can just start from here! Nice. But now everything is working like a dream.

I found the solution here:
http://www.microsoft.com/communities/newsgroups/en-us/default.aspx?dg=microsoft.public.vstudio.setup&tid=bb0bdafc-18af-4c89-bc2d-99c8bc53eb63&cat=en_US_fe8a9611-ba64-4ac8-bdb1-0084368a7f58&lang=en&cr=US&sloc=&p=1
I launched the executable with the /X switch to extract its
content to a subdir:
WCU\WebDesignerCore\WebDesignerCore.exe /X
Afterwards I launched setup.exe from the extracted dir.
-> I got the above mentioned error as a message box that allowed me to
IGNORE the problem, which I did. So WebDesginerCore was installed
successfully.
