On the machine that I reinstalled BIDS and it launched using my login it did not work for the Developer who uses that machine.
Similar situation on another machine. I log in it does not launch and another person logs i n and it works for him.
I suspect that there are some BIDS files specific to a user that are corrupt and is causing this issue.
