Visual Studio Extension CPU Usage

I have a Visual Studio C# Solution that includes an Advanced Installer Project. I noticed that when I load the solution it starts an advinst.exe process that is always consuming 24-25% of the CPU. The Command Line is "C:\Program Files (x86)\Caphyon\Advanced Installer 15.0\bin\x86\advinst.exe" /RegServer. Is this normal or do I have something incorrect in my setup?

Re: Visual Studio Extension CPU Usage

Hello and welcome to our forums,

This was indeed a high CPU usage glitch in our previous version of Advanced Installer Extension for Visual Studio which we already fixed. Can you please update our Visual Studio extension to the latest version (15.3) and also the Advanced Installer desktop application to the same version (15.3)?

The latest version should not replicate this issue anymore.

All the best,
Daniel

Thanks Daniel. Updating to 15.3 did fix the high CPU usage problem. It turns out that the Visual Studio extension was auto-updating and was already at 15.3, but I needed to update the desktop application which was at 15.0.
