VS2019 throws the 'AdvInstVSIntegrationPackage' package did not load correctly error.

[Eternal21]

I have Advanced Installer Version 17.6 (C087F2E6), with Professional License. I want to build the projects from within Visual Studio Community Edition 2019 (Version 16.6.5), so I installed Advanced Installer Extension for 2019.

After restarting visual studio I get the following error:
The 'AdvInstVSIntegrationPackage' package did not load correctly...



The ActivityLog.xml file referenced in the error message contains the following information:

Hello,

Could you please update your Visual Studio to the latest version (16.8.2) and let me know if everything works as expected?

I want to build the projects from within Visual Studio Community Edition 2019 (Version 16.6.5), so I installed Advanced Installer Extension for 2019.

If I understand this correctly, you have just installed the Advanced Installer extension for VS. If that is not the case, could you please update the extension first and let me know if the issue still persists?

Best regards,
Catalin

Upgrading Visual Studio 2019 to the very latest worked for me, too.

We decided against using the extension, so I never got a chance to test it, but glad the fix worked for others.
